Bots and Forum Script: This way to the Future™!

I'd like to know what the commands for
-editing a post
-replacing text in a string, or give me a for loop and if and charAt statement.  

Editing a post is... editPost().

For non forum related things, php functions work. Use str_replace($orig, $new, $post)

Sweet that's what I did!-ish.

Code Select Expand

$message=$trigger['Message'];
str_replace ( 'catman' , 'notcat' , $message);
editPost(message);
How does it look?
I'm gonna fix it up a little later.

It needs to be $message=str_replace('catman', 'notcat', $message);

In php, it's rare for functions to modify source variables directly.

Thanks!  Gotcha!

I made a memebot.  
Hope it's acceptable.

Compiler 1.0 is really bad at nesting things inside of things, so I went through and modified your code a bit to get around that. Really need to remake the compiler haha.

Besides that, I think you're good. Won't know for sure until you make a few test posts.

Zero freaking clue why it isn't working.

I've isolated it down to the single function 'html_entity_decode' yet can still not get rid of the characters.

I'd like to mess around with stuff.

No clue how to let you have access to the problem, without just throwing everything and the kitchen sink in your face.



I isolated it down to the transfer between poster and bot. The message body isn't being preserved correctly. In a few hours I'll program a custom script to fix it.

That's what I figured.

Odd cookie to crack. The forum converts all messages to utf before sending them to the database, yet the database handles conversion going the opposite direction.

$trigger data bypasses the database so I needed to recode it manually. Should be good, or at least almost good. Got every special character on my keyboard working.
