Now i know this one works, this is my WIP tcl, but since I'm not fully sure if that old tcl I posted worked.. I figured I would share what I had up to this point. The code is rough on the !wiki and !review procs because it's far from final, but I am sure this works because I see it used everyday..

consider this unofficial, call it say 1.9.3 and get it below:
http://kiczek.com/ereader/UNOFFICIAL-incith-google-v1.93.tcl

tested on windrop, eggdrop v1.6.17 also on linux, eggdrop v1.6.18..
if you prefer madwoota's script, find it in the archive, this was just written as an attempt to learn tcl and make an already awesome script more gamer friendly.

I have loaded the tcl into mine eggdrop, I am using eggdrop v1.6.17, on Linux 2.6.17.11-grsec.

But somehow I cant get the script working
if I type !gamefaqs xbox in usa in the irc chan the bot won't do a thing ;(

any ideas what it can be?
do I need to chanset it first ? (i'm not using the google feature)

you need to:
.chanset #yourchan +google

afterall, the gamefaqs is incorporated, if you don't want certain functions working, look in the config section for "_results" and set those to 0 to disable them.

Thanks for the reply; it helped indeed.

Just thought I'd pop in to say, madwoota is slowly working on a new version of google, revamped and cleaned up, it's just taking some time, real life and all.

If anyone wants a version with !local searches working, you can grab my version which is based off madwoota last cvs: http://incith.incith.com/eggdrop/incith-google-icvs.tcl.gz

Regards~

[hello]

Hi guys

Any chance we could get on the !review game it have the platform also

like this

(nick) !review metal of honor xbox
(eggy) Sorry, no search results were found.(or if its not on that platform have it say game is not on this platform)

where u have to put what platform u want the review to come from and if u don't put a platform then it just takes the first one it see's and if no review the maybe do just the normal as I know some games do not come on
all the platforms.

Thanks for the great scripts

@incith and madwoota;
mad respect and I love the scripting style very very elegant (commented code is always nice to learn from). this unofficial stuff I wrote is by no means to replace your efforts, keep up the good work mates.

@hello;
The problem there is two fold. First off, gamespot doesn't let you search very easily. Right now to search, script just uses this:

Hi,
I'd like to 'delete' links given by "!google define" command, that is:

- !g define:eggdrop
- Eggdrop is a popular IRC bot. It was originally written in the December of 1993 by Robey Pointer to watch a single channel. It is written in the C programming language, and features an interface for scripts that allow the user to enhance the functionality of the bot. The language used in the script interface is Tcl. @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggdrop&usg=__th4rmhJ1-JzdBt8l8ehu_r1sHMk= (http://www.google.com/search?hl=all&q=define:eggdrop )

I want that links not to be displayed, I want just the definition, is it possible (and easy please ) ?

Thanks

[speechles]

Yeah.. I too have noticed that lately google is adding bullshit to the end of definition links, effectively breaking them.
I've spotted two useless url tags so far and removed them..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggdrop&usg=__th4rmhJ1-JzdBt8l8ehu_r1sHMk= (http://www.google.com/search?hl=all&q=define:eggdrop
here's the fix:

[Torrevado]

It works !!
Thanks speechles

[incith]

First solution to me would be to regsub the values in the html.. regsub -all {value="1029"} $html {value="XBOX"} html

*shrug*

Then you can just search for xbox..

I have trouble using !google when searching for an exact phrase, using quotes.

i.e.: !google "do quotes work with this new vers"

No reply in chan with this appearing in dcc chat:

[14:54] Tcl error [incith::google::public_message]: Illegal characters in URL path

Used to be able to use quotes in an earlier madwoota version, then on an upgrade they were broken, I can't remember which. I tried the speechles version and the same problem occurs. I've installed a fresh 1.6.18 copy to test this new script. Is it possible to fix this or change the script to allow " in the url?

Thanks.

[madwoota]

Hi, another bugfix release for incith-google (v1.8 series) - now at version 1.8.4.

From the changelog:
- fixed tracking rubbish after links on define: lookups
- fixed local lookups ... again
- fixed spell: from returning "0"
- added option to disable either weblink or google link on "!g define:"
- added stock quotes (try !g intc or !g amd)

Available here:
http://www.woota.net/~madwoota/incith-google-current.tar.gz

This incorporates the bugs & features from the last few posts, as well as a bunch of other junk I've fixed up along the way.


PS: I'm still working on a complete re-write of google which will incorporate a fairly substantial shift from a single (bloated/horrid/impossible to manage) script to a module based setup where you can (more) easily plugin alternate sites, addons, features, updates(!), etc. Hell, the scope creep is getting so bad the script is already doing all of its own maintenance for you

So, google 2.0. Its coming. One day.

Regards,
-madwoota

greats! I will be waiting for it...
btw, thanks for post here!
