Sockread to hash table then write to file #189073 03/11/07 04:29 PM

I saw a post on here last night that had a snippet of code in it that would work perfectly for me but I've just searched for over an hour and can't find it so here is my problem: Code: I have an auto updater which does this: reads from online file and checks for version number if version number is greater then: get the whole file and write it line by line to a local file remove current script rename the local file to the name of the (now ex-) current script reload current script I have found that mIRC is freezing for anything up to 20 seconds doing this. I believe that grabbing the file down to a hash table then writing the hash table to a file would work a little quicker but I'm a bit stuck on how to put the info into the table and read it back out again. I want this: (e.g.) htable name: update items: 1 line 1 2 line 2 3 line 3 n line n etc... The only way that I can think of doing this is by using a global variable but tbh, I hate global variables! Any thoughts? (Sorry it's not more detailed with code snippets n stuff - I've got about 3 mins to write this before I go back to work)

Socketing to a HTTP port should still work, and write it line by line to a file. Something like this should work. Code: on :sockread:download: { sockread &s bwrite NAME.hsh -1 -1 &s } on :sockclose:download: echo -a Download: NAME.hsh finished!

A normal socket script should not freeze mIRC at all when writing the data to a file, then reloading the script with the updated version. It should be virtually instantaneous unless the page you're downloading is huge and then it's a matter of the time to download the file. There may possible be an issue with write speed if you're going to use the /write command on every line, but that's why there is /fwrite. Of course, you can also echo it all to a window and save the contents of the window to the file in a single write, or use binary as was also suggested. In any case, writing to a hash table would not make it faster. Last edited by Riamus2; 03/11/07 10:34 PM. Invision Support #Invision on irc.irchighway.net

I was thinking that it was a write spd issue coz it had to wait for the next line from the socket. I thought that writing to a hash table would then speed it up coz it already had the info there available. I have been educated EDIT: I've tried both /fwrite and /bwrite like this: (Sockread is read to %read which is then tokenized) 1: fwrite wcnconn2 $1- 2: fwrite -n wcnconn2 $1- 3: bwrite wcnconn2 -1 $1- 4: bwrite wcnconn2 -1 -1 $1- (have also tried $mircdir $+ wcnconn2 instead of wcnconn2) I have also tried replacing all of the "$1-" with "%read". Each time I get the messages: insufficient parameters or invalid parameters. Also, using bwrite caused a HUGE mIRC freeze. Last edited by Ish; 04/11/07 07:10 PM.

I used a custom window and then used aline @update $$1- to put the text in there then used filter -wf @update wcnconn2 to export it to a file and it works perfectly and only lags mIRC for about 4-5 seconds. A huge improvement on the 15+ seconds of lag that I was getting before. Thankyou one and all again and again and again! Last edited by Ish; 04/11/07 09:36 PM.

I've never had any freezes and I use sockets a lot. Code: on :sockread:sockname:{ sockread -f &read bwrite FILENAME -1 -1 &read } Or, to skip the headers... Code: on :sockread:sockname:{ if ($sock($sockname).mark) { sockread -f &read bwrite FILENAME -1 -1 &read } else { var %read sockread %read if (!%read) { sockmark $sockname 1 } } }
