Just a comment regarding "isbotnick" vs "string equal";
isbotnick uses the _rfc_casecmp(const char *, const char *) c function, which honors RFC1459 extended character sets, such as { and [ are the same character in upper/lowercase. String equal does not honor such mappings, regardless of the -nocase option.

What happens if you would do a '/who #channel' Doesn't that 'B' flag show up or something?

If this question was directed to me, ... Sorry, I don't know.
rayvtirx would have to try it and let you know.

But I think that flag is a mode flag set on each individual user, not a channel mode flag.

Ah, damn typo. Was going to redo the code using cron instead of time, but changed my mind and forgot about changing there too.

I think 'isbotnick' function either dose the lowercase transformation before comparing (honestly doubt it's this method) or ignores it completely by using 'string equal -nocase' would be one of the ways to do it (I bet my money on this one).

Now, about that +B thing, well, it's easy as you said. All you need is a raw bind for that 'Durga is a bot on irc.icq.com' notice and add the host to a exclude list, either plain file or in the bot's internal userlist.

doh!
i see, botnick is the nick of the bot this script is running on
oops lol
its true all bots have to set +B but a whois every minute on every nick (although not a problem now) could cause problems if it ever got busy
ive gone back to the one you wrote its working great thanks

if {"$nick" == "$botnick"} {
you should use the 'isbonick' function instead, or at least either 'string tolower' both variables

Right you are.
Thank you for catching this and pointing it out.

I've done this in the past, and it bit me in the butt, and I had to come back and I used string tolower to cover it.
(I must have a mental block... since I should know better now..sigh)

Question:
Does isbotnick take care of differences in case automatically?
I never thought to use isbotnick.....

...
Here's my version of the code to exclude from the list:

Code:

bind time - "* * * * *" time:webusers# Path to save text files.set webusers(file) "you/need/to/edit/this/path/web_users.txt"set webusers(count_file) "you/need/to/edit/this/path/web_users_count.txt" set webusers(exclude) "bot1 bot2 bot3 user1 user2" [/quote]I think though, that he is looking for a way for the determination to happen automatically.... without having to maintain a list of nicks manually.[quote]proc cron:webusers {min hour day month year} {[/quote]The bind time above calls [b]time[/b]:webusersTypo ?....[quote]Eventually, instead of[code][lsearch -nocase $webusers(exclude) $nick] == -1

you could use:

Code:

[matchattr [nick2hand $nick] bf #AirfixDogfighter]

to exclude all users that have the b or f flag, or whatever you wish for that specific channel or some global flags.

This is another form of a list that he'd have to maintain though.

I think that he owns the IRC server too, and requires all bots to set some mode on themselves... is it +B ? ....
such that a /whois has a line like this in it:

Durga is a bot on irc.icq.com

We could do something where his bot sends a whois to each nick in the channel, and have a raw bind that traps for whatever numeric corresponds to that line.

If by now you are thinking that it is far easier (if the list is short and doesn't change very often) to maintain a simple list manually - I agree.

That doesn't mean that making it work automatically wouldn't be a fun project, just the for the heck of it.

...
edit:
i stopped by your channel agin and asked but noone seemed to know

...

ive tried this
Code:
        puts $fh "[expr [llength [chanlist #AirfixDogfighter]] - $b ]"    close $fh} 
with the intention that it automatically ignore bots in the count_file
It seems to work (though i only rehashed the bot)

I think I understand what you really want... for the script to examine each of the users currently in the channel, and some how be able to determine if a given user is a bot, or not.

That's interesting.

It becomes a case of, "What are we looking for, and how to we find it?",
when examining whatever characteristics are available to us, for each user in the channel.

Not sure what is the best way to go about it. We'll have to talk a bit more and think about it. ( Have we gotten too far away from the original topic?... should you start another thread? )

Regarding the variable you've introduced - $b - I don't believe that will work, as-is. To accomplish what I believe to be your goal, is not that simple.
There is only going to be one time that
if {"$nick" == "$botnick"}
is true.
Go here: http://www.eggheads.org/support/egghtml ... mands.html
and find the section:
10. Global variables
and see the defintion of botnick for perhaps a clearer explanation of it than I gave you.

Eventually, instead of

Code:

[lsearch -nocase $webusers(exclude) $nick] == -1

you could use:

Code:

[matchattr [nick2hand $nick] bf #AirfixDogfighter]

to exclude all users that have the b or f flag, or whatever you wish for that specific channel or some global flags.

@username : When opening a file with a+ it will:

Open the file for reading and writing. If the file does not exist, create a new empty file. Set the initial access position to the end of the file.

thus no need for:

if {[file exists "$webusers_file"]} {
set fh [open "$webusers_file" "a+"]
}
set fh [open "$webusers_file" "w+"]

not to mention that you open a file and forgot to close it before opening it again.

Edit: fixed typo.

lol its just a tooltip
but this was exactley what ive been after on a few occasions
the nick list excludes the nicknames of bots and the

Code:

[chanlist #AirfixDogfighter]] - 1 ]"

-1 at the end is to remove the bots count from the user_count
thank you very much willyw

...
really all i need is a couple of text files produced one with the number of users in it and another with the usernames,
...
i can remove the bot from all but the #AirfixDogfighter channel. but the number will always include the bot - i could just -1 it in php . the usernames was me asking if there was another kind of a string like the users one in the script that gets the usernames , again i could just preg_replace out the bots name

For anyone following along:
We've chatted live online, and done some testing with his bot.
Below is one version of what we were working with.

Code:

bind time - "* * * * *" web_users# Path to save text files.set webusers_file "you/need/to/edit/this/path/web_users.txt"set webusers_count_file "you/need/to/edit/this/path/web_users_count.txt"proc web_users {min hour day month year} {global webusers_file webusers_count_file botnick        set fh [open "$webusers_file" "w+"]                set nicklist "[chanlist #AirfixDogfighter]"    set i "0"    foreach nick $nicklist {            if {"$nick" == "$botnick"} {                set newnicklist [lreplace $nicklist $i $i ]               }            incr i           }          puts $fh [join $newnicklist ", " ]         close $fhset fh [open "$webusers_count_file" "w+"]        puts $fh "[expr [llength [chanlist #AirfixDogfighter]] - 1 ]" close $fh}

Then, he does some magic with his web page, using the info in the files made by the bot, and makes a very slick looking little pop up (or whatever it is called), when you hover your mouse on his web page.

thanks for your help
i have used livestats before but its a bit too much information for what i want
really all i need is a couple of text files produced one with the number of users in it and another with the usernames, so i can include the number/names as a tooltip, or next to, a link in our forum. the code above i can easily change to just write a number, i can remove the bot from all but the #AirfixDogfighter channel. but the number will always include the bot - i could just -1 it in php . the usernames was me asking if there was another kind of a string like the users one in the script that gets the usernames , again i could just preg_replace out the bots name

any way i could get the nicks of the users in the channel or channels?
and probably asking a bit much now - but perhaps a way to exclude the count of certain nicks ( a bot for example)?

You reminded me of:
http://www.kreativrauschen.com/stats.mod/

I don't know if it will fit with what you are doing, but it makes a "live" display. Nicks listed, etc.

Check your messages here, for a link so you can see it online.

Thats very strange, because to count users I use statdart Eggdrop command chanlist, you can read about it here: http://www.eggheads.org/support/egghtml ... mands.html
I dont know why there is 0 users. Try in your partyline this command: .tcl [llength chanlist #sun]
