Reading colored text?

Post by whoracle »

This is my first script so im totally new to this.

Anyhow, I try to make a script that will read certain messages (filter out from mainchat), and if it matches, copy a string from the message (not the whole message) and put it in a file. I think everything is done and working except that the script wont get any data when I try it in the real channel where parts of the message is colored. I have tried it myself with all black text and then it worked.

How should I specify the string that the script will look for?

"Thank you" is colored, and then it changes color to number 07. should it look like:

Code: Select all

bind pubm o "#channel *Thank you<\00307*" log:log
or:

Code: Select all

bind pubm o "#channel *Thank you<07*" log:log
as it says when i view the botchatthingy (./eggdrop -n)?

the same problem in this code:

Code: Select all

set checktext [string first "Points<\00315Filled:" $logging]
I have read, and searched but did not find anything. please help!

You can strip the text using the [stripcodes] command (read tcl-commands.doc) and then using [string match] to match the text.

[stripcodes] will work on 1.6.17 only

this will work on any eggdrop:

Code: Select all

regsub -all {([\002\017\026\037]|[\003]{1}[0-9]{0,2}[\,]{0,1}[0-9]{0,2})} $str {} str
(not on ANSI colors though, but those aren't used much on IRC anyway)
connection, sharing, dcc problems? click <here>
before asking for scripting help, read <this>
use

Code: Select all
