this is because the code does the same as DragnLord's code... you of course need to replace the previous reading and splitting with the new one .

Code:

proc file:read {n u h c t} {  set fl [open $::fileread]  set lines [split [read $fl] \n]  close $fl  ...}

But as said... due the lag from IRC you will most likely not notice anything. On small files (less than 1mb?) it is be even ~1ms slower (about half the time per iteration with time), since it has more function calls ^-^.
As mentioned... I dont know what kind of speed you except. Bots usual respond time is 1-2sec. You have to edit your source or use putdccraw to skip all queues which will get you flood kicked for sure, unless you have IRCOp control of the server the bot is connected to.

In case your bot really needs a few seconds to read the file, it must be your shells fault, since on shells I know it reads like a few lines within a few ms. So anything smal enough to be redirected to IRC should be read with both functions within a time you cannot notice as a human.

Edit: I noticed I could put together the befits of both . Less function calls and less memory copies .

I modify the code like that:

Code:

proc file:read {n u h c t} {  set fl [open $::fileread]  set data [read $fl]  set lines [split $data \n]    while {![eof $fl]} {        lappend lines [gets $fi]                      }  close $fl  foreach x $lines {    putquick "privmsg $c $x"  }}

but I cant see any different of speed reading file beetwen previous code and this code.

Is possible an error in script ....??

what now? delay or faster?
using

Code:

  while {![eof $fl]} {    lappend lines [gets $fi]  }  close $fl

would decrease memory usuage and therefore might speed up a little on really large files... but... no idea what could be faster, else you want to use some floody speed and use putquick or even putdccraw ^-^.

Good evening yall.

I have been reading the forum's and not getting very fare. Its been one of those days. I know its on the board somewhere but I cannot find it.

I have a file which contains a user's nick and then a timestamp. We use it to keep track of when users where first seen on our channel.

The question I have is this. I want to be able to type !users and eggie goes off and lists every line in the text file eg

!users
nick1 2006 05 05
nick2 2005 05 01

etc.

It does not need to re-order the lines or anything just read them out as they are shown in the txt file.

Here is an example of exactly how the text file looks.

Code:

Quest 2006 05 21 19 27Wolfie 2006 05 23 19 34Ladybug 2006 05 23 19 38NeXXtea 2006 05 23 19 39

Any help would be extremly helpful.

Kind Regards and god bless
