no response from any sort of chat. I'll check with my shell provider and see what version of tcl they run.

I've been building it on tcl 8.5b1 so I know it works with 8.5. Not sure what the minimum might be. DCC Chat or telnet to your bot and run the !today command and see if anything outputs in the chat/telnet (such as TCL Error) and post here.

Unfortunately, no. The site i'm using for the information is New York Times. They don't appear to have this info in any other languages. I don't trust the online translators for translating this either.

You don't have permission to access /onthisday.tcl on this server.

Can't get the seperator \n to work, tho... Only outputs first line. If anyone can assist me with that, it'd be great.

The problem is that eggdrop cannot display something with a newline in it. You will only get the text up to the newline, not anything beyond it. You can get around this limitation easily by using foreach and split.

Code:

if {[string match "\n" $seperator]} {  foreach line [split $output "\n"] {    putserv "privmsg $chan :$line"  }}

Added a few features.

- Removed debug logging

Can't get the seperator \n to work, tho... Only outputs first line. If anyone can assist me with that, it'd be great.

Very nice and useful script.

Basically i miss a thing you already have in your "to do" list.

More customization for display of information

..and i dont want that birthday information at the end, if possible

1.1b Released!

2007-10-22T23:28:28-04:00

I have released version 1.1b. New in this version is the ability to use -m (for all information) or -b (for all birthdays). Please download the latest version from the link in the first post. Let me know if you have any issues and keep those feature requests coming!!

Thanks for the suggestions. I added in speechles's code but the if statement doesn't trigger if i did something dumb like !today 9999.

I am working on figuring out how to detect multiple args. Once I get that worked out, I will release a new version with the birthdays switch and the all switch.

I'm still very new to TCL but I'm picking it up slowly.

Thanks for any help!

i also had another idea for expanding this script.
have some sort of -switch to allow more results to be shown.

like if default is set to 3, !today [date] would of course show 3 results but, if a user does !today -m [date] then it could show more releases 6 or 10 or whatever. maybe have the first 3 show in chan and rest show in notice. and if user did the command in pm then it wouldn't matter, all could just be replied via privmsg.
