I've used puts a fair amount of times, not once has it cause this.
I get no error at all; the file exists, all the variables it needs exist and contain the right contents; but the file just doesn't get written to.

combining different things seem fine in order to shorten code and make it a bit faster, but definately hard to read - even if you are looking for an error.

my guess:

the channel which is being opened up with open isnt being closed, maybe you also would like to put in putlogs after each line to see where it stops working, explode the following part into different lines:

Just to confirm raider2k's suspicions; since you don't close the file, the output will never be flushed to the file, as tcl buffers file operations by default.

Further, invoking this proc over and over will "leak" file handlers, up until the point (usually around 1023 file handlers) where you have exhausted the available resources, and your eggdrop will be unable to open any other files or network connections.

Tcl does not come with a garbage collector, so you'll have to take the effort of keeping track/cleaning up your resources such as file handles and sockets yourself. The only cleanup done is the anonymous namespace of the proc itself (local variables will be removed as the proc ends).

Yeah... still not working. Same goes for another script of mine, too. Should be simple, but noooooooooo....

[nml375]

Should work like that, assuming you havn't already opened $::satielfile for writing without closing it earlier.
