how to cache a text-file and write it out to a channel?

You should be able to bypass flood protection using:

Code:

putdccraw 0  \n

Code:

proc putflood {arg} {  putdccraw 0 [expr [string bytelength $arg] + 1] $arg\n}

or using the above

Code:

putflood "string"

how to cache a text-file and write it out to a channel?

2009-07-07T16:15:05-04:00

I just ran a test to confirm what has been said previously

Code:

bind PUB - .flood pFloodproc pFlood {nick uhost hand chan text} {    set id [open flood.txt r]    set data [split [read -nonewline $id] \n]    close $id    foreach line $data {        putquick "PRIVMSG $chan :$line"    }    return 0}

The content of the text file is as follows :-

this is line one
this is line two
this is line three
this is line four
this is line five
this is line six
this is line seven
this is line eight
this is line nine
this is line ten

The first 4 lines are output to the IRC channel pretty much immediately and the remainder every second or two.

As nml375 suggested, this may well improve using putdccraw but I would not wish to try. DALnet is fairly relaxed up to a point, then pretty draconian. I am using my Windrop (same host as my connection) for the testing.

It does beg the question, why would you wish to deliberately output many lines at once? Unless it is your intention to flood. Knowing the likely outcome, this is something that most people would wish to avoid.

puthelp, putserv, and putquick all use eggdrop's server-queue's with different priorities. All are, however, affected by eggdrop's penalty point estimation - which is used to prevent your eggdrop from flooding off.

Even if you would bypass this queue (using the putdccraw command), the irc server would still throttle your output, and in addition, possibly boot you off the network for flooding.

There are some server-software that might allow trusted clients to circumvent such flood protection. You would probably only find such features in reality in private networks.

Did you try the suggestion by raider2k ie. using putlog to output to the bot's partyline instead of to IRC. This tells you if it is server lag or server flood protection (if it now outputs to the partyline quickly) or a possible code error (if it still outputs to the partyline slowly).

thx, now its a touch faster.
the first 4 lines are posted very fast, but than the same as above- every 2 seconds one line

//edit: i think, it is my eggdrop

Try putquick instead of putserv, otherwise using same syntax.

most probably because of the ircds built-in flood protection,
refer to your live operators and/or check out the ircds webpage (if there is one)

you might also want to try replacing (testing purpose only!):

Code:

 putserv "privmsg #channel :$line"

with

Code:

 putlog "privmsg #channel :$line"

and then watch your partyline after rehashing if it comes fast or not.
if it does - its the ircds floodprotection, if it doesnt - code error (which i highly doubt)

Code:

# read file once into a listset fslines [split [read [set fs [open $file2]]][close $fs] \n]# elements of the list contain lines from fileforeach line $fslines { putserv "privmsg #channel :$line"}

Edit: Fixed "putserver" to "putserv"

how to cache a text-file and write it out to a channel?

2009-06-29T02:07:51-04:00

hello,
i have a *.txt with some lines of text. i want to parse it to a certain channel. i realized it with:

Code:

set fs [open "$file2" r]while {![eof $fs]} {gets $fs lineif {$line == "" } { } else {putserv "PRIVMSG #xxx :$line";}}close $fs

but it is very slow... is there a way to cache the lines or something?
