write particular lines to .txt file - mIRC Discussion Forums

Hello,

I want to write all the lines containing [test] written by a user called 'bot' in #mybotchan written to a .txt file.
I tried to script it by using this forum but it doesnt seem to work.

Code:

on *:TEXT:*[test]*:#mybotchan:{
if ($nick == bot) {
  /write BOTDB.txt $1-
}
}

Anyone?

Thanks!

Are there colors, or bold/underline, in [test]? Does test always have []'s around it?

As a note, you never need /'s in a script.

Yes there are color's included, but i tried * so that shouldnt make a difference, yes there are always []'s around it.

try

Code:

 
on *:TEXT:*:#mybotchan:{
if ($nick == bot) &amp;&amp; ( $+($chr(91),test,$chr(93)) isin $1- ) {
  /write BOTDB.txt $1-
}
}

Best to use $strip with that...

Code:

on *:TEXT:*:#mybotchan:{
  if ($nick == bot &amp;&amp; $+($chr(91),test,$chr(93)) isin $strip($1-)) {
    write BOTDB.txt $1-
  }
}

yeah agreed, was having a brain fart there, was actually, and don't laugh, gonna do *[*t*e*s*t*]*

hmm it still doesnt work :S, i really tried everything.. Already created .txt file with that name, but it really doesnt write anything to it :S

Im really helpless now..

Try putting it on a new remote file. Maybe another On text event is conflicting with it.

Thanks that worked!
