Forums Scripts & Popups Quote System Help...

I have a quote system on my bot, where people can add quotes or what not, but i'm trying to figure out how you would stop it from adding the same quote twice. I'm sure you would use the if then else statment, and i've looked through the help file on that, and couldnt find anything that might help me with this, maybe i'm just missing somthing?


Is there a way i can stop people from adding the same quote, excluding the "added by $nick" because then the way I see it, it would have only stopped that nick, but in reality i need it from everyone. Please help if your willing..

try

code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
on *:TEXT:.quote*:#:{
if ($read(quotes.txt ,s, $2- ) != $null) { msg $nick Sorry Quote already added. | halt }
write quotes.txt $2- 12 Added By $nick $+ .
$read(quotes.txt, s, $2-)
msg # Quote Number: $readn added.
}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

**Note this is not tested and im on a pc i jus got so im tired from setting it up , but if it doesnt work right, /help $read
and u should figure it from my ex.

It works perfect, thanks
