n/m I realized what you tried to say when I reviewed the TCL manual pages, lol.

Thanks a lot for your help egghead!!!

sorry but I'm a newbie I think what you're trying to say is add 24 hours to my clock before doing the format? That sounds like a great idea, but can you give me the code to do that

Thanks

in my script i use the clock function to get me the current date, but I want to add 1 to the date (say it's the 8th today, and I want tomorrow's date, so I add 1 to 8 to make it 9) set cdate1 [clock format [clock seconds] -format "%m %d %y"] append esttime [lindex $cdate1 0] append esttime...

heh, that's true. thanks so much for your help!

hmm...well i'm using another method, which just uses the basic HTTP package stuff...(ie. geturl, data, etc.) it works fine, but there's just a delay when the remote file is updated to when the bot finally picks that up...as you said there's no cache, so i guess it's not a problem then. oh yeah, one ...

wow thanks for the hasty reply! :D so now my script hasn't really changed...it is using this to grab a remote file set tok [::http::geturl "http://www.baka-updates.com/updater/newrls.txt"] set data [::http::data $tok] this file is always changing and i would like the trigger to display the...

I'm wondering if the file grabbed by HTTP::geturl is cached because it doesn't refresh...is there anyway i can make sure the script displays the up-to-date results?

Thanks

ah, i got it to work! thanks

ok, never mind, that, lol. i've gotten that solved. but now i'm at another question: i have an output of this 11/18/02|Cooking Master Boy|17|Anime-Keep| and after i do [split $list |] i get this 11/18/02 {Cooking Master Boy} 17 Anime-Keep {} how do i make it display just 11/18/02 Cooking Master Boy ...

ok, i'm using this code to grab text from a remote text file package require http set cmd "!updates" bind pub -|- $cmd test proc test {nick uhost hand chan text} { putquick "NOTICE $nick :let's hope this is faster" set tok [::http::geturl "http://www3.telus.net/dekan/newrlsd...

hmm...i'm trying with that code but it doesn't seem to work... i edited a little bit of it package require http #set url of the update file set url "http://www3.telus.net/dekan/newrlsd.txt" #set current date set cdate [clock format [clock seconds] -format "%m/%d/%y"] set cmd &quo...

thanks for the fast reply

and so the *.txt file will be copied to my HD every 10 mins and the output will be read from that file right?

hmm...well if this method i'm using is going to be ineffective (since the text file being shown in the script is only a sample...the actual file is pretty big) is there another way i can achieve this effect? like how can i grab info from a remote website (doesn't have to be a txt file cuz i can pars...

hmm actually there isn't much under <snip>, lol. this is like my first TCL script :lol: let's see here, this is the whole thing package require http set cmd "!updates" bind pub -|- $cmd updates proc updates {nick handle host chan text } { set cdate [clock format [clock seconds] -format &qu...

i think i'd better explain my problem :D i use the HTTP::geturl to grab lines from a remote text file, and then display it in a NOTICE set mydata "$nick" set token [::http::geturl "http://www3.telus.net/dekan/newrlsd.txt" -command [list mycallback "$mydata"]] <snip> pro...
