Hi scripters,

I'm trying to make a script that splits a message into its' words and sends them to the channel.

Example:
<Fill> testing one two three
<Mr.Bot> testing
<Mr.Bot> one
<Mr.Bot> two
<Mr.Bot> three

Any ideas?

Something like this?

if i may join this thread and ask how to join the seperated words then?

exactly the opposite thing should be executed if possible:

foreach word i want it in one line again

wasnt sure if join does what it the name says ^^

Thanks, worked perfectly

Just as an aside, many ppl learning Tcl (me included, countless times) have made mistakes by assuming any text returned to a proc from a bind such as PUB can be treated as a list of words. It isn't. Scripts incorrectly treating this argument as a list will choke on special characters.

The following webpage (dealing with the proper use of split and join commands) is quite well known, and well worth a read.

wouldn't a [list $text] solve the problem?

Fill:
That depends on what you hope to achieve:
If you are trying to create a list with a single item, containg the whole of $text, that'll work ("lindex [list $list] 0" will return the whole content of $text).
If, however, you are trying to make each word within $text a separate list item, that will not work. Instead, you should be looking at split (Ie: "lindex [split $list] 0" will return the first word in $text).
