Well, as the topic says when i want to use a month in the bind, nothing happens...

bind time - "15 19 29 * *" test:test <- works
bind time - "15 19 29 9 *" test:test <- does not work
bind time - "15 19 29 09 *" test:test <- does not work

How come ? Am i doing something wrong ?

Yeah. And once someone decides to fix it you will have to undo it again

If you use [clock format [clock seconds] -format %m], you will get a number between 01 and 12.

Now it says

Code: Select all

 Tcl error [test:test]: "09" is an invalid octal number

Yeah, you can not do [expr 09 - 1]. Strip off the leading "0".

&"%#%¤!"#%"&¤
I thought that the string would get short

Code: Select all

set variable [expr [string trimleft [lindex [split $testdate {-}] 0] 0 ] - 1]

With [expr [rand 10] +1] will be a *random* number from 1 to 10.

Ehm, sorry but i don't need random numbers

But now i'm in trouble again

Code: Select all

bind time -|- "21 20 29 8 *" test:test <- does not work
bind time -|- "21 20 29 08 *" test:test <- works

man.. bind time is such an incompatible piece of junk it isn't funny...
somewhere along the line, eggdrop developers decided to pad the arguments (month/minute/hour/day/year) with 0's, breaking other scripts, and causing backwards compatibility issues with previous eggdrop versions....

My opinion, scrap bind time altogether so no1 touches it =\
