Title: Little help required with user commands
Post by: satya on 26 October, 2009, 09:02:10
Hey guys!!

i need some help w.r.t to user commands and some string manipulation!!

First the user command:

When i was learning how to send user command i got to know that we can send commands at 3 places ie hub tab, user list or search result. Is there any way that i can set a command in the file list. ie wen user browse some1 files list he can get those commands. I am asking this is because i have seen in ApexDc and StrongDC that we can add some commands in the file list too.

Next thing is with string:

i m developing a script where wen a user shares something he can use the command and the command will send all the hub users a notification that user abc has shared blah with path and size

for that this is how to user-command will look
$UserCommand 1 4 Trial Commands\\Add Share$<%[mynick]> +share %[file] %[filesizeshort] %[filesize] %[nick]&#124;

So the output of this will be the complete path of the file along with the file name, short size of the file, long form of file size and users nick.

something like this.

+share Movies\Promos\AVATAR HD.avi 35.83 MiB 7158103 ABC

how can i use a string function so that i can dismantle the data in following format

Path:Movies\Promos\
File Name: AVATAR HD.avi
File Size: 35.83 MiB
User: ABC


I had been trying from a long time by cant get it right :(

And one last thing

Can ne1 explain me the concept of ConnectToMeArrival() function. I know that when a users tries to get file list of other user this function is triggered. But what i want to know is how can we use the data that is passed when it is triggred, can we get wich user is that user is tryin to connect the file name the size etc etc.

Any help will be appreciated
thanks

The Usercommands can be send anywhere, the codes are in the 1 1 part.
Try 1 15 and you will see them in all the places.
Its all depending on the second number u use, 1 1 is a place, 1 2 another, 1 3 are the places 1 1 and 1 2 together, 1 4 is again another place, 1 5 is 1 4 and 1 1 together, 1 6 is 1 4 and 1 2 together etc..

+share %[file] %[filesizeshort] %[filesize] %[nick]&#124;
local _,_,f,fss,fs,n = "share%s(.+)%s(%d+%a+)%s(%d+)%s(" ..user.sNick ")"


I don't know the client variabels, but i asume filesizeshort is 50MB and filesize is 500000...
so that's what i worked on. just use the pattern above in a string.find

Fantastic mutor that really works!!

but there is a problem!!
the user-command that i m sending from the script to the users is something like this

$UserCommand 1 4 Trial Commands\\Add Share$<%[mynick]> +share %[file] %[filesizeshort] %[filesize] %[nick]&#124;

Now when users clicks on any file name and triggers this command the path along with the file name doesnt contain '\\' i contains only single slash!!

this is wat i mean

+share Movies\Promos\AVATAR HD.avi 35.83 MiB 7158103 ABC

This is how the data will be received by the hub. there wont bt \\ in the path name i hope u get what i m trying to say

but ur sample code was really very good thanks a lot for it can u pls help me out with that pls.

Core.SendToAll("CTM: "..data)

if you just send data, it will "execute" the data as a CTM....
so adding anythign before data i.e "CTM: " or "!" will send it to main.
