whats the quicker way?

or


i have not tested either of these just wanted to know whats quicker and uses less system res's
cheers

iswm is faster than the loop.

i myself would use $regex in this case, you can specify many different words to watch for:

if ($regex($1-,/\b(word|word1|word2|word3|word4|word5)\b/gi)) { kick $chan.... }

the \\b parameter is used to match within word boundries only, you can remove that to match ANYWHERE withing text, which is the //g, and the //i signifies that match does not have to be case sensitive..... enjoy playing with that

How about this idea:

Create a text file called DirtyWords.dat.

*snot*
*booger*
*mud*
*filth*
*flatulence*

var %buckets = $int($calc($lines(DirtyWords.dat) / 10))
hmake DirtyWords %buckets
hload -n DirtyWords DirtyWords.dat

on @*:TEXT:*:#: if ($hfind(DirtyWords, $string($1-), 1, W) kickban $chan $nick So's yer mom!

var %buckets = $int($calc($lines(DirtyWords.dat) / 10))

Just out of curiosity, what does the 10 represent?

/hmake -s <name> <N>
Creates a new hash table with N slots.

A hash table can store an unlimited number of items regardless of the N you choose, however the bigger N is, the faster it will work, depending on the number of items stored.

eg. if you expect that you'll be storing 1000 items in the table, a table of N set to 100 is quite sufficient.

The -s switch makes the command display the result.

Ahhh thankyou. I am used to starting hash tables with .hadd -sm blah blah blah and it seems that I overlooked this way of doing it. Thanks again.

var %buckets = $int($calc($lines(DirtyWords.dat) / 10))
- Why not just include the calculation directly into the /hmake? Also, you'll want a "+ 1" in that $calc otherwise anything under 10 words will return 0.

on @*:TEXT:*:#: if ($hfind(DirtyWords, $strip($1-), 1, W)) kickban $chan $nick So's yer mom!
I take it "$string($1-)" was a typo and meant to be $strip()

Every second word, (the data (plus the odd word; *flatulence*) won't be found by $hfind(table,string,1,W)

[*] Just out of curiosity, what does the 10 represent?

The general rule of thumb I go by when "optimizing" (if you will) the number of buckets is the maximum number divided by 10...-ish. This is just a quick way to get near that value quickly because the number of lines in the file will be my "max" value.

This was a quickie thought I fired off the top of my head. There's nothing wrong with doing the calculation in the hmake, but as you suggested, you might want to make a minumum number of buckets (such as 10). Also, I assumed (bad, I know) that the file would contain LOTS of bad words/phrases, certainly more than 10. There are more than 10 just in English; multiply that times all the languages that are regularly spoken in your channels.

* Hammer blushes furiously at his typo. Yup, definitely a typo and meant to be $strip($1-)

From /help /hload

/hload -sbni <name> <filename> [section]

You can use -n to load or save files as data only, with no items. When loading with -n each line of data is assigned an N item value, starting at N = 1.

I have not tested this idea, I haven't even tried it yet. However, it SHOULD work like this.
where $hfind(htable, $1-, 1, W).data would search match the wildcarded data against $1-. If it finds ANY match, then a bad word has been detected.

Hm yep ok I missed the -n, fair enough :tongue:
"on @*:TEXT:*:#: if ($hfind(DirtyWords, $string($1-), 1, W) kickban $chan $nick So's yer mom!"
That doesn't specify the .data prop, and does have a missing parenthesis.

Geez. Three typos on one little line. I should retire. :tongue:
There might even be a way to put that $hfind() into the :matchtext: field; it's returning a wildcarded string that it would match. That would cut out the additional if (). Maybe something like

on @*:TEXT:$($hfind(DirtyWords, $strip($1-), 1, W).data):#: kickban $chan $nick I know you are, but what am I?

Wouldn't that be shweet! I don't have a clue if it would work though. (Typos or no typos!)

-> shweet! <-
It's good to be reminded about the -n switch, I've never used it, and forgot about it after reading it 'till this post
