URL Shortener

ok so i just added $result at in the error like that outputs to the channel and all it said was this;

Error; % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current

Code:

bind pub - !miut miut:trimproc miut:trim { nick host hand chan text } {        set url $text        if {[catch {exec /usr/bin/curl -d url=$url http://muit.me/api.php?} result]} {                puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :Error; $result"        } else {                puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :It worked!"        }}

A good start would be to print the actual content of $result once you've done your call to exec, as this will hold either the error reason, or the result from curl.

URL Shortener

Hi, I am having trouble getting my bot to work with my URL shortener API. I've been trying to use curl to shorten a url from the channel, but i don't know how to get teh shortened url so the bot can output it in the channel. Also i can't get the bot to actually shorten the url, it keeps saying error. any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is what i have so far.

Code:

bind pub - !miut miut:trimproc miut:trim { nick host hand chan text } {        set url $text        if {[catch {exec /usr/bin/curl -d url=$url http://muit.me/api.php?} result]} {                puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :Error!"        } else {                puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :It worked!"        }
