Trouble with args, *PROB SOLVED*

[Vexor]

Greetings all,

I'm creating a small user's help guide for my bot so people can know all channel commands for the bot. This works to some degree. If I type in "!help google" I get the small help text that explains how to use it. But if I just use "!help" I get no response at all. It's probably just a total brain fart but I can't put my finger on it.

Code: Select all

proc send:help {nick uhost hand chan args} {

        #Bring in the default list
        global helplist

        if { $args != "" } {
                put:help $args $nick
        } else {
                putserv "privmsg $nick :Current general commands include: $helplist"
                putserv "privmsg $nick :For more information on a topic use \"!help topic\" (such as !help google)"
        }
}

put:help is what calls if args is not blank, (ie, the "!help google", which works) What's not working is the else statement block.

Any suggestions?

Try this:

Code: Select all

proc send:help {nick uhost hand chan args} {

        #Bring in the default list
        global helplist

        if { [llength $args] > 0 } {
                put:help $args $nick
        } else {
                putserv "privmsg $nick :Current general commands include: $helplist"
                putserv "privmsg $nick :For more information on a topic use \"!help topic\" (such as !help google)"
        }
} 

Maybe llength $args works...

you should use

Code: Select all

proc send:help {nick uhost hand chan {args ""}}

[Vexor]

Code: Select all

proc send:help {nick uhost hand chan {args ""}}

Just isn't working

I'm at a total loss. [llength $args] didn't work either.

*UPDATE* I said the hell with it and just rewrote the code. Thanks for your suggestions, and sorry for the trouble. *mutters to himself*

Code: Select all

bind - pub !help myproc
proc myproc {nick uhost hand chan text} {
     set cmd [lindex [split $text] 0]
     if {$cmd == "google"} {
              puthelp "PRIVMSG $nick :Google help line 1"
              puthelp "PRIVMSG $nick :Google help line 2 etc."
              return  
     }
     if {$cmd == "something"} {
              # more stuff here
              return
     }
     if {$cmd == ""} {
              # Whatever you want..
              # could also just use the next "else" part after any "if", for default help..
               return
     } else {
              # default help stuff here...
              return
     }
}
