newbie basic help script

[Joel]

Code: Select all

bind pub !help bot_help

proc bot_help {nick uhost hand chan rest} {
       putchan $chan "Google Commands: !google !image !groups !local /n
			BoFH Commands: !bofh !selbofh /n
			Bash.org: !bash /n
			Others: !seen"			
    return
}

I think I'm doing something wrong with the command !help?

Anyone give me a quick pointer?

your [bind] command has invalid format, it lacks flags parameter

use separate [putchan] command for each line to output

[Joel]

Your a star, thanks

Is there any way to get it to just output everything in one chunk of text, rather than on separtate lines?

certainly there is, simply don't include newline character(s)

IRC protocol is single line, meaning if the bot really sends it out it will get the error that there are no commands called "BoFH", "Bash.org:" and "Others:" ^-^. There is no known for me to force a client to do a linebreak without really printing a new line.

[demond]

not only IRC, you cannot force linebreak anywhere without using new line character

thats wrong, in a telnet connection you can use linebreak (or beter move the cursor down and backwards, but thats the same as linebreak in the end anyway, at least in windows) with ANSI codes, but mIRC ignores ANSI codes altering the cursor (I confirmed that after posting my previous post).

Code: Select all

[17:49:59] tcl: evaluate (.tcl): putdcc 11 "two \033\E\033\[40Dlines"
two
lines

test it yourself

[demond]

linebreak == newline == LF == \n

[Alchera]

linebreak == newline == LF == \n

I thought that was rather obvious to anyone.
