echo txt results to channel

[harry]

how can i make my eggdrop echo txt results to the channel?

[user]

Code: Select all

putserv "PRIVMSG #chan :<line of text>"

[harry]

so this

putserv "PRIVMSG #chan :<line of text>"

putserv "PRIVMSG #mychannel : test.txt"


?

i want the contents of a txt displayed to the channel
i havent tried this but first off i dont even know where i would put this command. so please be more discriptive, sorry and thanks

Ah, you should have specified that you wanted to echo a file's contents to the channel.

set contents [split [exec "cat test.txt"] \n]
foreach line $contents { puthelp "PRIVMSG #mychannel :$line" }

[strikelight]

or in a more generic fashion (ie. supportive of windrops)

Code: Select all

set contents [split [read [set f [open "test.txt" r]]][close $f] \n]; #borrowed from user ;)
foreach line $contents { puthelp "PRIVMSG #mychannel :$line" }

set contents [split [read [set f [open "test.txt" r]]][close $f] \n]; #borrowed from user
foreach line $contents { puthelp "PRIVMSG #mychannel :$line" }
