Forums Scripts & Popups not sending a blank line

Hi

I have a script that sends a particular line from a news text file, but sometimes the line is blank because the website slightly differs from time to time...

To make the script not send the line if it's blank, would something like this be correct?

if ($cbs == $null) return
else msg etc etc

thanks in advance...

if $cbs includes all of the lines text, then yet - that would work.

thanks acemiles_ed

Just to clarify:

or u could use

so would that make it not send a line if it's blank?

here's the whole script...

/cbs {
var %cbs = $remove($read(c:\CitiNews\news\cbs.txt, 33),[10],[11],[12],[13],[14],[15],[16],[17],[18])
if %cbs.last != %cbs {
set %cbs.last %cbs
/msg #NewsRoom 4 $mid(%cbs2,17)
}
}

cheers...

thanks again - seems to be working well now =)

actually - it's still returning an empty line to the channel when the line of news is blank. If it helps, the text file has [1] in the blank line between the lines of actual news - any ideas how I can get the script to not say anything to the channel if the line is this blank [1] line?

thanks again...
