URL fetcher

By Lindrian on Feb 19, 2008

Website title fetcher by Lindrian
Simply paste into remotes and when someone says a URL it will trigger.
(You can't trigger it yourself, since there's no INPUT event.)

Enjoy! :)

Update: made it only trigger once on each website, so if you post the same website 10 times it'll only show info about it once.

Is there a way to make this return something like 'URL does not exist' when someone types a url for a website that doesn't exist?

At the moment it just does/returns nothing.

Oh, by the way - people can execute mIRC commands if the bot is sent to a website with commands in it, when it 'returns' the url, it executes the commands, so is easily abused.

alias -l mtc return $regex(web,$1,/(?:https?:\/\/)?((?:www\.)?[\w-.]+\.(?>[a-z]{2,4})(?![a-z]))([\w-_#?=%.\/&\+?]+)?/ig)

^use that on the mtc alias and this should fix your issue m8. (for it not working after a + that is)

Also, don't forget to fix this too or you'll get a lot of "'" errors etc.

alias -l ptc return $replacecs($1,&mdash;,-,&quot;,",&amp;,&,&lt;,<,&gt;,>,?,$chr(233),?,$chr(231),&ccedil;,$chr(231),&ntilde;,$chr(241),?,$chr(209),?,$chr(220),?,$chr(244),&#8220;,',&#8221;,',&#8217;,',&#039;,')

Thanks those fixed all the problems.

Though I wouldn't use this script, it downloads the title. I'd suggest using a socket to a url title site.

cptpan - Oct 11, 2012

There is an issue with this script. If the URL contains a + the bot doesn't return any of the url beyond that (and so breaks it).

How to fix, please?

I like the script a lot! But it doesn't recognize youtube urls, for some reason. Is it possible that might change at some point? :)

There is a little problem with it.

When in URL there is " , " it shows error (404 Not Found).

Then incase kids are in the room...

on *:TEXT:*:#: if (*whatsmyip* !iswm $1-) && (*porn* !iswm $1-) { rtc $chan $1- }
on *:ACTION:*:#: if (*whatsmyip* !iswm $1-) && (*porn* !iswm $1-) { rtc $chan $1- }

Great Work...

Actually I've came up with a fix for it with some help of friends on Gnet.

on *:TEXT:*:#: if (*whatsmyip* !iswm $1-) { rtc $chan $1- }
on *:ACTION:*:#: if (*whatsmyip* !iswm $1-) { rtc $chan $1- }

Also will return your IP is someone posts up http://whatsmyip.org
Might wanna add a blocker to that or code a halt...?

Thanks :)

Thanks. I knew I could change the on text part but was unsure if it would mess upi the rest of the script or not so I figured it best to ask the creator.

Keep up the good work.

Respond

Lindrian - Feb 23, 2008

You can simply change the on text event to this:

on *:TEXT:!url *:#: rtc $chan $2

Also updated the code slightly.

Respond

Scakk - Feb 23, 2008

I do like this. Could you possible make it where you need to trigger it instead of it happening whenever someone post a website. If people do not want the title of the website it could be annoying. However if people wish to know the title they could do so by triggering it.

*9/10 from me :)

No score yet :X?

I see your point, however, it would be nice to make this for personal use. Also, if this was created for a bot, I think that the author should state that in the introduction. :)

Respond

guest598594 - Feb 21, 2008

well, if it\'s an on text, and the bot echoed it, you wouldn\'t be able to see it

Respond

Ken - Feb 21, 2008

This is excellent! I found this to be very useful, and the coding is impressive.

I think you should make it optional between echo and a message. :(
