| hello everyone
I'm verry new to Mush client, and scripting. I wanted to ask a question. I want to do the following:
send a huge list of commands, with a delay in bitween each. and also an ability to stop the sequence if I send, lets say, stop. is this possible? | | Top |

| Certainly it's possible. One way is to use the techniques described here:
http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=4956
That shows how you can script doing stuff with pauses between things. In that script you could test a variable, and use an alias to set a "stop" variable. If that variable is set then the script could exit.
The commands themselves could be in a Lua table, or a huge block of text which you read a line at a time. For doing that, see:
http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=6544
Or, you might read a file, and put the commands in that. Then read the file a line at a time. For file handling, see:

| Example code:
<aliases>
<alias
match="send_my_commands"
enabled="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>
require "wait"
wait.make (function ()
stopCommands = false -- variable to stop the loop
f = io.input ("commands.txt")
for line in f:lines () do
Send (line)
if stopCommands then
break
end
wait.time (1) -- wait a second
end
f:close () -- close that file now
end)
</send>
</alias>
<alias
match="stop_my_commands"
enabled="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>
stopCommands = true -- variable to stop the loop
Note "Command sending stopped"
</send>
</alias>
</aliases>

For advice on how to copy the above, and paste it into MUSHclient, please see Pasting XML.
|
This would give you two aliases:
- send_my_commands - start sending the contents of the file commands.txt
- stop_my_commands - stop sending those commmands
I have put a one second delay between each command, you can change that, of course. |
