mIRC log review for bot.

**beeper** · Thu Jun 14, 2012 12:14 pm

I'll make this simple I'm looking for a script that will allow me to search the mIRC log files via the bot using a command like "!log <searchword>" and will display to chat, (one) line of text from any irc logs with that string.

Use:

		Code 			
$read(logfile,nw,*keyword*)	

**beeper** · Thu Jun 14, 2012 4:52 pm

		Code 			
on *:text:!look4 *:# {
<br />
  if ($nick isop $chan) {
<br />
    set %keyword $2
<br />
    msg # $read(logfile,nw,%keyword)
<br />
    unset %keyword
<br />
  }
<br />
}	

Something like this or do I need to define somehow all of the logfiles in $read(logfile,nw,%keyword)? There is a lot of files.

on *:text:!look4 *:#: {
<br />
  if ($nick isop $chan) {
<br />
    set %keyword $2
<br />
set %found $read(logfile,nw,%keyword)
<br />
    msg # %found
<br />
    unset %keyword
<br />
unset %found
<br />
  }
<br />
}

		Code 			
on *:text:!look4*:# {
<br />
  if ($2 == $null) {
<br />
    msg # You must enter a search string.
<br />
    halt
<br />
  }
<br />
  if ($nick !isop $chan) {
<br />
    msg # Only ops can use this feature.
<br />
  }
<br />
  else if ($nick isop $chan) {
<br />
    set %keyword $2
<br />
    set %found $read(logfile,nw,%keyword)
<br />
    msg # %found
<br />
    unset %keyword
<br />
    unset %found
<br />
  }
<br />
}
<br />
	

Maybe this looks a little better.

@beeper just so you know another way to do

if ($2 == $null)

is just

if (!$2)

the ! in coding usually signifies that the next string isn't provided, or isn't there.

		Code 			
<br />
on *:text:!look4*:#: {
<br />
 if ($nick !isop #) { msg # Only ops can use this }
<br />
 else { 
<br />
if (!$2) { 
<br />
  msg # You must enter a word to search for.
<br />
}
<br />
else { 
<br />
 set %keyword $2
<br />
 set %found $read(logfile,nw,%keyword)
<br />
 msg # %found
<br />
 unset %found
<br />
 unset %keyword
<br />
}
<br />
}
<br />
}
<br />
	

to me looks neater and is fairly easier. skips unnecessary checks. by unnecessary, I mean the ($nick isop #) check, as it first checks if they aren't op, then it looks at if they are, and if $2 isn't provided, then it checks if it is.

By the way, if you want to search for a string of text use $2- instead of $2

killerx, I'll suggest that you use the if-elseif-else, respectively, rather than insert a redundant else statement after the first if condition:

		Code 			
on *:text:!look4*:#: {
<br />
  if ($nick !isop #) { 
<br />
    msg # Only ops can use this 
<br />
  }
<br />
  elseif (!$2) { 
<br />
    msg # You must enter a word to search for.
<br />
  }
<br />
  else { 
<br />
    set %keyword $2
<br />
    set %found $read(logfile,nw,%keyword)
<br />
    msg # %found
<br />
    unset %found %keyword
<br />
  }
<br />
}	

you can unset as many variable values as you want horizontally, so you don't have to place another instance.

I'm looking at this snippet, but I get error

* /msg: insufficient parameters (line 11, script1.mrc)
line 11 is : msg # %found

there must be a file ''logfile'' otherwise $read does not find anything and %found = $null.
I think I need a control, both on the file exists and the existence of $2 in the file.
