Forums Scripts & Popups Welcome text on first time chat

I know moobot has this option but I want to implament it on my bot.

On know there would have to be a on join code and a write to text or ini to store the user name but past that i have no idea.

basicly what i want to do is have my bot say:

Welcome to chat $nick glad you could join!

but not everytime they join but only on the first time they ever chat in my twitch. Anyone help?

Very basic if statement using some kind of storage, in this case a simple /write and $read using txt files..
/help if then else
/help /write
/help $read

Like Nillen pointed out, you can add code to your on join section of the code. The way I would do this would be to have the bot write each new person's name to a txt file when they join. Have the bot check first to make sure the name isn't already on the list before adding. If the person's name isn't on the list, then give the welcome message AND add them to the list so that on their next join they won't be greeted again. Something like:

I left out the most important thing. For the bot only to give this msg when they type anything. So i want it to be triggered when they type a message for the first time. Thats where i am stumped. i know how to do it when they say a certain word but not any word
