Same result, no reply. I tried the .set errorInfo command as suggested (immediately after the error) while logged in, and got back:

[11:42] #Mabus# set errorInfo
Currently:

So I guess it didn't detect any errors. I've also commented out all tcl's except test.tcl so there is no other conflict.

In case it helps, the command I am typing in channel is;

!txt test 1

The folder is txt
the file is test (no extension)
and line 1 reads: 1 this is a test

The bot does not reply at all when I type the command.

I will now take the time to point out that sometimes when a script "does not work", there is also no errorInfo (one word, uppercase I, gives more information when the bot spews out errors on the partyline).
In some cases you may need to add some debugging code in the script (putlog, putidx, etc).

Tosser yeah... there's no error info though.. It just doesn't reply at all. I know this is probably a bit of a pain in the neck for you, I really do appreciate you helping me.

*sigh* .. time to get remedial, let's regress a bit and take some advice from demond.

Now after you've clicked demond's advice link, you surely understand how hard it is for a stale 'it gives no reply' to help troubleshoot anything. If you don't understand, now is the time to ask questions. If you do understand, your follow up post with .set errorInfo report should be forthcoming...

Edit: In reply to dragonlord's post below; Yes, certainly there are cases where .set errorInfo indicates no problems. But even this is helpful to prove where the logic errors are.

As you said, the command does not reply, it will be alot easier to fix the problem if you can paste the errorinfo.

I take your point regarding confusing people. Let me try as simple an explanation as I can make it then. I need a command where, if you type a command to read a line, The bot reads the line # from a file in a folder and puts the line itself back in the channel;

!folder filename line#
Line1 this is the text on line 1

I can't think of a clearer way to put it. If you can by all means let me know.

Speechless, I came to the forum for help... Tosser offered a suggestion for a script that didn't work for me, and after no one replied after a couple of days I repeated my request to see if anyone else had any ideas (lest anyone think the problem was solved).

I assumed this was the best way to go about it, rather than double posting. Obviously I was mistaken and offended you, and I apologise, it was not my intention to do so.

As for your suggestion on the change to Tosser's script. It did not work. The bot does not reply to the command at all now.

Haw.. there is no need to apologize, as it doesn't change anything. The problem is people are assuming this forum section is a 'magic lamp'. Then posting here to them basically is the act of 'rubbing the lamp'. Now the part everybody waits on forever is the genie. Sometimes if you request is meger and not some intense 40hr project, you will get a genie faster... Your request was somewhere in the middle, and your genie was one with much expertise, so to assume after his initial attempts to help you that 'no one knows how to do this' insults your genie. Hopefully you understand, with the clues you gave as to the structure and what not of your files. You've confused many genies initially. Hopefully Tosser can help you further, and your persistant 'rubbing' doesn't upset him as well...

there was no sarcasm.... and it wasn't a bump .... and it wasn't an attempt to make people "do my bidding" ... it's a script request forum is it not? It's a script I really need, and this is more of a plea for help. I thought that's what this forum was for after all.

There was indeed a bump you silly silly person. You posted this No one knows how to do this? as a new post, when you could've just edited your prior post. Instead of doing that, now you have two replies of your own in a row. This constitutes a bump. You did this so your request would move to the top. In doing this, you ARE NOT going to get any more help. In fact, quite the opposite, people will stop helping you.

Btw, noob, all you need to do is change this line, and instantly Tosser^^'s code works according to your layout.
set folder(dir) "[pwd]/folders" -> set folder(dir) "[pwd]/scripts/txt"

No one wants to do this?
corrected your quote above, no thanks neccessary...your tone sounds sarcastic, and your bump isn't going to magically make people do your bidding...

Hey tosser... interesting script, It gives me an error message now that file "fil does not exist". on the command !folder file test.txt 1

Thing is... that format is a good bit different than what i need. I really need the trigger to be !folder file # Example;

!help channel 17

should return line 17 from file cha from folder help
