Forums Scripts & Popups how would I go about...

getting a list of all the directories within a selected directory and have it output to a txt file?

/help $finddir
/help /write

thanks, I got that much down now. two questions though...

Update New {
//echo 1 $finddir(c:\New,*.*,0,write new.txt $1-)

}

that's the script. for some reason, I get a number echo'd in my active window when it's done. why is that? how can I stop it?

second, how can I strip the directory part from being written? ie, so instead of writing...

c:\new\this is a sample folder\

it would just write "this is a sample folder"?

I looked up "$strip" but that seems to just pertain to bold/underline/etc...

nevermind, got it, thanks.

.Announce new {
set %newest $read(c:\new\new.txt) $chr(124) $read(c:\new\new.txt) $chr(124) $read(c:\new\new.txt) $chr(124) $read(c:\new\new.txt) $chr(124) $read(c:\new\new.txt)
echo -a NEW: %newest
}

I'm having another small kink. How can I make sure it doesn't select the same folder twice?

/help if-then-else

how can I use an if-then-else in there? don't they have to be part of an "on" script?

not to mention, I don't really see how I could do that...

I mean, there are five different ones. am I supposed to compare each one to each previous one? there's got to be an easier way to do it than that

last simple question, now. if I have a script open a DCC chat, how can I message the DCC chat, and not the person's nick?

how can I strip the directory part from being written?

$nopath($1-) gives the file with no path.
$nofile($1-) gives the path with no file.

mazer, i think youa re asking the wrong question, you asked "how can i make it so it doesnt chose the same floder twice" when the question you wanted to ask is how would i make sure $read doesnt grab the same random like twice or more for the duration of the alias correct?

yeah, that's the question. and the answer is?

like this i suppose




that will read line 1 line two line three line for and line five in order mate...

and no... if-then-else statments are for when you need to check a condition against another condition to preform certain things

I'd prefer for them to be random, and not just "this line, then this line, etc" if it's possible.

any idea on my dcc chat question?

thanks for your help

As for the DCC chat, use /msg =nick message.

what happens if you use that before the connection is established?
