Deleting *.extentie with an Eggdrop Bot

[TeDDyBeeR]

Hello can someone help me with this, i can;t figger out how exec works, or can someone give me an other option to remove files in a directory, thats not listed in a file or string:

i use now:

Code: Select all

set filenames "${nspuplinkdir}/*.uplink"
exec rm -r ${filenames}

Where nspuplinkdir is a directory in the bots dir "nspuplink"
whithout the bots path !

I will remove all files with *.uplink as extentie

Already thnx

why not rm -rf directory/*.uplink? I believe eggdrop's working directory for exec commands is the eggdrop directory..

Code: Select all

exec rm -rf uplinkdir/*.uplink

[TeDDyBeeR]

if have try'd that also : ps $nspuplinkdir is a "setting" nog a name

and as variable ppl can set in the bot whatever that directory is
If i put -rf behind the rm command it will not give any errors

if i do :

Code: Select all

exec rm -r ${nspuplinkdir}/*.uplink

he will give this error in the eggdrop :

Code: Select all

Tcl error [douplinktime]: rm: cannot remove `nspuplink/*.uplink': No such file or directory

See the file command provided by Tcl.

Do as all greate minds do, and get off your backside.

I have allready given the command name that you should be looking at, and with a quick browse over at google, we can get a link to the TCL/TK man pages, to have a look at the command ourselves.
