yes, the result will not be the same, cause the number of arguments is bigger than before, you didnt't write it before...

change -f5- to -f6- but in this case this will not work for previous example,

I wrote exactly what you wrote, but I didn't get the same result, theres another part it needs to remove.

this is an example, test.txt is a source file, after '>' is a destination file, you can put there whatever you want

I`m using public_quotes.tcl, when you add a quote it adds it to "/home/user/eggdrop/quotes.db" in the form of:

#Quotenumber Date Time #Channel Who-Added-the-quote Quote

Example:

1 10/19/2009 16:41:19 #shishkebab [17:21] <+saethr> usa owns kuwait | [17:21] <+Ropaz^> lol where do you know that? | [17:21] <+Ropaz^> kuwait is a state on iraq | [17:22] <+Ropaz^> its like Lyon in france

I could really need a script that once a day, scans that file and makes a new file in that folder called "quoteupload.txt" - the script should remove the all the necessary details except for the quote itself.

So if the quote was:

1 10/19/2009 16:41:19 #shishkebab [17:21] <+saethr> usa owns kuwait | [17:21] <+Ropaz^> lol where do you know that? | [17:21] <+Ropaz^> kuwait is a state on iraq | [17:22] <+Ropaz^> its like Lyon in france

The script will make a new file with this output:

[17:21] <+saethr> usa owns kuwait | [17:21] <+Ropaz^> lol where do you know that? | [17:21] <+Ropaz^> kuwait is a state on iraq | [17:22] <+Ropaz^> its like Lyon in france
