credits for this code go to ppslim, slenox and all the others in the "backup array" thread

An alternative way would be to write it to the file as tcl code creating the array and just 'source the.file' (making the loading a bit faster I imagine) Where's that thread btw?

Edit: here's some generic code for variable storage:

Code:

# usage: var2str  ?output name? ?pretty array boolean?# the pretty array option is to choose between 'array set' or multiple 'set's for arrays with one or more elementsproc var2str {var {name {}} {prettyArray 0}} {if {$name=={}} {set name $var}if {[set var [uplevel 1 [list namespace which -variable $var]]]==""} {error "No such variable "$name""}upvar 1 $var vif {[info exists v]} {if {[array exists v]} {if {$prettyArray&&[array size v]} {foreach {ele val} [array get v] {lappend out [list set ${name}($ele) $val]}join [lsort -dict $out] \n} {list array set $name [array get v]}} {list set $name $v}} {list variable $name}}# usage: storeVar   ?file access mode?proc storeVar {var file {mode w}} {set f [open $file $mode]puts $f [var2str $var $var 1]close $f}

to backup an array:

Code:

proc write_array {name file} {   set fp [open $file w]   puts $fp [uplevel 1 [list array get $name]]   close $fp }

to restore the backup:

Code:

proc read_array {name file} {   set fp [open $file r]   uplevel 1 [list array set $name [read -nonewline $fp]]   close $fp }

Using arrays will save them in memory ONLY if you restart the eggdrop, not kill it.

A restart makes a fresh tcl interpreter (so everything is lost). I think you meant 'rehash'

Using arrays will save them in memory ONLY if you restart the eggdrop, not kill it. To save an varialbe you must save it to disk as user said.

Because saving them would make little sense in most cases. If you want a value stored you'll have to do it yourself

why when i closing the eggdrop, and reopen it the eggdrop clears all the variables?
