need help with mirclog.tcl

[Donta]

I've installed it on a windows XP machine for Windrop and entered the information to configure it, however when ran it gives error below:

Code: Select all

Tcl error [mirc_privmsg]: wrong # args: should be "time command ?count?"

Would this have anything to do with the path the logs are set to save in? (C:\IRCLOGS)

it looks like this script was written for the linux version of eggdrop because the path was originally set to a /home path. Not sure if this makes a difference.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's my configuration section. its the only thing i altered.

Code: Select all

set mirc_path "C:\IRCLOGS"
set mirc_stripsign "1"
set mirc_ext ".log"

Whilst, as you suggested, the file path variable may not be configured correctly, it is not the cause of the error.

The script calls the core tcl command time but with the wrong number of arguments. I can readily recreate the error below using a public command tcl shell :-

[16:00] <@arfer> % return [time]
[16:00] <@Baal> wrong # args: should be "time command ?count?"

Thanks, but i think i'm over complicating things more than needed. All i was after was something to log the chat activity, which i figured out right in the eggdrop.config file. It does what i want and i think i'll just abandon this script all together.

Thanks for the help though and sorry for wasting your time.

I, myself am getting the same error with the mirclogs.tcl... Is there a fix to it? Sorry to steal a thread, but I thout it was pointless start a new thread for the same issue.

The script in question uses the bad command at least 3 times.

Search for this string in the tcl...

Code: Select all

[time]

and replace it with something like...

Code: Select all

[clock format [clock seconds] -format %H:%M:%S]

In theory, if the rest of that script works, that code should prefix all logged lines with the bot's time in hour:minute:second format.. 20:03:25


Or to prefix each logged line with "Locale specific date and time", use:

Code: Select all

[clock format [clock seconds] -format %c]

would return something like... Sun Dec 23 20:21:21 2012

For other time formatting options, see http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TclCmd/clock.htm

Thanks, Spike! That worked perfectly. I ran the mirclog.tcl before and never had the problem. Thanks again.
