I am writing a script that is supposed to search trough a file on the server and check if a string given by the user exists in it, if so, it should output it. So far, with the help of greenbear on IRC I got this:

Code:
      set query [lrange $text 1 end]
      set query [string map {" " "\*"} $query]
      set srcdb [open users.txt r]
      set data [read -nonewline $srcdb]
      close $srcdb
      set lines [split $data "\n"]
      foreach line $lines {
          if {[string match -nocase "*$query*" $line]} {
             putmsg $chan $line
          } else {
          }
      }


However it does not output any results even if I try it with a query I'm 100% sure is in the database. What am I missing here ?

2 questions:
- why do you use lrange? it looks pointless in your script, since it a) uses a list operation on a string and b) ignores the first entry. esspially the functionality b) could be the cause of your "little problem" Wink.
- why do you escape the *? there is no need to Very Happy. Another tip... if files always have 1 "whitespace" character, you might want to use ? instead of * depending on the exactness the result should be Very Happy.
