Ok, im trying to program commands into my bot, but i've only been able to get !ver because it doesn't run a second word.

when i say... !Kick JohnDoe
is there a way i can have my bot pick up the !Kick without the JohnDoe.

Help me out plz

[Kp edit: gave him a new title, then kicked him out of botdev. His question is about basic text parsing, which belongs in the forum of his language of choice.]

You need to ***LEARN VB!***

And don't say you do, this is a trivial task.

Hint: use Split()

I might be able to put together ban.exe :P

Yes, Split, Join, Choose, and Switch are all excellent useful VB functions for text processing. Learn them all!

Mid$() and InStr() are also essential.

I use Right() and Left() a lot.

Lcase = and Rcase =

Ever since discovering regex, I can't go back.

Don't forget UCase!

Might want to look up the 'if' statment aswell, since you will probably use that quite often.

And Split() can be helpful sometimes.

if lcase(message)="!kick" & name then
csb.send = "/kick" &name

Assuming you are using csb and have name defined as a string

(I have no idea what you are asking but this seemed like it)

This regex should do it for you:

%c(\w+?)\s*?(.*?)

And sub in your trigger for %c. Command name will be group 1, args will be group 2.

[Let us assume that the thread starter was referring to Visual Basic!]


[quote author=Forged link=board=31;threadid=8465;start=0#msg78994 date=1094272724]
if lcase(message)="!kick" & name then
csb.send = "/kick" &name

So, we would have to look at this assuming the variable "name" is declared as a sectioned part of the message? For instance, if I wanted to extract "Forged" from ".kick Forged", and I set up a control flow statement to extract "name", it's going to give some goofy error. You'll need to have something to the effect of...
[code]
Public name as String


If LCase(message) = someTrigVar & "kick " Then
name = mid$(message, 6) 'Extract all text from the 'message' variable starting from position 6; can be reused so long as the variable receives a new value per action
WhateverObject.Send "/kick " & name
End If
[/code]
