I'd like all users in the channel to be able to do a command like !latest and mybot to list the last 10 or so items i had added to it just via a simple /msg mybot add collection_of_samples.rar command. I assume it would just use a .txt file to store the additions ? I'm sure this wouldn't be the hardest thing to create to some of you guys and it would make my life complete!! Thanks for any comments in advance.

Please note that the .rar extension is normally allocated for a rar archive file, which is similar to a zip and contains multiple files. Code: on :text:add:?:{ .write $qt($scriptdircollection_of_samples.txt) $$2- } on *:text:!latest:#:{ var %lines = $lines($qt($scriptdircollection_of_samples.txt)) dec %lines 10 .play $iif(%lines > 0,-f $+ %lines) $nick $qt($scriptdircollection_of_samples.txt) }

However it does add the latest addition to the bottom of the text file and so reading it backwards and making the newest seem older, if you get what i mean ?!? Still great tho, would it be just as easy to get it to post the latest addition into a specified channel, say #ECHO-BASE ? and in bold text ? Awesome .. thx again.

Note that doing it this way will always display the text that is bolded in bold. Same thing goes with any and all other text control characters. As to having the information displayed in the channel, just change $nick in the /play line to the channel name. See /help /play for other details. Last edited by RusselB; 04/04/09 01:47 AM.
