[SOLVED] Trying to set user variables and download a file.

[Salim]

Hey, im trying to make a script which downloads a file depending what the user writes eg. '!stats someone' would get a certain file eg http://server.tld/stats.php?stats=someone. Heres what I got until now and I dont have a clue why it isnt working.

Code: Select all

package require http

bind pub 0 !stats getfile
proc getfile {nick host hand chan text} {
	   set user [lindex $text 0]
	   set x [::http::geturl http://server.tld/stats.php?export=$user]
	   foreach pasta [split [::http::data $x] \n] {puthelp "privmsg $c :$pasta"}
	   ::http::cleanup $x
}

Sincerely,
Salim

Would "someone" happen to contain characters such as {[]}" within it?
First off, you can't use list commands on strings:

Code: Select all

set user [lindex $text 0]

really should be

Code: Select all

set user [lindex [split $text] 0]

Secondly, I assume you've checked user privileges - that the user issuing the command is properly identified as a user with the +0 flag...

Third, do you get any error messages on your console or such?

[DragnLord]

having a bind flag of "0" means the person already has to have that flag in the bot's userlist, binds do not automatically give flags

Changed the line and the flag to '-' and it works now.

Thanks :>
