If statment for command only on that channel ?

Thanks guys for the help.

Using willyw's vsrsion as its the simplest and works great

caesar,
Code:
if {[string tolower $chan] = "#help"} { # do whatever } 
It dont make any difference if the chan name is upper or lower case

ahh snap.. should have been == not =, meaning:

Code:

if {[string tolower $chan] == "#help"} { # do whatever }

willyw,
You can simplify that code further, since you've defined "whatever" as a flag.
Code:
..if {[channel get "whatever"]} {...
...

Cool. Thanks for coming in.

Now that you mention it, vaguely I remember finding more than one way to do it.

Honestly, I have no idea where I got that bit of code. I have no doubt that I borrowed it from someone else's scripts.

Gemster,
Case-matching with channel names is generally an issue, as on most networks, clients are free to use whatever case they prefer. Also, most irc clients preserve the case the user used to join the channel:
Thus, someone joining #help and then typing .help, would then trigger the code, while someone joining #Help (same channel, different case) and then typing .help, would not. That is why you should use the code suggested by Caesar

seems there is a few ways..

this way is my fav
...

I like this one... makes it easy to turn the script ON and OFF, on a per channel basis:

Code:

setudef flag whateverbind pub - "!command"  someprocproc someproc {nick uhost handle chan text} {    if {([lsearch -exact [channel info $chan] {+whatever}] != -1)} {       # your procedure code       # line by line       # goes here        } }

Use:
.chanset #channel +whatever
to enable, on a given channel
and
.chanset #channel -whatever
to disable it on a given channel.

Don't gloss over the word "rough" in my other post above.

I just wanted to get you pointed in the right direction.

There could be loopholes to fall through, with what I quickly did.
Caesar may very well have a point - experiment carefully and be sure.

I'm glad it got you going though.

Code:

if {$chan != "#help"} {putquick "privmsg $chan :!help dont work in here;return}//return, with a chan msg explaining whyif {$chan != "#help"} {return}//return, without a channel msg

Since FOO is not equal with foo you have to either use 'string tolower' on $chan where all upper (or title) case letters are converted to lower case OR 'string equal -nocase' where the strings are compared in a case-insensitive manner.

Examples:

Code:

if {[string tolower $chan] == "#help"} {# do whatever}

or:

Code:

if {[string equal -nocase $chan "#help"]} {# do whatever}

Edit: fixed minor typo.

for example if a user types .help in the channel #help the bot will respond but if they type .help in another channel like #lobby it wont respond.

Here's a rough idea (not tested):

Code:

bind pub - ".help" fooproc foo {nick uhost handle chan text} {     if {"$chan" != "#help"} {        return        }# whatever other commands you want go here}

Even though I didn't test it for errors, I bet you get the idea.

Hi,

had a look through a links that i have bookmarked from willyw

Anyways im looking for an if statment where a command can only responded to on a channel.

for example if a user types .help in the channel #help the bot will respond but if they type .help in another channel like #lobby it wont respond.

Thanks
Gemster
