I am working on sending out numbers along with the output on a mervbot plugin.

A file looks like this:
BDwinsAlt:event:Agurus
BDwinsAlt:sne:Agurus

I have everything setup and all except numbering the output as it goes.
Since it searches for SNE and EVENT I have two if statements. I need it to number something like

1. 250 bounty + prox (given by Agurus)
2. 500 bounty + prox (given by Agurus)

It is called by a text file in a prizes folder. Each player has their own file name. I need it to be able to identify a line by it's line number in the text file. I also need it to delete that line when they get the prize. Example: !prizeme 2, would delete line 2. All help is appreicated. I need to have this done by Saturday for Agurus.

Also I will be working on a 7 day experation date. So I need help writing time to a string and reading it to see if its past 7 days and erasing it if it is.

If you load each line into an array, then the array index will match the line number. You would have to resize the array as you go or limit the number of prizes that can be stored.

Also for a timestamp, use something like time(NULL), that will return a number in seconds, no point writing it out as something like "Thursday 31st February 2005" and then trying to read that back in later.


Edit: typo.

Thanks Smong. I'll give it a try.

Hmm I seem to still be having some trouble. Can you give me a basic example please? I'm usually writing in Java so this is a turn around for me.

Edit: My code is

Code: Show/Hide                int a = 0;                for(int a = 0; a < 10; a++)                {                if(player == pname)                {                   /////////////////////////                   if(prize == "SNE" || prize == "sne" || prize == "Sne")                   {                      sendPrivate(p, int (a) + " 500 bounty + 2prox ");                      }                   if(prize == "EVENT" || prize == "event" || prize == "Event")                   {                      sendPrivate(p, int (a) + " 250 bounty + prox");                   }                   }                }

I get this...

Code: Show/Hide BDwinsAlt> !listprize    BDTEST1>  250 bounty + prox    BDTEST1> 250 bounty + prox    BDTEST1> 50 bounty + prox    BDTEST1> 0 bounty + prox    BDTEST1>  bounty + prox    BDTEST1> bounty + prox    BDTEST1> ounty + prox    BDTEST1> unty + prox    BDTEST1> nty + prox    BDTEST1> ty + prox    BDTEST1>  500 bounty + 2prox    BDTEST1> 500 bounty + 2prox    BDTEST1> 00 bounty + 2prox    BDTEST1> 0 bounty + 2prox    BDTEST1>  bounty + 2prox    BDTEST1> bounty + 2prox    BDTEST1> ounty + 2prox    BDTEST1> unty + 2prox    BDTEST1> nty + 2prox    BDTEST1> ty + 2prox

You could try formatting your string with sprintf, it would be something like (don't quote me on this because im just going off the top of my head)

Code: Show/Hide sprintf(buf, "%d. 500 bounty + 2prox", a); //where buf is the char* it will be located

Code: Show/Hide char * buffer;                if(player == pname)                {                   /////////////////////////                                  int a = 1;                   if(prize == "SNE" || prize == "sne" || prize == "Sne")                   {                   sprintf(buffer, "%d. 500 bounty + 2prox", a);                   a=a+1;                      sendPrivate(p, buffer);                   }                   if(prize == "EVENT" || prize == "event" || prize == "Event")                   {                   sprintf(buffer, "%d. 500 bounty + 2prox", a);                   a=a+1;                      sendPrivate(p, buffer);                   }                }

Results....

Code: Show/Hide Catid.Bot> 1. 500 bounty + 2prox Catid.Bot> 1. 500 bounty + 2prox Catid.Bot> 1. 500 bounty + 2prox Catid.Bot> 1. 500 bounty + 2prox Catid.Bot> 1. 500 bounty + 2prox Catid.Bot> 1. 500 bounty + 2prox Catid.Bot> 1. 500 bounty + 2prox Catid.Bot> 1. 500 bounty + 2prox Catid.Bot> 1. 500 bounty + 2prox Catid.Bot> 1. 500 bounty + 2prox Catid.Bot> 1. 500 bounty + 2prox Catid.Bot> 1. 500 bounty + 2prox Catid.Bot> 1. 500 bounty + 2prox Catid.Bot> 1. 500 bounty + 2prox Catid.Bot> 1. 500 bounty + 2prox Catid.Bot> 1. 500 bounty + 2prox Catid.Bot> 1. 500 bounty + 2prox Catid.Bot> 1. 500 bounty + 2prox Catid.Bot> 1. 500 bounty + 2prox Catid.Bot> 1. 500 bounty + 2prox Catid.Bot> 1. 500 bounty + 2prox Catid.Bot> 1. 500 bounty + 2prox Catid.Bot> 1. 500 bounty + 2prox Catid.Bot> 1. 500 bounty + 2prox

It listed over and over because I added the same prize over and over.
Also, it will only show SNE, the sprintf won't allow event to some into play. How can I make this work accross two if statements.

Again, I am new to c++ bare with me.

It's like the first time int a is used it becomes static.

[Muskrat]

Your int a = 1; needs to be relocated outside of the command-handling portion so it will keep the value correctly. You're just setting a to 1 each time it gets called.

I can't really understand what way you're trying to apply these prizes, but playertags might be handy(Mervbot, right?). You should probably not try storing data in a file yet. Or look at other plugins which already do similar things.

I love you! You rock! It works! Using d1 and musk code together. You guys rock. Thanks. Now ill make it del lines and use time limits. Eck
