bot ignores |'s

[Black Mage]

it seems that when the bot is splitting raw text into bits (username, command, text etc) it drops all |'s
this may be why polls are broken

seems like the problem is on line 593
$mtext = substr($line,index($line,":",index($line,":")+1)+1) ;

Yup yup, fixed in the 1.0.3 whenever it gets around to being polished up .

[nano]

how did you fix it?  and when will 1.0.3 be out?

Here's what I did to fix it: in the poll code, near the heading VOTE POLL THING, I changed

Code:

 $polltopic = substr($text,10,index($text,"|")-11);
  $pollchoices = substr($text,index($text,"|")-1);
  @polloptions = split(/\|/,$pollchoices);

to:

Code:

  $polltopic = substr($text,10,index($text,":")-11);
  $pollchoices = substr($text,index($text,":")-1);
  @polloptions = split(/\:/,$pollchoices);

That means you can use colon rather than pipe to separate the choices:

startpoll topic : option1 : option2 : etc

...so it means your q's and a's can't have colons - I'm pretty sure that's all I did, and the poll appears to work fine.

The 'missing parameter' help text needs to be altered too.
