* != ?

try to think, before posting .

*** MATCH CHARACTERS ***

Many of the bindings allow match characters in the arguments. Here
are the four special characters:

? matches any single character
* matches 0 or more characters of any type
% matches 0 or more non-space characters (can be used to match a single
word)
~ matches 1 or more space characters (can be used for whitespace between
words)

You're right about the first part matching every minute though

if you use * or ?? will be same ^^.
correct bind would be:
bind time - "00 ?8 *" mytime

(37) TIME (stackable)
bind time
proc-name

Description: allows you to schedule procedure calls at certain
times. mask matches 5 space separated integers of the form:
"minute hour day month year". minute, hour, day, month have a
zero padding so they are exactly two characters long; year is
extended to four characters in the same way.

bind time "** *8 *" mytime

I wouldn't do that as "*" will match 0 or more of any char you'll end up matching every minute if the day/month ends with "8". try "?? ?8*" instead

bind time "** *8 *" mytime

proc mytime {args} {
putserv "PRIVMSG #channel :This is a text that is posted at 8 & 18 o clock"
}

should work, for other times edit the time bind

other possibility : use timers

or : use a complete script, look for "time" in the tcl archive

Hello to all of the tcl coders out there! I am hoping someone could write a simple tcl script (I rather not be directed to a manual page, I sadly do not have the time to get into tcl now =/), or point me to an existing one. I want my bot to say a specific message two times a day (midnight and noon for example). Thank you VERY much for the help!. - tony
