i want the bot to parse this output to only display the line if it matches a certain date. like today is 11/18/02, how do i make the bot display only the 11/18/02 line?
split is a list command. It operated on strings, and converts them into lists. These brackets are used to designate the begining and end of a item within a list.
As you have done, you have split the string, using |.
You can then use the "join" command to convert from a list, into a string. Again, you need to specify a charater, you use as a joining character. If you where to use a |, it would return your original list (to show how it works). You can use " " (including quotes) to join it with a space.
Notice the {} at the end of the list. This is because you have a | at the end of the string. To get around this, you can use "string trim" to remove the end white space that "join" will generate.
