Replacing spaces with %20

[user]

so why is it less time to repeat 1050 times than 5 times ?

The number of microseconds is not entirely accurate (because of other processes using the cpu at the same time) and for such low values the rounding may cause results like that. Let's say your code took about 1.5 microseconds...only a tiny difference in execution time might tip it over.

It's not been part of eggdrop for a while. But there's a proc called "time" in scripts/compat.tcl.

Thats the culprit indeed. Thanks.

Ive written a little tcl script that gets the content of a php page Ive set..

everything works fine untill the 'thing' (username in this case) I want to retreive has spaces in it..
cus then the bot somehow replaces the space with a character which the webserver does not understand..
so.. what I want to do is replace a space with %20 which is a space for internet browsers when used in the address.. (duh )
problem is im kinda new at tcl scripting and I dont know how to replace stuff..

so my question is HOW can I replace a space with %20

Code: Select all

first reply worked just perfect.. thanks a lot mate :)
regsub -all " " $text "%20" text

or

Code: Select all

set text [string map {" " "%20"} $text]

I prefer the first method myself..

also, a better place to start before asking for commands, is the tcl manpages.
