I'm attempting to create a bot that will do a few things. I'm stuck on one thing.

When I type something like ?announce blah blah blah i want another client that i am configuring to relay it. The problem Im' having is that I can not find the correct variable to identify what was typed, this is what I have...

on *:TEXT:?announce DONT KNOW WHAT SHOULD BE HERE TO REPRESENT THE TEXT:#channel:/amsg DONT KNOW WHAT SHOULD BE HERE TO REPRESENT THE TEXT

Thanks in advance

What you're looking for are the $2- identifier(s)



A person types ?announce announcement here
The bot sends the message to all channels that it is in for that network. Note that this is only for a single network

That doesn't do anything

I wasn't able to test the code the first time, but this time I was. The problem is the usage of the ? in the command line



That will work, but you have to use the ! rather than the ?

I think the reason for this is because the ? acts as a single character wildcard in the match text events.

is there a way around that
lets say someone was really intent on using ?
could using $chr() go around that or is there no

just curious
also ? indicating a wild single character in macth text i would imagine would have made it work in more situations than desired rather than none but i guess id be wrong

I wasn't able to find a work around for it, and I also thought that it would work as you suggested, with the first character being irrelevant, but testing proved otherwise.

interesting.

on *:TEXT:$($+($chr(63),announce *)):*:{ .amsg $2- }

That should work for "?announce <one or more characters>", however i dont know if /AMSG is the desired command of course

I'm presuming that /amsg is the command they want, since that's the command they gave in the original post.
