Replacing line in file

[zleppy]

Hi i'm trying to make a higher/lower-game for a channel, and want to keep track of the scores...but i havent found out how to replace a line in a file...
i want to put the nick who guessed the corerct number in a file, or if it exists, just replace the line (and increase the number on it)..
got everything else covered...just this little part left...plz help

Working with files had been discussed before a lot of times, even there is an example how to add, remove and replace an certain line from an text file, do an forum search. Also, I belive it will be a lot easier if you store the results in arrays and save them every 5 minutes or whatever to a file as backup. This also had been discussed before with examples and parts of code ofcource.

thanks...i found a script that works...but now i have the problem that i cant figure out how to check if the array is existing...like...
a new user gets a point..ok... set $score($nick) 1
but what about a old user...how do i add 1 up to the existing value?

dose your_array(thing) exists?

Code: Select all

if {![info exists your_array(thing)]} {
# do whatever
}

and increase it with "incr your_array(thing)"

hmm...ok...almost done now...only one thing...
i found this proc:

proc save_hlowscores {nick host hand chan arg} {
global hlowscorearray scorefile hlowscore
set fp [open $scorefile w]
puts $fp [uplevel 1 [list array get $hlowscorearray]]
close $fp
return 0
}

or..have edited it some...
but how should i set a timer do do it?
i tried "timer 1 save_hlowscores", but that only crashed the bot...

it dies cos you haven't supplied all the arguments, so, use something like:

Code: Select all

proc save_hlowscores {} { 
global hlowscorearray scorefile hlowscore 
set fp [open $scorefile w] 
puts $fp [uplevel 1 [list array get $hlowscorearray]] 
close $fp 
return 0 
} 

and timer 1
