Plase this at the very top of the file, let alone the script.

Code:

lappend IGwords thislappend IGwords that

Create a new line, for each word you want to ignore, changing the obvious ("this" and "that") with your ignored words.

After this, place the following line, as the next line in the script

Code:

foreach _IG [uplevel #0 {set IGwords}] { if {[string equal -nocase $_IG [lindex [split $arg] 0]]} { return } }

this is the piece of script - basically I want to add a return line that will ignore specific words if typed in the channel in the format of !word - as I have another script that is clashing with this one...

bind pubm - "% !*" pub:quote

proc pub:quote { nick uhost handle channel arg } {
set [lindex [info args pub:quote] 4] [string trimleft [subst $[lindex [info args pub:quote] 4]] !]

so would something like this be right if the word I want to ignore is: fut

if {[string $arg]==fut} {
return 0
}

just add a if match in your proc.. returning 0 if it matches the other command

one more thing (again!) sorry...

is there a way to make the script ignore certain ! commands, as I have another script that uses a one word ! command, and it's triggering off the stock quote script ...

sorry this just came about now that the other problem is fixed!

The bind line quoted above is iucorrect, and causes too wider match.

change the bind too

Code:

bind pubm - "% !*" pub:quote

You will need to issue a ".restart" after doign this.

[16:49:50] testing!

I can't see any reason why the bot would quit, or make an error for that matter.

It's likely that this is not all that is needed.

However, through the majic that is Tcl, locate the line that starts "proc pub:quote" and make the next line

Code:

set [lindex [info args pub:quote] 4] [string trimleft [subst $[lindex [info args pub:quote] 4]] !]

When using the PUB type bind, the first word is the command, while the rest of the line are the arguments.

With the PUBM bind, the whole line becomes the arguments.

The code above, should in theory strip the ! from the begining of the line, and make the script operate as you intend it to.

On top, even if you go back to using the !q method, the above code will not affect it's use.

bind pubm - "* !*" pub:quote

this will match against all lines said in any channel starting with ! , replace the first * with #chan if you want to enable it in just one channel

hi

I use a stockquote script for my trading channel, where one of the commands is !q to get a quote. I've already cut the command down from !quote to !q, but I'm wondering if it's possible to have it so the user will just go ! (eg !msft). I've tried this myself by dropping the q, but you still have to put a space after the ! for it to work...any ideas?

here's the line from the script:

bind pub - !q pub:quote

Thanks!
