MOTD problem

[BossiDeLeon]

hey everyone,

i use this code to display "message" in the main chat to a user who has just connected:

function NewUserConnected(sUser)
	SendToNick(sUser, "message")
end

but it doesn't seem to work.

consequently, this code for displaying a text file as the MOTD doesn't work either:

MOTD_FILE = "MOTD.txt"

function NewUserConnected(sUser)
	SendToNick(sUser, TextFile(MOTD_FILE))
end

function TextFile(file)
	readfrom(file, "r")
	local message = ""
	while 1 do
		local line = read()
		if line == nil the break
		else
			message = message..line.."\n"
		end
	end
	readfrom()
	return message
end

any help would be very appreciated!
thanks!

This should work. It gives no errors in my hub.

MOTD_FILE = "motd.txt"

function NewUserConnected(sUser)
	SendPm(sUser, "message")
end

function TextFile(file)
	readfrom(file, "r")
	local message = ""
	while 1 do
		local line = read()
		if line == nil then break
		else
			message = message..line.."\n"
		end
	end
	readfrom()
	return message
end

Grtzzz

try this :)

motd = "MOTD.txt" -- textfile
bot = "welcome" -- botname Give it the same name as your main bot

function Main()
frmHub:RegBot(bot)
end

OpConnected = NewUserConnected
function NewUserConnected(sUser)
	sUser:SendPM(bot,TextFile(motd))
end

function TextFile(file)
	readfrom(file, "r")
	local message = ""
	while 1 do
		local line = read()
		if line == nil then break
		else
			message = message..line.."\n"
		end
	end
	readfrom()
	return message
end

function TextFile(file)
	readfrom(file, "r")
	local message = ""
	while 1 do
		local line = read()
