string match? and -nocase ??

2002-11-19T04:57:04-04:00

This is not a problem with the server my eggdrop is running one, I guess is lag on irc or something like this.

Other factors can affect speed.

Machine load? If the machine is under high load, then it will of cause be slow.

Low on memory? If the machine is low on memory, then is will be heavily using swap space, which is tiem consuming.

OS? Background tasks, and OS design will slow down a system a lot (IE, windows is crap).

Optimsation? This mainly ties in with OS, but unoptimsed code will reult in poor overall performance, both of the bot and the machine. CGYWIN is probably one of theworst environments to run it under.

Overrun system? While a system may not be under high load, or low memory as such, sustained midrange loads will affect the performance. Eggdrops are designed for servers. A server is designed for specifi jobs. As such, the less you run the better.

Combination: By combining only two of these, you can mroe than double your problems, that is obvious. So, you may have a fast machine, but what else is it used for.`

I'm using an bind like: bind pubm - {* *#*} no:adv. Probably the eggdrop/server had a bit lag, and this can explain why it was slow, I guess. Thanks for the fill in.

LoL.. no my pc ain't slow, P4 at 1.2 <- if this is slow, then I'm the president of USA, and I'm not

It's probably your imagination that the bot is slowing down. It only takes a couple microseconds to execute the code. Also, as long as your bind is matching for "*#*" then it's only executing when there's a good chance there is spam. It really shouldn't be noticeable.

Given that the code is one of the fastest ones, it's unlikely that using other code will make it appreciably faster. If your bot is slowing down because of this, you need a new computer :)

As I have said in the other post where is talking about this, using this part of the code:

Code:

foreach word [split $arg] {   if {![string match "*#*" $word]} { continue }   if  {[string compare -nocase $word $chan] == 0 } { continue }

I have come to the conclusion that my eggdrop is now a bit slow when this is a spam on the channel. Any other alternative, maybe an faster one?

Well, I haven't understood wich is the best I'll look again there and follow egghead instructions and his last code ad hope this will work.

Caesar,

Don't you remember that other thread where we were all talking about the best way to do this? We already figured out several ways to do it, and even ranked them according to accuracy and performance.

You even posted in the thread. And then we told you which code to use.

If you want to remove this "exploit" then use the code we have already posted.

Anyway, your question has nothing to do with the original thread by up^to^you lol. This is silly.

It would be safer to use an if/else then only the first one it finds will be executed.

This removes the exploit... sort of.

However, you will have to order it with the one that needs to take precidence first.

Otherwise you are going to have to use string first to find out which one comes first in the string....

Using the code you told me, got the folowing results:

[19:02] <@caesar> #channel
[19:02] <@bob> do nothing
[19:02] <@caesar> #dsghsdt
[19:02] <@bob> kick/ban

Ok, until here is ok.. then:

[19:03] <@caesar> #dhsd #channel
[19:03] <@bob> do nothing

and boom! .. wrong.. This covers only the first part, the other part is exploatable as you can see. Well?

Code:

bind pubm - {* *#*} adv:matchproc adv:match {nick host hand chan arg} { if {[string match "*$chan*" $arg]} { putserv "PRIVMSG $chan :do nothing" return 0 } putserv "PRIVMSG $chan :kick/ban" return 0 }

(ugly formatting preserved where possible :p)

Code 1:
bind pubm - {* *#*} adv:match

proc adv:match {nick host hand chan arg} {
if {[string match "*#*" $arg] && ![string match "*$chan*" $arg]} {
putserv "PRIVMSG $chan :do nothing"
return 0 }
putserv "PRIVMSG $chan :kick/ban"
return 0 }

Results:
[17:43] <@caesar> #channel
[17:43] <@bob> kick/ban
[17:43] <@caesar> #dsthdt
[17:43] <@bob> do nothing

Code 2:
bind pubm - {* *#*} adv:match

proc adv:match {nick host hand chan arg} {
if {[lsearch $arg "*#*"] != -1 && [lsearch $arg "*$chan*"] == -1} {
putserv "PRIVMSG $chan :do nothing"
return 0 }
putserv "PRIVMSG $chan :kick/ban"
return 0 }

Results:
[17:44] <@m|sk> #dsthdt
[17:44] <@bob> do nothing
[17:44] <@m|sk> #channel
[17:44] <@bob> kick/ban

What you sugest next? I have tryed some combiations but still nothing..

You meen to use: bind PUBM - {* *#*} adv:match and one of the lines you sugested? I shall test this..

bind pubm - * adv:match

proc adv:match {nick host hand chan arg} {
if {[string match "*#*" $arg] && ![string match "*$chan*" $arg]} {
putserv "PRIVMSG $chan :do nothing"
return 0 }
putserv "PRIVMSG $chan :kick/ban"
return 0 }

This dose the opus of the thing should do:
[21:17] <@caesar> #channel
[21:17] <@bob> kick/ban
[21:17] <@caesar> #dhsdt
[21:17] <@bob> do nothing

that's cause u have the wrong output
what that if command does is to check if # is used in $arg.. if it is it checks if the #... is the same as $chan.. if both match it will do nothing.. not kick/ban as u have set it to

If I change with: if {[string match "*#*" $arg] && [string match "*$chan*" $arg]} {

Reacts as normal should do, results:

[21:19] <@bob> kick/ban

[21:19] <@bob> do nothing

Then, with the if {[lsearch $arg "*#*"] != -1 && [lsearch $arg "*$chan*"] == -1} { line:

[21:21] <@caesar> #dhtr
[21:21] <@bob> do nothing
[21:21] <@caesar> #channel
[21:21] <@bob> kick/ban

As you can see, I'm in the same place I have started..

Code:

if {[string match "*#*" $text] && ![string match "*$chan*" $text]} {

this is a simple way to check if # is in the text and to check that it's not current channel beeing mentioned....
this is when dealing with $text

Code:

if {[lsearch $args "*#*"] != -1 && [lsearch $args "*$chan*"] == -1} {

^^use this one when u use $args
*note: this will never trigger when $chan is beeing said, even if some other chan is beeing mentioned in the same line...
