Sorting chanlist like mIRC

Well put stdragon, not even I thought of that.

That's why I'm the Revered One, and you're... well, the Revered One.

Well put stdragon, not even I thought of that. Twice I have attempted to create a filter commands, but been unsucessful. However, conversion (using string maps), should make the whole process easier, without having to convert before and after the sort, the mapping can take place on the fly using lsorts external sorter abilities.

Code:

proc mircsort {list} {  return [lsort -command mircsortproc $list]}proc mircsortproc {f s} {  set map [list \[ \250 \] \251 \| \252]  set f [string map $map $f]  set s [string map $map $s]  return [string compare $f $s]}

Use "mircsort" instead of lsort, and you should get a correct list back.

You only need to tweak and add to the mapping list, should any sorting changes be needed.

Hey I just had another idea. Why not convert the brackets and pipes to some invalid nick chars, that are higher than 'z'. For instance, ascii code 250, 251, 252.

hm... don't know if this is possible in tcl, but i thought, you put the nicks in a second list and sort the nicks in the second list in lower-case. and then with that list, you sort the original list (with capital letters).

Because for some user - like me - it is important to have so capital letters in their nicks. So I prefer -dictionary, there I only have some problems with brackets...

why dont you convert all nicks to lower-case before sorting them?

Well this script only would work if the second letters are NOT any of the special chars. So, I prefer using ASCII - the one error isn`t so bad - it would be much too difficult, to manage these right...

Well, after the list is sorted, you simply need to rearrange those sections of nicks. Something like:

Code:

set brackets [list]set pipes [list]set normal [list]foreach nick $nicklist {  set fc [string index $nick 0]  if {$fc == {[} || $fc == {]}} {    lappend brackets $nick  } elseif {$fc == "|"} {    lappend pipes $nick  } else {    lappend normal $nick  }}set nicklist [concat $normal $brackets $pipes]

(not tested)

This still doesnt fix the problem: I have a user called ][CBS][Merlin. This user is still reported before all other users. In the mIRC-List he is below all normal letters, but in front of Pipes...

-increasing also doesnt work, because capital letters where above lowercase letters. The Problem with OP and VOICE is no difficulty, the only problem is to get a list, equal to the mIRC list.

The lsort command support the -command option.

You would need to create a command to attach to this, to sort as you wish.

you have to add all the users to three different lists (assuming the server doesn't support % halfop, if it does you'll have to make four lists ) one for oped, one for voiced and one for normal users, then you simply do lsort -increasing $list on it. Finally you join the lists into one with op's on top, then voice, then normal users...

I want to write a script that sorts the chanlist like mirc does. The Problem is, that if i sort with -ascii, the its case sensitive. When i use -dictionary some brackets are in a wrong postiton, for example. mirc has the Pipe at the end, and [ or ] right before the pipes. With -dictionary the brackets are before all chars...

Is there a way to make the list like mIRC does...?
