dlearn && IRC max message lenght

[roughnecks]

Hi, thanks in advance for the help you gave to me past times....now i got another question relative to the dlearn tcl:

The scripts stores definition of words inserted by users....as the words arise in number i get a problem, while listing them, with the command !learnlist...id est, the lenght of the output is greater in charachters available for one single IRC message (about 400 - 500 chars, usually) and the list gets cut before the ending....

I saw that the command used in the script is a putserv, this one :

Code: Select all

if {$check == 0} {putserv "$learn(method) $nick :The learn file is empty"} else {putserv "$learn(method) $nick :Learn words: $words"}

Version of the script : 1.0.1 same as the archived one.

Now...let's say there is no way to change the limits of messages lenght within the IRC server, witch is not owned neither administered by me.... do u think is there any chance to obtain a new line somehow in the putserv cmd ?


Always grateful, roughnecks.

I think new line char will not help, because this still will be one long string with \n chars (output without spliting will show all chars to first \n mark), but you can always try to split long string into 2 shorter

like, [string length $str] now set some max, maybe 400 and use [string range $str 0 400] and after that You can use expr to count the rest of chars

Or try to convert input strings to shorter or smth. After this will be no problem to output them.

You can even insert \n chars and after this you can split string into a list, [split $str "\n"] etc. etc.

Thank U for the suggestions....actually i'm not able to do it myself in any way you mentioned

I need to look at some F(ucking)M(anual) before doing anything, 'cause i'm really not used in programming.
See U soon.
