On first pass i changed it to this...

Code:

 
on *:TEXT:!friendsnick:*:msg $chan $nick Too add your nick and realname too my friends list just say this !addnick &lt;realname&gt;
;
on *:TEXT:!addnick &amp; *:#:{
  if ($read(friends_nicks.txt,ntw,$2 *)) { 
    notice $nick You have already entered your realname on my nickname list as $gettok($v1,2-,32) $+ .
  } 
  else { 
    write friends_nicks.txt $2 $3-
    msg $chan $nick Your realname has been recorded under the $nick $+ . 
  } 
}  
;
on *:JOIN:#:{
  if ($nick == Hazza) {
    msg $nick you have been selected to add your nickname to my friends list
    msg $nick add your nick by typing !friendsnick hopefully it all works :P
  }
}

* code is untested

But without knowing what exactly its ment to do, i dont even know if its going to do what you expected.

thanks that works but now its going a bit more complex can you make it where i type /friendsnick and it opens all the peoples nicknames and there real name in like a hash table or something

i'm not sure if this is a problem but ($2) isn't checking against anything.

$2 doesnt need to be checked against anything he can just check if it exists with ($2), however it HAD to exist as he was using :!addnick *: as his matchtext so it must have existed for the event to trip.

Code:

on *:TEXT:*!friendsnick*:*:echo -a too add your nickname too my friends list just say this !addnick &lt;yournickname&gt; &lt;realname&gt;
  ...
  if ($2 != $null) &amp;&amp; ($read(friends_nicks.txt,s,$2)) { 
  elseif ($2 != $null) $read(friends_nicks.txt,s,$2)) &amp;&amp; ($2) { 
  ...

Still echoing on first event.
these are the big problem "$read(friends_nicks.txt,s,$2)" the help file isnt really clear but lets assume you have a file as follows
--- file.txt ----
first line is this
middle line is here
last line of the file
--- file.txt ----

//echo -a ' $+ $read(file.txt,nts,middle) $+ '
'line is here'

//echo -a ' $+ $read(file.txt,ntw,middle *) $+ '
'middle line is here'

When using the ,s, option it locates a matching line and displays the REMAINING text of that line, sometimes this is nothing and gives a false $null for not found, not good

alias friendsnick { run notepad freinds_nicks.txt }

thanks worked like a charm
