It's a simple developer assistant bot that searches developer websites and returns the best links. It only runs on AIM right now with screenname: DeveloperRef. You can search three different things: Msyql, PerlDoc and CPAN. Try typing the following lines in an IM with DeveloperRef: Code: msyql select<br /><br />cpan AIM<br /><br />perldoc uc<br /> If anybody wants more functionality added, just let me know what you want. The bot is a work in progress, I plan to add a lot more soon.

Just type php followed by the function name like this: Code: php print I also added quick links to the various reference sites. Type any of the following for a quick link. Code: cpan<br /><br />mysql<br /><br />perl<br /><br />php

Running a search for preg_match attempts to return the page function.preg_match.php. The actual page is function.preg-match.php. You may have to do a conversion on underscores.

For example, if I type in php mysql, it returns a 404. When I search through the php site, mysql returns ref.mysql.php because there is no function called mysql. However, there are pages for specific mysql functions such as mysql_affected_rows (function.mysql-affected-rows.php). Also wanted to say that I think the bot is very kewl. I'm new to IM bots and my head is spinning with possibile applications for these :blink: .

It now finds functions in the functions pages and the ref pages and finally defaults to a regular search. Thanks for the suggestions! Keep them coming.

Thanks

This is my on_login.pl Code: ######################################<br />#                                    #<br />#                            ##      #<br />#           ###########     # #      #<br />#          #           #     #       #<br />#         #     ###     #   ###      #<br />#        #     #  #      #           #<br />#        #      ###      #           #<br />#        #     #  #      #           #<br />#         #    ##########            #<br />#          #                         #<br />#           ###########              #<br />#                                    #<br />#                                    #<br />######################################<br /><br />sub on_login {<br /><br /> my $self = shift;<br /><br />#Goes through block list, and blocks screennames when bot signs on.<br /> open(FILE, "clients/list.txt");<br /> my @block = <FILE>;<br /> close(FILE);<br /> chomp(@block);<br /><br /> my $i = 0;<br /> my $*lazy* = scalar(@block);<br /><br /> foreach my $bad (@block) {<br />  $self->add_deny(1, 'buddies', $block[$i]);<br />  print "I have blocked $block[$i]!\n";<br />  sleep(1);<br />  if ($i < $*lazy*) {<br />   $i++;<br />  }<br /> }<br /> print "Finished blocking idiots!\n\n";<br /><br />#Messages admin screennames, that the bot has signed on.<br /> open(ADMIN, "commands/admin.txt");<br /> my @admin = <ADMIN>;<br /> close(ADMIN);<br /> chomp(@admin);<br /><br /> foreach my $admin (@admin) {<br />  $self->send_im($admin, "Hello $admin, I am online and ready for use!");<br /> }<br /><br />}<br />1; I have it load when the bot signs on...just add Code: on_login() at the end of your on_config.pl code. AIM bots don't seem to keep blocked people blocked. When someone warns the bot, the on_evil() adds them to "list.txt" and blocks them. However, they are only blocked for the duration of the bot's online time. When the bot signs on again, they are no longer blocked. My on_login() function will block the list of individuals again. It also messages all the admins that it is online. _________________ Anthony Arslan @-Squared Enterprises MacroHard Corporation

DeveloperRef (and all of my bots) uses a system that bans users that warn him. Ban length increases each time a users warns him, resulting ultimately in a complete ban. He doesn't warn back and doesn't add users to a block list. The unfortunate thing is there is an endless supply of warners. Also, back in the day when I did use warning and denying, I don't remember having any problems with denying users. I believe you have to call something else after you deny a user in order for it to stay on the list when your bot signs on again. Check the AIM protocol docs.

On Net::OSCAR use the command: $oscar->commit_buddylist() That makes any changes you make to your buddy list/blocked list/allow list/allow preferences (which are like buddies-only, everyone, etc) I (think) the Net::AIM command looks like this... $aim->send_buddylist or $aim->send_buddies but I'm not sure. Although I personally like the "Warn and block, warn and block, warn and block" over and over again because it's so funny to watch the lowest form of human intelligence do it OVER and OVER and OVER again (especially when you have 3 bots, they try talking to all of them one after another every time you restart it and get warned 3 times)
