Multiline element in array

[Xian]

Hi all!!!

Anybody know how can I use a multiline element in an array of strings?

Sample:

Code: Select all

set quote {
"\"I never forget a face, but in your case I'll make an exception (Groucho Marx)\"" }

And I want that the quote is presented in 2 separate lines on the channel:
I never forget a face,
but in your case I'll make an exception (Groucho Marx)

Can I define some NewLine char or something like this? I don't want to use two elements of the array becouse i'm using a Quote script that only works with one element at a time.

Thanks in advance, and excuse my poor english.

The newline char is \n. therefore your code needs to be

Code: Select all

set quote { 
"\"I never forget a face\nbut in your case I'll make an exception (Groucho Marx)\"" }

The only problem is, if this is being spat out on IRC then you'll be missing the "PRIVMSG #chan whatever"

so you prolly need:

Code: Select all

set quote { 
"\"I never forget a face\nPRIVMSG #chan :but in your case I'll make an exception (Groucho Marx)\"" }

if it is used in multiple channels then you're probably screwed

Other methods are to use multi-dimentional lists (AKA lists within lists).

Code: Select all

set quote {
{{This is item 0 in list 0} {this is item 1 in list 0}}
{{This is item 0 in list 1} {this is item 1 in list 1}}
}

Somthing like this will spit a random quote.

Code: Select all

foreach a [lindex $quote [expr [rand [llength $quote]] -1]] {
  puthelp "PRIVMSG #channel :$a"
}

If the random value is 1, the following is spat out

PRIVMSG #channel :This is item 0 in list 0
PRIVMSG #channel :this is item 1 in list 0
