waiting a specified time for a response

[bigjb]

I am trying to write a proc within a script that will send a request to an op in the channel, if the op doesnt type "accept" within a set period, then the script moves on to the next op until it either recieves the specified response or has checked all the ops at which point it performs a different operation.

proc adminMsgReport { nick } {
foreach { hasAdmin [chanlist $botchan] } {
if { isop $hasAdmin $botchan } {
#output to admin and wait for response
}
}
}

this is what i have so far, but im really not sure how to approach above. (this procedure isnt called by a bind originally). i understand that i shoudld use a timer, but im not sure how to go about catching the response to stop the timer and quit the loop.

Any help or suggestions would be helpful please

Use a bind to catch the response. Use a timer to measure the delay. Use killtimer/killutimer to cancel the timer if someone responds in time.
