One result in public, the rest in private

[rubenmb]

Hi everyone,

Here's what i want to do. I have some results from a mysql query, lets say like 10. And right now, i am using a foreach loop to set my variables for each one of the results and output them into one channel. Now what i want to do is output the first result it finds in public, and all the rest in private.
Anyone has an idea on how this could be done?

Code: Select all

puthelp "PRIVMSG #chan :[lindex $list 0]"
foreach item [lrange $list 1 end] {
	puthelp "PRIVMSG nick :$item"
}

That looks nice. Tks for the reply. But how should it be done if some of the results contain more then one argument in the same string:

Code: Select all

{some text more text}

lindex will result in an output of those words like they were diferent results:

Code: Select all

some
text
more
text

In your first post you said you used foreach to create some variables... $list in my example would be the list you passed to foreach.

Yeah, and for

Code: Select all

{"some text" "more text"}

lindex will result in

some text
more text

Yes user your right, i should have posted you some code.
And that way you would see that after calling the foreach i handle each argument of each string in a way
that makes it impossible to use the method you posted,
because its no longer:

Code: Select all

 {some text and more text} {second result text} {and so on}

after my foreach it'll be something like:

Code: Select all

[TAG] Result 1: \002some text and more text\002

for each of the resulted data.

But your help was still very much appreciated, cause basing my self on that
i was able to tweak the script and end up with what i wanted.
I'll explain for the ones that will run into the same problem:

Code: Select all

## instead of looping around the raw data first
## I separated the first result ($n1) from the rest ($nx)

       set n1 [lindex $data 0]
       set nx [lrange $data 1 end]

## then i submited the first result to my proc with type=public

       my_proc $n1 $needed $variables public

## for the rest of the results, and now yes, i use a foreach loop and type=private

       foreach item $nx {
          my_proc $item $needed $variables private
       }

## then on my proc

proc my_proc { item needed variables type }
set this
set that
bla bla
if {$type == "public"} {
     putserv "PRIVMSG $channel :$line"
} else {
     putserv "PRIVMSG $nick :$line"}
}

So thats how i pull it off
Again thanks for the help user

So basically, you did exactly what user suggested
