Make Eggdrop blind to control codes

[SpiKe^^]

This post is in response to the following conversation on #egghelp @ freenode.

<AlphaTech> In the built-in logs how can I disable color? It making funky logs on my logging webpage
<SpiKe^^> not sure if there's a better way, but you could try a little proc i have used to remove all colorcodes from everything the bot sees
<SpiKe^^> but it will affect everything the bot sees, not just the logging stuff

I'm thinking this may of use to others also...

Code: Select all

catch {unbind raw - PRIVMSG *raw:irc:msg}
bind raw - PRIVMSG striprivmsg

proc striprivmsg {f k a} {
  set a [string map [list \017 ""] [stripcodes abcgru $a]]
  *raw:irc:msg $f $k $a
}

This is what BogusTrivia uses to make binds trigger on text that contains control codes.

Please let me know if this helps, AlphaTech.

This has been discussed before and user offered a solution here.

Code: Select all

unbind raw - PRIVMSG *raw:irc:msg
unbind raw - PRIVMSG *raw:PRIVMSG
bind raw - PRIVMSG striprivmsg
proc striprivmsg {f k a} {
   set a [stripcodes abcgru $a]
   *raw:irc:msg $f $k $a
   *raw:PRIVMSG $f $k $a
}

Yup, I mentioned that same prior post too.

This is a revised version of that same proc.
1. As of eggdrop 1.6.21, [stripcodes abcgru $string] does not strip the control code \017, an issue thommey is aware of.
2. For most uses, the "unbind raw - PRIVMSG *raw:PRIVMSG" is not needed.
3. This is a complete example of that proc, with the unbind in a catch, to keep it from killing the bot on rehash.

Thanks for pointing out the prior post I already did though.

Oh snap. To be honest haven't checked the topic you mentioned. /facepalm

Just remembered saw something like this before and wanted to help out and made a fool of myself in the process.

anyway to strip incoming messages only and not outgoing ?

[CrazyCat]

As said on IRC:

Code: Select all

proc striprivmsg {f k a} {
   if {$f ne "${::botnick}![getchanhost $::botnick]"} {
      set a [stripcodes abcgru $a]
   }
   *raw:irc:msg $f $k $a
   *raw:PRIVMSG $f $k $a
}

This will let the message unchanged if emetter is the eggdrop

that code doesn't work with utf-8 especially emojis

[SpiKe^^]

That code has little to do with how your bot does utf-8

See these links for help with utf-8 issues with tcl/eggdrop

https://github.com/eggheads/eggdrop/issues/4

[07:42] <SergioR> it's Tcl issue, not eggdrop
[07:43] <SergioR> utf-8 extended = generic/tcl.h - #define TCL_UTF_MAX 6

Let's see if I explain myself better XD, using eggdrop with utf-8 "emojis" when using !Say 😀 the bot copies the message well using emojis, but by adding this code, it kills the emojis when using !Say 😀 sends signs
