I am using eggdrop 1.6.18. mIRCStats Eggdrop Logger 2.0 and Random Quotes add-on for mEL 1.6.0. The quote addon is sourced after mel. I get this error message:

Simply put, rq_data does not contain a valid list-structure, and is thus not usable with any list-commands.

The root of the problem is the file randomquote.tcl, where the author apparently does not know the difference between lists and strings, and have added some rough attempts to handle special characters, rather than implement tcl-lists properly. For this to work properly, the input files would have to be "sanitized" for any character(s) that may be part of list structures. As these are logfiles, that really is'nt an option.

The best option would be to rewrite the script to use strings and lists properly.

Not to brag, but the quote script I wrote handles tcl special chars properly, and implements pretty much every feature I could find in every other quote script (aside from "voting" for favorites) and a few new features to boot. It's in the archive under the name quotes2112 if you want to look at it.

ok thanks i will
But i want it to search in the logs i make with mel. So i don't know if that's possible with your script.

this one doesn't work like i want it to. I don't want to add quotes, I want it to return a random quote from a logfile. I think I am going to start and write it myself. It just needs to be something like:
command: !quote rvec
search for random line with <Rvec> in it.
random line found: [22:23] <Rvec> Hello everyone
return: Quote from Rvec: Hello everyone

I think I should be able to copy the "get random line from file" part from some other quote script. And i know how to do the rest.

oops

*feels stupid*

I just searched the one by stigmata to copy the part. And I found out I can easily change the file it reads from. I only need to delete the parts to add quotes. Thanks for the help
