Logs and ads

zacon · Post by **zacon** » Tue Apr 01, 2003 12:35 pm

Hi, I'm running an eggdrop and a pisg to write chanstats to a file. Pisg will just read the eggdrop logs, and make a nice html page with stats; most used words, most active nicks, etc. out of that. Problem is I run the bot on a serving channel, which means there's a lot of ads shown. A typical ad would look like this:

<zaconDCC> ** For a listing type: "/msg zaconDCC xdcc list" **
<zaconDCC> ** Futurama Season 5 SVCD releases **

The statspage says that zaconDCC is a very active nick because he says so much. I don't want that.

An nice and easy solution would be to make eggdrop skip everything that have "For a listing type" in it. Is there someway i could do that?

Thanks for any help.

omg(!) what will ppslim say.

take your warez elsewarez

No, not this time, but a warning will be issued. Only because the problem is related to site stats, which is legitimate.

You would have to see the config of psig to see if there is any way to exclude certain nicknames.

Though, please do take your warez somwhere else.

Yes, I'm sorry about that. Just forget that part, and say that I want to know how I can make eggdrop ignore all lines with sertain words in it. I don't want to ignore any nicks. It's also filling up my logfiles, so I'm afraid configuring pisg is not the answer.

What you want is to ignore liens like that, but at the same time, not ignore any nicknames?

I don't see the logic in try to ignore nothing

i think he doesnt want to let the bot log channel msg's from a certain nick / user because the log file would get too large. he doesn't want the lines to apear in the log file..

maybe you try something like mel and add some line to ignore it...

This "should" block any lines that have a ** in them (like the ones you pasted). To change it to something else, just change the string match command.

Code: Select all

bind raw - privmsg msg_blocker
proc msg_blocker {from keyword text} {
  if {[string match *\*\** $text]} {return 1}
  return 0
}

I didn't test it.

Yes, that actually almost worked, thanks a lot. Problem is that it always rawed, so that nothing said in the channel was logged at all. Very strange actually, it says clearly in tcl-commands.doc that return 1 would make it raw and that return 0 wouldn't.

hmm I didn't copy it right or something

It should be {*\*\**}, with braces like that

Yeah I figured that out myself, but I couldn't get it working with that either, so i had to add the info to the logfile manually. Finally got it working using this:

Code: Select all

bind raw - privmsg msg_blocker 
proc msg_blocker {from keyword text} { 
  if {[string match \*xdcc* $text]} {return 1}
     putloglev "*" <mychannel> "<[lindex [split $from "!"] 0]> [join [lrange [split $text ":"] 1 end] ":"]"
     return 1
}

Thanks for your help

ou should not do that with the RAW bind.

This blocks all incoming PRIVMSG commands, including CTCP messages.

This will make your bot almost uncontactable.
