For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
I need help with tcl

Posted by FireFox (FireFox), 27 August 2003
I have a file that has multiple data for a subject and i need to get all instances of the data. But my statement only gives me one instance. etx. note1, note2 and so on.

set desc [getuser $user XTRA note]

I think I should be using  lindex , but not sure how to use it.

Hi, Welcome ....

getuser is a new command on me - and I can't find it in my Tcl nor my expect - perhaps it's a proc that's defined somewhere else in your program?   If you can tell me a bit more about it, I might be able to help ....

Hi, its in the doc folder ,tcl-commands.doc that is installed with eggdrop

getuser <handle> <entry-type> [extra info]
|   this is a generic interface to the new generic userfile support, it

OK - you've given me a clue there.   Tcl is a language that's often embedded in applications to provide tailoring, and you're using it within the eggdrop Open Source IRC bot.   I don't have this piece of software installed on my machine, and it seems from the brief description that you posted that it's quite a high level routine (I guess this from the name of the parameters).   Tricky to help unless I download, install, learn more about eggdrop and (sorry) I don't have the time ....

BUT ... are you telling me that the desc variable ends up with a space separated list of words that you want to process one by one?? If that's the case, I can write you a couple of paragraphs on writing an appropriate loop, as getuser would be a side issue.

What I'm trying to do is capture all the note info that assigned to a user. this just gives me the first note
set desc [getuser $user XTRA note]

the file is structured like this

user
XTRA note1
XTRA note2
XTRA note3
and so on

Sadly (because I don't know getuser), I think that the answer lies in how getuser is called - perhaps you need to call it twice, perhaps you need to modify the XTRA to some other name or have note being something other than plain text.  If you would like me have a deeper look I've not got the time to install eggdrop and learn it, but I could go through the getuser manual page - please do NOT post it here unless the copyright terms on eggdrop allow it, but do email me a copy of the approapriate page.  My email is graham@wellho.net
