Hi,

I've got my DLL working using $com and it gives me the weather information for the zip code I give it, but I'm also getting this line in the status window:

1 Unknown command

Any ideas what's doing that or how to stop it? My remote is this


I'd also like to format the text in the result so that the "data types" words are bold and in green, and my mind isn't coming up with it right now. A sample output of how it is now would be:

Temp: 51 Feels Like: 51 Conditions: Cloudy Wind From: NE at 3MPH Gusting to N/A MPH

I'd like the words like "Temp:" and "Feels Like:" to be bold and green. How do I separate the output and just bold and color the "titles"? Thanks.

For the 1 unknown command, I suggest you look elsewhere, as there's nothing in that script that would produce that error. Check the exact message that comes up, as it's an unknown command error, it should indicate what script and line it's coming from.

Regarding the bold & green highlighting, you'd have to pull those words out of the results that are returned, then put in the bold & green highlighting before displaying the information to the channel.

Actually that error doesn't say what line. It's white text too, not red like the usual error messges that have line numbers. I'm thinking it might be one of the $com lines in that script, since some things with $com return a 1 or 0 depending on if they were successful, and the 3 parameter in the one line tells mIRC to process the result (I think). I'll have to play with it some more, and maybe I can use a different method number to get rid of that problem. Thanks for your help. How would you suggest putting the bold and green in? I was thinking of tokenizing the result and running each word through "if" statements. Would that be the best idea? Thanks.

Store the output in a var and use replace?

The line $com(weather,GetWeather,3,bstr,%zip) is an identifier, it is replaced by its result aka 1 = ok, 0 = fail., the 1 (or 0) is then looked at as a command, is not found locally so sent to the IRC server for remote command checking, this finds no command "1" so replies with "1 Unknown command"... solution !.echo -q $com(weather,GetWeather,3,bstr,%zip)

And for the 2nd problem the line msg botserv say $chan $com(weather).result can be replaced with [b]msg botserv say $chan $replace($com(weather).result,Temp:,3Temp:,Feels Like:,3Feels Like:)

Thanks for the help. That worked for the "unknown command problem. As for the color problem, I decided to just handle it at the DLL level. I made the changes in the DLL code to make it bold and blue. I went with blue instead of green because it was easier on the eyes. A sample line looks like this now:

yeah i know, but untill 6.17 comes out with a bugfix on other things, im gonna leave it using a method I know works

heres another one i seen... (just for sag)

$iif( $com(weather,GetWeather,3,bstr,%zip) ,)
