Right now, I have my bot set up to message chat when I get a new donation automatically. What I want is for each donation I get to add to a total. So, if someone donates $10 it'll show as such: BOT: DONATION! username [$10] BOT: WHATEVERGOALHERE [$10/$50] and then if someone else donates like $2 or whatever it pops up basically the same only automatically updating to [$12/$50] without me having to go in and do it manually. The problems I've come across is, the way I track and alert the chat with a donation has the "$" in the file itself. Therefore I can't just add it without $ messing with any script I've tried. Any help would be appreciated. For the purpose of helping me out here is the donation portion of the monitor script I have... Code: else if (%1 == C:\Users\myusername\Documents\donationfoler\recentdonation.txt) { msg # /me NEW DONATION$read(C:\Users\myusername\Documents\donationfolder\recentdonation.txt) } obviously I'll have to add another Code: ;add that donation to total towards goal msg # WHATEVERGOAL: $chr(91) $+ $read(whatevergoal.txt) $+ / $+ $chr(36) $+ 50 $+ $chr(93) Any help towards this is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I've decided that for now I will use just a menu option to edit it manually. I can get it working to just overwrite the old file (obviously) but what I can't do is get it to $calc correctly. Here's what I've tried... Code: .Add to GOAL : /write -c GOAL.txt $calc($read(GOAL.txt, t) + $2) $$?="Enter Amount:" \| msg $chan /me GOAL: $chr(36) $+ $read(GOAL.txt, t) $+ / $+ $chr(36) $+ 60 Now, with this one it only over writes the last input amount. for instance: ME: (add's 5 to the amount) BOT: $0 5/$60 ME: (add's 15 to the amount) BOT: $0 15/$60 As you can see, it leave's "0" there and doesn't $calc anything at all... I tried this as well after looking around on the forums, but it did the same exact thing... Code: write -11 GOAL.txt $calc($read(GOAL.txt,0) + $2) $$?="Enter Amount:" Last edited by Bramzee; 18/10/14 02:50 PM.

Unless you specifically want the text file to contain mSL code, you should make a habit of using -n when using $read to prevent abuse. Last edited by Belhifet; 19/10/14 01:01 AM.
