Hello guys.

I have a bit of a hard one here so it might challange some of your guru's

I have files in a dir /home/eggdrop/news/

I keep backup files of news.txt once its changed it moved to eg news.lastdateused.txt eg news.091706.txt etc

I was looking for a script that could count up how many files where in that folder but exclute the file news.txt

How hard would that be?

The output should be someing really simple like

<bot> There are 12 backup files in the NEWS archive.

What that be possable?
Cheers guys

Code: Select all

bind pub - !news newsrun
proc newsrun {nick uhost hand chan arg} {
set globres [glob -nocomplain -directory /home/eggdrop/news/ news.*.txt]
puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan : There are [llength $globres] backup files in the NEWS archive"
}

hi guys - ok I have it reporting 0 files so its half way working now. just not adding up the files.

Slight change in the requirments. I dont need it it to explude anything now. Just count everything all files. I tried cahnge the news.*.txt to just * but i still get 0 archive files in the privmsg.

Any ideas?

cheers

Jamie

I resolved it - it was an error in the path to file.

thanks
