Hi!

I have recently started .tcl and finding it fun to a certain degree..... How ever i have recently hit a block, google won't help and even search here didin't seem to help.

Is there anyway I can get my bot to select a random nick from the channel, and the put it in a PRIVMSG to the channel? (with other text and on command , but its just the grabbing the random nick that I need help with.)

Help appreciated =)

thanks heaps dwickie =) (was a missing ] though =o)

now i have had a quick look at the forums on how to choose a random setting from a list.

Quite obviously, to be honest, since the first character within randmsg is a newline. And since the irc-protocol is newline-terminated, this means the next few rows will be treated separate commands - not part of the privmsg. You probably want something like this:

Also, $randnick will be printed as is since it is being enclosed by {}.

I would still suggest building proper lists using the "list" command, rather than trying to create it by hand. (My example above also solves the problem with not evaluating $randnick.)
