looking for channel history script

[psst]

I want users to be able to ask the bot for the last n messages or the last n minutes or hours of messages.

This would be a logging, and *recall* bot. I have tried searching for history, recall, and replay. I have not found anything. Do you know of such a script? What should I search for to find this capability?

irc clients have backscroll?

Code: Select all

bind dcc n readlog dcc:readlog 
proc dcc:readlog { h i a } { 
  if {[llength [split $a]] != 1} { 
    putdcc $i "usage: .$::lastbind <logfile>" 
    putdcc $i [join [glob -nocomplain -directory logs *.log]] 
    return 
  } 
  if {![file exists [set f [lindex [split $a] 0]]] || ![file readable $f]} { 
    putdcc $i "Error..." 
    return 
  } 
  set d [split [read [set fp [open $f r]]] \n] ; close $fp 
  putdcc $i "LOG START" 
  foreach l $d { putdcc $i $l } 
  putdcc $i "LOG END (read [llength $d] lines)" 
  return 
}

Not exactly what you wanted but the above will display the bot log.

True, but pretty cool all the same.
If I could make this work in IRC with direct messages, I would be sorted.

but that won't show you what happened before you logged in.

After 3 frustrating days trying to learn eggdrop I gave up and wrote my own Java pircbot. It's very simple but it does what I want and all our users behave nicely.

Thanks for the support, all. I am sure I will be back to eggdrop when I need a cleverer bot.
