Sorted it is there a way I can alter things like have!get changed to !test for example? if not that's cool, I know I can change get to anything like another word so like !info chart for example. But it seems to work with those ones so far getting somewhere now

So it could be just a trigger of !rules or !chart etc... just curious, sorry to be a pain lol I know I am being a pain to all you guys really,but fantastic that I can now actually call info from a text file in chat

I didn't say !key1, I said !get key1

if you are not sure if you have a particular file in a particular directory, you shouldn't be running eggdrop

and key1 is a placeholder for your actual key (0509, Rules, Chart or whatever), it couldn't be more obvious than that

Loads now without crashing, but not able to get it to say anything when I type !key1 or (can I alter that too to another key?) Not sure I have the text file "file.txt" in the main directory and the tcl is set in config and is called info.tcl

This is the code..

Code:

array unset data {} if {![catch {set f [open file.txt]}]} {    foreach t [split [read $f] \n] {       if {[string match !* $t]} {          set k [string range $t 1 e]          set data($k) {}       } {          lappend data($k) $t       }    }    close $f } bind pub - !get foo proc foo {n u h c t} {    if {[info exists ::data($t)]} {       foreach e $::data($t) {puthelp "notice $n :$e"}    } {       puthelp "notice $n :no data found for $t"    } }

the file.txt is also in the bot directory just had it there too...

There's already a variable called data on your bot, thus you can't use it as an array. Replace data with some other array name.

nah... actually I'm initializing data incorrectly

JoshuaUK, substitute first line of the script with array unset data

the .txt file must be in bot's main directory, not in scripts directory

Code:

set data {}if {![catch {set f [open file.txt]}]} {   foreach t [split [read $f] \n] {      if {[string match !* $t]} {         set k [string range $t 1 e]         set data($k) {}      } {         lappend data($k) $t      }   }   close $f}bind pub - !get fooproc foo {n u h c t} {   if {[info exists ::data($t)]} {      foreach e $::data($t) {puthelp "notice $n :$e"}   } {      puthelp "notice $n :no data found for $t"   }}

your file.txt looks like this:

Code:

!key1line1 for key1line2 for key1...lineN for key1!key2line1 for key2line2 for key2...lineM for key2!key3...

and you retrieve data for keyK by typing !get keyK

Right wel what I would like is to have a !Chart option !Rules and !srealses0509 !areleases0509 etc.. for music releases and I can just alter the trigger when I update and remove them and add new ones, and can modify new additions to the lists for each one everytime like the chart etc.. each week through a text file and just .rehash the bot

what do you need multiple triggers for? If you cannot clearly and unambiguously describe what you need, nobody could help you even if they wanted to

Can't see any that read from txt files or that I can have multiple triggers for.

Yeah I have looked into it, but I can't seem to get it to work, going to try again with it, but not sure if it will work, and not sure what I should search for! I looked for Trigger scripts, reading from text file etc.. and not really sure what it would come under.. I will try FAQ and rules etc.. and see
