Forums Scripts & Popups $read issues

I've had this script working before, although it has been nearly a year since I've played with the bot.

for some reason unknown to me I'm now getting " /describe: insufficient parameters" for this line:
on *:TEXT:*:#:{
if (*hug* iswm $strip($1-)) { describe $chan read(bawthug.txt) }
}


and:
"/msg: insufficient parameters (line 2, BawtWordResponses2.ini)"
messages when attempting to trigger remotes.

on *:TEXT:*:#:{
if (*cookie* iswm $strip($1-)) { msg $chan $read(bawtcookie.txt) }

}

I've checked the file name and it's fine and in the right directory.
Any help and or pointers would be greatly appreciated

From what i can see, the first line doesn't work because you missing the identifier in front of 'read'.



It'll work if the code is as above.

The 'cookie' code works, though i'd assume the problem is due to you having two on TEXT codes in one script.


}

Im not sure about your *.ini error, would have to see more of the code. And i'd suggest adding a trigger to the commands, or you'll have the bot preform 'hug' and 'cookie' each time that word is mentioned in the channel.

The ini error isn't really an error, but identifying the script name that the actual error is in. The actual error is, as you stated, that the $ was missing from the $read identifier
