split is a list command. It operated on strings, and converts them into lists. These brackets are used to designate the begining and end of a item within a list.

As you have done, you have split the string, using |.

You can then use the "join" command to convert from a list, into a string. Again, you need to specify a charater, you use as a joining character. If you where to use a |, it would return your original list (to show how it works). You can use " " (including quotes) to join it with a space.

Notice the {} at the end of the list. This is because you have a | at the end of the string. To get around this, you can use "string trim" to remove the end white space that "join" will generate.

ok, never mind, that, lol. i've gotten that solved.

but now i'm at another question:

i have an output of this

Code:

11/18/02|Cooking Master Boy|17|Anime-Keep|

and after i do [split $list |]

i get this

Code:

11/18/02 {Cooking Master Boy} 17 Anime-Keep {}

how do i make it display just 11/18/02 Cooking Master Boy 17 Anime-Keep?

ok, i'm using this code to grab text from a remote text file

Code:

package require http set cmd "!updates" bind pub -|- $cmd test proc test {nick uhost hand chan text} {   putquick "NOTICE $nick :let's hope this is faster"  set tok [::http::geturl "http://www3.telus.net/dekan/newrlsd.txt"]  set data [::http::data $tok]  foreach z [split $data \n] {    putquick "NOTICE $nick :$z"  }  ::http::cleanup $tok }

and the text file contains

Code:

11/11/02|Knights of Ramune (DVD)|01|Perfect-Anime|11/12/02|Asagiri no Miko|07-08|Elite-Fansubs|11/13/02|Southern Cross (DVD)|13-15|ILA|11/18/02|Urusei Yatsura (DVD)|1-4|ILA|

i want the bot to parse this output to only display the line if it matches a certain date. like today is 11/18/02, how do i make the bot display only the 11/18/02 line?
