anyone know why it won't show how long ago the ban was set?

if $numeric == 367 { echo -a $bit [ $+ bans $+ ] [ $+ $3 $+ ] [ $+ $4 $+ ] [ $+ $dur($calc($asctime($5))) $+ ] | halt }

thanks.

$dur($calc($asctime($5))) $+ what are you $calculating?

all i want to know is..
-- [bans] [*!*@tynsaypapszm] [yewn1x] [how long has this ban been set]

ie; set 1hr 2mins ago

This should work

[ and ] wont work as characters there, so use $chr(91) = [
and $chr(93) = ]

Hope it helps,
Zyzzy.

$duration($calc($ctime - $5))

Change the $asctime for what Iori posted

I misread the question. :P

--- [bans] [*!*@tynsaypapszm] [yewn1x] [-987secs]
that's about 10 secs after typing //mode #blah +b

I tested them here. Both with $asctime and $duration worked fine.

Instead of all those $chr()s you can use

echo -a -- [bans] $+([,$3,] [,$4,] [,$duration($calc($ctime - $5)),])

echo -a -- [bans] [[ $+ $3 $+ ]] [[ $+ $4 $+ ]] [[ $+ $duration($calc($ctime - $5)) $+ ]]

i'm affraid it doesn't work for me, not quite sure why, just checked it again, and it shows -151 secs

Paste this in your remotes and see if it works. Maybe it was some copying and pasting common mistake

Dont forget to erase the other code.

lol trust me, it doesn't work
1 thing i noticed though, in the channel central it show the ban was set at 5:51pm, yet the time was only 5:47pm
soon as it passed 5:51pm, //mode #blah +b show the duration after 5:51
so i'm guessing this could be a server based problem

Oh, could be.. I'm not an IRCd/Server expert though :P

Good luck

Zyzzyx.

For sure it is. The server is sending the wrong value, probably it's clock is way out. :tongue:
Type /time and see what the server replies with.

10:23:10 AM Pacific Standard Time

Err; I meant for you to compare that result against a known (reasonably) accurate time.

Not knocking your replies to my question, but none of them worked.
i tried this instead

$duration($calc($ctime - $5))).ctime

and it works fine

Well that definately is odd, you have a parenthesis mismatch and $duration has no .props. Guess if it's working out then all is well....
