Return url from a trigger + Text

[johnpursglove]

Hello first post. Just got started in the world of Eggdrop.

Trying to do a simple script that spits out a url from www.ipdb.org (pinball machine database) after a trigger is entered on the channelipdb followed by the name of a game. This script was originally a wiki script I tried to modify for my own needs. Ie:

!IPDB pinbot should return in the channel for all to see.

http://$::www.ipdb.org/search.pl?searchtype=quick&any=pinbot

Any help would be appreciated.
The code is below....

Code: Select all

#========================================================================
# ** IPDB Quick Link
#========================================================================
# * Description:
#
#    * Allows IRC users to link to IPDB quickly through the bot.
#    * The default format is:
#       !ipdb game name
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Features:
#
#========================================================================

# Calls the script when people say !ipdb at the start of the line.
# Changes this to whatever you want to make the script call on other
#  keywords.
bind pub - "!ipdb" spidey:ipdb_link

# Two letter language of the wiki you want to link to.

proc spidey:ipdb_link { nick hand chan text } {

		
	# Print link
	putserv "PRIVMSG $chan http://$::www.ipdb.org/search.pl?searchtype=quick&any=$text (Requested by \002$nick\002)"
}

# Log the script as successfully loaded.
putlog "IPDB_log: Loaded"

Well I solved my own problem for the most part. Found some stuff here in this forum. Read a few parts and came up with a good answer. Well almost. How can I parse a space in the text.

IE !ipdb Black Knight
returns
http://www.ipdb.org/search.pl?searchtyp ... &any=Black

thanks in advance for any help.

puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan http://www.ipdb.org/search.pl?searchtype=quick&any=[string map {" " "%20" "_" "%20"} $text]" 

[string map] is your friend in this case. Any (space) or (underscore) within $text will be exchanged with %20's.

Thanks! Worked like a charm.
