Why doesn't this work? - mIRC Discussion Forums

I've been messing around with this code and even tried adding regex but it just won't give me the length of the video

Code:

on *:TEXT:!yt &:#: { 
  if ($sock(YTube)) .sockclose YTube
  set %link $2
  sockopen -e YTube www.youtube.com 443
}

on *:SOCKOPEN:YTube: {
  sockwrite -nt $sockname GET /watch?v= $+ %link HTTP/1.1
  sockwrite -nt $sockname Host: www.youtube.com $+ $str($crlf,2)
}

on *:SOCKREAD:YTube: {
  if (!$sockerr) {
    var %sockreader | sockread %sockreader
    tokenize 32 %sockreader
    if ($regex(%sockreader,/"length_seconds":".+?"/)) {
      echo -a $1
      unset %link
      sockclose YTube
    }
  }
}

i think you have a misplaced bracket for the sockerr statement

Code:

on *:SOCKREAD:YTube: {
  if (!$sockerr) {
    var %sockreader | sockread %sockreader
    tokenize 32 %sockreader
  }
    if ($regex(%sockreader,/"length_seconds":".+?"/)) {
      echo -a $1
      unset %link
      sockclose YTube
  }
}

also here's a debug-like version. you'll be able to see what point it gets to by the echo's.

Code:

on *:TEXT:!yt &:#: {  
  echo -a 1
  if ($sock(YTube)) .sockclose YTube
  set %link $2
  sockopen -e YTube www.youtube.com 443
}

on *:SOCKOPEN:YTube: {
  echo -a 2
  sockwrite -nt $sockname GET /watch?v= $+ %link HTTP/1.1
  sockwrite -nt $sockname Host: www.youtube.com $+ $str($crlf,2)
}

on *:SOCKREAD:YTube: {
  echo -a 3
  if (!$sockerr) {
    var %sockreader | sockread %sockreader
    tokenize 32 %sockreader
    echo -a error $1-
  }
  if ($regex(%sockreader,/"length_seconds":".+?"/)) {
    echo -a $1
    unset %link
    sockclose YTube
    echo -a regex
  }
}

EDIT:
i ran your script with LBr7kECsjcQ, and got these socket errors:

Your regex isn't correct. This will work

Code:

if ($regex(%sockreader,/"length_seconds":"(.*?)"/)) { 
      echo -a $regml(1) 
      sockclose YTube
}
