Caesar, don't worry
We all make mistakes sometimes, our brains are working too much.
But we can't do anything against that, it's the trouble that know any genious

lazy? his worked and yours didn't so I'd ask myself who is the lazy one

i think he meant himself.

...at least i hope so
@caesar: hmm... how long ago is it that you read that topic about "using list commands on strings" last time?

Code:

if {[lsearch -exact [string tolower $url] "reuters"] != -1} {# it matches..}

why not using string match -nocase *reuters* ? isn't $url a string?

http://abcnews.go.com/wire/World/reuter ... 08_26.html

[11:31] (caesar): .tcl set url "foo bar reuters moo" ; if {[lsearch -exact [string tolower $url] "reuters"] != -1} { putlog "bla" }
[11:31] (Toy): [11:31] bla
[11:31] (Toy): Tcl:

As you can see is working fine at me.. probably your $url is not good or something..

Also, I've tryed that link and got an "Sorry. This content is not available. We apologize for the inconvenience." msg from that page..

thanks caesar

it dosn't seem to be catching the word, and is returning the news in the 'else' format everytime even if reuters is in the URL...here's the part of the script:

### Compair the both hashes, announce news if they differ and create new datafile.
if {$newhash != $oldhash} {
if {[lsearch -exact [string tolower $url] "reuters"] != -1} {
abcmsg "4,4 1,15 [gettime -5]ET $title - Reuters "
abcmsg "4,4 0,14 » http://abcnews.go.com$url "
} else {
abcmsg "4,4 1,15 [gettime -5]ET $title - AP "
abcmsg "4,4 0,14 » http://abcnews.go.com$url "
}
}

Here's an example of a url with the word in it:
http://abcnews.go.com/wire/World/reuter ... 08_93.html

that's the one I want it to send the first msgs in - if reuters isn't in it then I want it to send the other...

thanks again.

Hi

I'm trying to modify a script so that if the word reuters is contained in $url it will msg the channel one thing and if not, another.

This is what I've come up with but I don't know if 'isin' is valid in TCL like it is in mIRC scripting...

if (reuters isin $url) {
puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :12,12 1,15 $title - Reuters "
puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :» http://abcnews.go.com$url" }
else {
puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :12,12 1,15 $title - AP "
puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :» http://abcnews.go.com$url" }

Thanks in advance...
