help with spliting a long phrase

[jlongo]

changing a tcl script for what i need... i made this piece of code

i made this piece of code

Code: Select all

	if {[string match "*PVT*" $response]}{
		regsub -all -- "PVT" $response "" response
		set comando [split $response |]
		foreach saida $comando { puthelp "PRIVMSG $who: $saida" }
		}

what i pretend is to split a long phrase initiated by "PRV" and the point of split is marked with a "|" but this code i only get the first word between any "|" ... whats wrong or how i can resolve this problem ???

Thanks

You need to provide more info, cause i don't see where do you get the splitchar from. If you are generating it in your regsub, replacing PVT with | then you have a typo there.

Your replace string is "" instead of "|".

i have the one string with this 'PVT some text to send | some more text to send | and some more text too'

what i pretend is to remove PVT from string (regsub -all -- "*PVT*" $string "" string) and next split the string by "|" and send to user all the splited strings... something similar to explode () of PHP... but in this code i create... the remove of PVT works ok... but i only get the first word of the splited string...

in the string exemple i wrote before the output gived is something like this:

-some
-some
-and

i pretend something like:

-some text to send
-some more text to send
-and some more text too

i'm very new to TCL ... one day...
i can't figure what i'm doing wrong... logicaly seems correct... i think is some bad utilization of split....

thanks for any help

Very simple mistake, you have your : in the wrong place in the privmsg.

puthelp "privmsg $who :$saida"

Thanks , now works fine !!!

can you explain the diference using the : or not ???

Thanks

In most scripting/programming languages, there is a way of using long parameters, by placing them within ""'s.

However, in the IRC protocol, they don't use "", as they can be used within normal text.

As such, any commands requiring/able to take multi word parameters, allways take this parameter last.

Usign the PRIVMSG command as an example.

PRIVMSG ppslim hello to you
PRIVMSG ppslim :hello to you

The first version would only display the word "hello"
The second would display "hello to you".

The : is used to specify the start of the last parameter, in commands where a parameter is multi word.

The only reason it is used as the start, is so that : can be used within the parameter.

Thus
PRIVMSG ppslim ::Hello to: you
Would send ":Hello to: you"
