Math problem with regexp

Alchera · Post by **Alchera** » Mon May 24, 2004 2:12 am

Hi,

The following nippet of code is giving me headaches

if {![regexp -- {^([0-9]*[dhm])([0-9]*[dhm])?([0-9]*[dhm])?$} $expire]} {
set expire -1
set index 2
} else {
set e $expire
if {![regexp -- {([0-9]*)m} $e -> min] || ($min == "")} {set min 0}
if {![regexp -- {([0-9]*)h} $e -> hour] || ($hour == "")} {set hour 0}
if {![regexp -- {([0-9]*)d} $e -> day] || ($day == "")} {set day 0}
set expire [expr ($min)+($hour*60)+($day*1440)]
set index 3
}
-----
newchanban $channel $target_hostmask $nick $reason $expire none

Typing "ban *!*stardust@* 2d Test" in the channel, for instance, gives me a ban of 1 day and not the 2 days I want and a ban of 5d gives me 4.

Any help will definitely be appreciated.

Add a putlog after your expr of the value of expire....
Should let you know if the problem is happening there, or somewhere after expire is set...

Hello again

Add a putlog after your expr of the value of expire....

Done, and the math seems to be OK.

In channel: ban *!*stardust@* 5d Test

Results in DCC:

[03:37] <Barry> [03:37] <<Alchera@#aussie-aussie>> !Alchera! ban *!*stardust@* 5d Test
[03:37] <Barry> [03:37] Day = 5 Hour = 0 Min = 0 Expire = 7200
[03:38] <Barry> Channel bans for #aussie-aussie: (* = not placed by bot)
[03:38] <Barry> [ 1] *!*stardust@* (expires in 4 days)
[03:38] <Barry> Alchera: Test
[03:38] <Barry> Created 03:37

Am I misreading what eggdrop is telling me in DCC?

Perhaps eggdrop doesn't count the current day as one of the days...
This would most likely be the case...

Hi,

Perhaps eggdrop doesn't count the current day as one of the days...

Would appear that is the case and it's a minor thing anyway. I'm just glad it wasn't what I'd written. LOL

Thanks for the help

Well, considering as soon as you place the ban, the countdown starts, it only takes one second to pass before it turns to 4 days, 23 hours, 59 mins and 59 sec.

Eggdrop shortens it to the days only.

I will need to check on that in the source though.

Interestingly enough, setting a ban of 1 day results in the following:

[20:49] <Barry> Channel bans for #aussie-aussie: (* = not placed by bot)
[20:49] <Barry> [ 1] *!*hutch@* (expires at 20:49)
[20:49] <Barry> Alcheri: Test
[20:49] <Barry> Created 20:49

Now I'm assuming that's 20:49 the next day as the ban remained.
A ban of 5 days (that shows 4) would be counted 24 hours after the ban is set and would be a total of 5 days all up?

The way eggdrop handles this has now got my curiosity up.
