closing file

[NewzUK]

Hi - I have a proc that uses lynx to dump a webpage into a text file, read a line to the channel, then close the file. However, I've tried several different ways to close the file but I either get an error message saying 'no such channel $file' or eventually it runs into the 'too many open pipes' problem.

Here's the end of the proc where I'm trying to close the file - if anyone has any ideas where this might be going wrong I'd be gratefull!

putserv "PRIVMSG $channel :7,7 1,15 $line1 "
}
}
catch {close $file}
}

hmm i don't think his question is in there .. tho

he wants to know how to check if a channel exists before closing it well u could check if the variable exists that could work maybe try this

Code: Select all

if {[info exists file]} {
  close $file
}

only the error message was the channel, but it's just the file I wanted to close, but found it on the page above - thanks
