 |
|
hi all, I admit.. I'm very tired and very flustered right now..
but I have discovered that a part of my script- which USED to work FLAWLESSLY.. however, now doesn't seem to work anymore.
I have tracked the problem down to a wildcard character * which has now become part of the string and not a wildcard at all.
further checking/testing revealed that ALL the other *'s throughout the code , as well, are no-longer seen as wildcards either!
so, whats SCREWY thing has gone wrong THIS time?
I have tried the installing the latest ver of TCL and its modules plus, I even recompiled the bot from scratch with no luck...
still doesn't work!
so, what have I done wrong/what has gone a-muck?
note:
I have since upgraded from FBSD 7.4 x 32 bit to FBSD 9.0 x 64 bit when I noticed this #%#@$ has broken!
for example, the following:
| Code: |
putlog "[catch {foreach T [glob warp_show-*.mp3] {;}}]"
|
will only return a result IF the filename actually is "warp_show-*.mp3"
its supposed to return a result of any file(s) which contain the string with a wildcard; example: warp_show-6-9-2013.mp3
also the script snippet:
| Code: |
if {(![catch {foreach VarA [glob "warp_show*.mp3"] {catch {exec rm -rf $VarA};};}])} {
putquick "NOTICE $nick :Archives deleted!";
} else {
putquick "NOTICE $nick :No archives to delete were found.";
};
|
will only delete the file named: warp_show*.mp3
these are just 2 examples.. theres even some code that the awesome NML375 did for me that now doesn't work either.

UPDATE:
I removed this post from its original place and moved it to this forum, sorry about putting it in the wrong place by mistake... OOPS!

this function was depreciated; it couldn't have worked (but, I tell you, before, it DID!).
I did have a 'solution'.. but, then the server was quickly taken out by hackers.. and I lost all the work before I could back it up..
I have to start over from scratch..
if I can remember EXACTLY what I had to do, and then, apply to the new work, to "get around the issue" I'll let you know. |

what was the issue again? the * is not treated as wildcard in glob?
