love me

wish i can just pull up one at a time it floods

dont wont works any more in 2015

cool script i recomend making it so only bot owner can add news....

You're*

otherwise nice script

Sorry... it works fine. My idiocy..

Thanks so much again!

This is great, and after modifying it some to work for my purpose, I have it -almost- working great! However, I'm having some struggles with getting to write new news to the text file. This is the modified segment of the code, but I dont think I changed anything important. Sorry I dont know how to insert code into here :(

n17= if (!problems == $strip($1)) {
n18= if (!$2) { .msg $chan Please specify the problem you're having. }
n19= if (!$read(problems.txt, w, $2- )) && ($2) { write problems.txt Problem reported by $nick on $fulldate $+ : $2- | .msg $chan Problem reported. Thank You. | halt }
n20= if ($read(problems.txt, w, $2- )) && ($2) { write -dw $+ $+ $2- $+ problems.txt | write problems.txt Problem reported by $nick on $fulldate $+ : $2- | .msg $chan Problem reported, Thank You. | halt }
n21= }

Sometimes the user gets a message "Problem reported, Thank You."
I also get "Problem reported by $nick on added to the text file but no data. Some help would be extremely appreciated! And thanks so much to Aucun for PunkTuRed for your work on this!

This looks great. I could use something similar to this for my bot but to be honest I dont have clue on how to change it.
would be great if you did
!news story
and it would search the document for the word / nick story and post just the information on that one only.

please have a look at what I could do with and see if you can help out. I really think this news bot (with a bit of a tweek) would work well.

no its pretty much channel only

if you would like a re-write, just say so and im sure Aucun will slap one together for ya tho

can i query the bot and add the news there instead of using the main?

useless really.... could just use a factoid script eg patxbot.tk or others.

champion tnx so much :-)

Fixed, thank you for pointing that out

cant get it to read all the news only reads the 1st lineof the news

just do you know i didnt test the !oldnews
write -c News.txt

The update was done 99% by PunkTuReD
And 1% from me copying it and pasting it :)

rewrite

on *:TEXT:*:#: {
  if ($nick isop $chan) {
    if (!addnews == $strip($1)) { 
      if (!$2) { .msg $chan Please specify some news for me to add. } 
      if (!$read(News.txt, w, $2- *)) && ($2) { write News.txt News item added by $nick on $fulldate $+ : $2- | .msg $chan News Added. | halt }
      if ($read(News.txt, w, $2- *)) && ($2) { write -dw $+ * $+ $2- $+ * News.txt | write News.txt News item added by $nick on $fulldate $+ : $2- | .msg $chan News Added. | halt }
    }
    if (!delnews == $strip($1)) {
      if ($nick isop $chan) { write -dw $+ * $+ $2 $+ * News.txt | msg $chan News Item Deleted }
      else { msg $chan Your Not Oped }
    }
    if (!oldnews == $strip($1)) { write -c News.txt | msg $chan All News Deleted }
  }
  if (!news == $strip($1)) {
    if (!$read(News.txt.txt, w,* $+ $2- $+ *)) { haltdef }
    if ($read(News.txt, w,* $+ $2- $+ *)) { .msg $chan $read(News.txt, w,* $+ $2- $+ *) }
  } 
}

Update coming soon.

you should point out that when using
!DelNews (Word to search for)

the word they are searching for needs to be the first word in the news

s scan for a line beginning with this word
w scan for a line containing this wildcard

if you change to w

make it

write -dw $+ $+ $2- $+ textfile.txt

6 from me

hmm by ur title i thought this was a real news bot that shows headline news storys. =/
anyways maybe add some flood pros to it.
