Need Help With This Script

[plop]

just found a tiny error in the scripting.txt from ptokax.

GetItemByName(nick) - Returns user object of the nick
  nick - the nick of user.

should be.

GetItemByName(nick) - Returns user object of the nick, or returns nil if user is not in the hub.
  nick - the nick of user.

that hint from VidFamne was good but if you remove the end pipe you should always place it back later if data is send back out again.
the end pipe is | this character, so your SendPM line should be changed a little bit.
not a big error as many ppl forget it and it's actualy working without but it can cause problems.

user:SendPM(botname, "user "..name.." is sharing "..share1.." GB|")

thats all 2 it.
also take a look @ my pattern match howto, that should help you on the things you don't understand fully yet on strfind.
same simple english.

so i tryed to take the command from main :-

if( strsub(data, 1, 1) == "<" ) then 
 
data=strsub(data,1,strlen(data)-1) 
 
s,e,cmd = strfind( data, "%b<>%s+(%S+)" )

and make pm only which i coded like this :-

if( strsub(data, 1, 1) == "<" ) then 
 
data=strsub(data,1,strlen(data)-1) 
 
s,e,cmd = strfind(data,"$To:%s+%S+(%s+)From:%s+%S+%s+$%b<>%s+")

but nowt happens so im stuck  ?(  ?(  ?(  ?(

i know ive gone wroung some where in the strfind command

please help

ad pipe..
data=strsub(data,1,strlen(data)-1)
this appeared in one of the first scripts ever posted here
since then almost every script's DataArrival starts with this line

data = strsub(data, 1, -2)
does the same a tiny bit faster

but usually a strfind follows..
and you can easily deal with the pipe there
local s, e, cmd, args = strfind(data, "^%b<> (%S+)%s?(.*)|$")

so really theres no need to remove it

Is it what they called to re-use code? ;D
