write to file problem

Code:

[open $filename "w"]

this will completely overwrite your file with the new information.

if i ask like this then, how do i remove a file ? i want all old data stored in the file gone befor i add a new line to it.. the fastest way would be "rm" i guess ? but i dont know the command for that true a TCL, the comman need to be sent to the shell.. since i know the name of the file, then all i need is "command for rm" file_name .

if you don't want to append, don't open the file in append mode. AND if you're not going to read from it, ditch that "+"

I want to replace the channel thats in the file, then over write it with a new channel or channels.. now if i add 1 more channel it ends up like:

#channel1
#channel2

but i want it to be only 1 line.. so if i type: .bchan #channel1 #channel2

then it write down the channels to the file bitchchannels.. and that file looks like:

#channel1 #channel2

and thats right, now i type: .bchan #channel3 #channel4

then the file will look like:

#channel1 #channel2
#channel3 #channel4

so it just add a new line, how would i replace the existing line with the new one? it should look like:

#channel3 #channel4

hope you understand

If you want to add a new channel, replace your variable which is set to the channel or the after the !trigger with the channel name. I am not sure which one are you talking about.

I don't think you would need to erase your database file as it has got nothing todo with it, you are just replacing the script to work on another channel.

I tryed your code, same result..

[12:13] Tcl error [set:sbch]: can't read "bitchchannel": no such variable

------------- EDIT ---------------

OK, i solved the problem, now to next part.. when i set a new channel, then i want the old one to be replaced with the new value, any way to do this ? or do i have to erase the file, then write a new one?

You haven't declared a variable named bitchchannel and yet you are using it in your proc and making it global. First:

set bitchchannel "i.am.lame"

Then try it!

And if you combine them it would be something like this, but you already have an error in your previous one so better fix that, before going ahead:

Code:

proc set:sbch {nick hand text} { global bitchchannel bitchchannels  if {$bitchchannel != ""} {   set r [open $bitchchannels a+]   puts $r "[strftime "%d %b %Y, %H:%M %z"]: $text"   close $r   putlog "Added $text to Bitch channel list."  }    return 0}

This is the error i get:

Tcl error [set:sbch]: can't read "bitchchannel": no such variable

but since the seccond "script" works ok, then the problem must be in the first one, chwr $channels <<-- thats the line i call the proc chwr with.. and if i remove that line, then the seccond script work just fine, it add the var as it should, and no problem..

I guess the best way is to combine the two scripts, but since i dont have a clue on how to do that i made them separate..

What error do you get while executing the first code? Type .tcl set errorInfo in DCC to check if there is an error after you have run the script.

Also make sure you have created the file which has the variable name $bitchchannels and it is in the correct directory as you have mentioned.

this is what i have so far:

Code:

proc chwr {text} { global bitchchannel bitchchannels   set data "$text" if {$bitchchannel != ""} {set r [open $bitchchannels a+]; puts $r "[strftime "%d %b %Y, %H:%M %z"]: $data"; close $r}    putlog "Added $text to Bitch channel list." return 0}

I know it's not right, but im new to this, so point me in the right direction, and i call the proc from this code:

Code:

proc set:sbch {nickc hand text} { global channels  set channels "$text" putlog "S-Bitch channel set to: $channels" chwr $channels}
