!idle alike script which is probably easy.

The script has served me and friends with perfection for the last months.

Great!

Now, it seems I have found the very first bug. Check this out:
...
<@Gewan> !i iCC0\xD^DASS
<@Eggdrop> "No such server"[/i]

Of course, iCC0\tM^DASS is indeed in the channel. My spontaneous guess tells me that the backslash is what's messing the script's parse. What do you guys think? Suggestions? Anyone care to join for a simple fix?

Ty in advance~

I don't know about that. I tested with a nick that included the backslash, and it worked fine.
However, I found what I believe to be part of the problem. It is mistakes by me, that the use of that nick brought to light.


Find this line:

Code: Select all

putserv "whois [join [string trimright [split $text 0]]] [join [string trimright [split $text 0]]]" 

and let's try to fix it again.
replace with:

Code: Select all

putserv "whois [string trimright [lindex [split $text] 0 ]] [string trimright [lindex [split $text] 0 ]]"

With some quick testing here, it works:
<@mynick> !idle iCC0\xD^DASS
<@botnick> iCC0\xD^DASS has been idle 35 minutes 9 seconds [signon Thu Feb 17 12:25:59 2011]

Let us know if that helps. I hope so.

why not:

Code: Select all

set user [string trimright [lindex [split $text] 0 ]]
putserv "whois $user $user"
