can i get a script which when typed !imdbrating star wars can show rating and votes of all movies and movie names which have star wars in their name
see that some movies like Star Wars and lord of rings have a : in their name
i did try to write the script..but got stuck at string.find part..not able to move forward :(
can some one help me with this
function(sArgs)
-- for line in io.lines(Cfg.Path..Cfg.File) do
line = "0000001222 32586 8.4 The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)"
if string.find(line,"The")
then
sMsg = sMsg.."found"..line.."\n"
end
--end
end
in the
if string.find(line,"The")
it returns true because "The" is in the variable line
but when i send sArgs as "The" to the function and use
if string.find(line,sArg)
this always returns false....
what is the mistake im doing ?
Hi,
First of all check if the sArg really contains what you think it does, secondly,
function (sArgs)
string.find( line , sArg)
sArgs is not equal to sArg, different variables.
yea i got that...i did not filter the | character that comes..figured that out .. thanks btw :)
