very basic

[indigo]

i need a very basic script... your say "hello" for example (in the channel) and the bot then says "good day $nick" ... could someone give me a line of code on how to do this?

[]Kami[]

Ok, here it is:

Code: Select all

bind pub -|- "hello" pub:hello

proc pub:hello {nick host handle chan arg} {
  putquick "PRIVMSG $chan :Good Day $nick"
} 

[indigo]

thx :+ exactly what i needed

but what if i need a space in the 'activation text' ??

the bot doesn't seem to accept that

[indigo]

can anyone help me? :+

can anyone help me? :+

Read the difference between a PUB binding and a PUBM binding in tcl-commands.doc.

[indigo]

i'll do that, thx for the pointer

[edit]

i tried

Code: Select all

bind pubm -|- "hello little bot" pub:bot

proc pub:bot {nick host handle chan arg} {
putquick "PRIVMSG $chan :hello to you too" }

but it doesn't seem to do the trick, what did i do wrong? oh yeah, already tried replacing pub:bot with pubm:bot ... i don't know how that affects tcl, but it doesn't work either...

Code: Select all

bind pubm -|- "hello little bot" pub:bot

The mask is matched against the channel name followed by the text and can contain wildcards.

...so try including a % to match any channel name, or include the name of the channel you want the script to work in.

Code: Select all

bind pubm - "% hello little bot" pub:bot

[indigo]

so % is a wildcard in tcl? and i can type %hello% to fetch any sentence containing hello? ok

[update]

hello% seems to work, but 'how%doing' doesn't when i type 'how are you doing' ... what's up with that?

Check the end of tcl-commands.doc...

? matches any single character
* matches 0 or more characters of any type
% matches 0 or more non-space characters (can be used to match a single word)
~ matches 1 or more space characters (can be used for whitespace between words)

sorry for my foolish questions... i'll try and read the document again and in more detail
