in many of my commands i have things like this:

Code:
my $websmenu = <br />"   Google query here - Search google.<br />   spellcheck word - Check a words spelling<br />   translate text*fromlanguage*tolanguage - Translator<br />   dict word - Dictionary<br />   hsec - Get The US Homeland security level.<br />   acro acronym - Gets the meaning of an acronym<br />   speech - Text to speech with many voices!<br />   horoscope sign - Get you daily horoscope!<br />   whatpulse user - Get a what pulse profile";<br /><br />&send($self, $websmenu,$username, Color => "005500");<br />


When it is printed in the console it appears correctly, but when it is received over MSN, extra line breaks are inserted, ie.

Quote:
hsec - Get The US Homeland security level.
acro acronym - Gets the meaning of an acronym
speech - Text to speech with many voices!


becomes

Quote:
hsec - Get The US Homeland security level.

acro acronym - Gets the meaning of an acronym

speech - Text to speech with many voices!




This is the sending part of my bot:

Code:
<br />   print colored ("----------------------------------------------------------------------------\n", ' bold red');<br />   print colored ("<$bot_name> MSN ($time): $response\n", ' bold green');<br />   print colored ("----------------------------------------------------------------------------\n", ' bold red');<br />   <br />   $self->sendMessage($response, %{$bot->{Settings}->{Style}}, @_);


Any ideas on why this is happening?

take out the hard line breakes and use \n

Code:
my $websmenu =<br />" Google query here - Search google.\nspellcheck word - Check a words spelling";<br /><br />or<br /><br />my $websmenu =" Google query here - Search google.";<br />my $websmenu .="\nspellcheck word - Check a words spelling";<br />


AOL does the same thing to trillian users when I load data from a file and dump it directly in a message without chomping and using \n.

Yeah, I wrote a chat script using a Windows server and in Linux it had that line break problem. I had to go in and do more with the stuff manually.....

But my problem was in opening files with multiple lines, and I fixed it by just turning \r\n\r\n into \n or something like that. I don't think that helps you much though since you're not using arrays and foreach loops.

maya commands are not added by requiring.

they are text files that are read in.


can you expand on your solution?


thanks

perhaps instead of altering each file the way I suggested you could just transliterate it and get rid of the \r in you im handler before it gets sent.

Something like:
$websmenu =~ tr/\r//;

What I ended up doing (since my chat script is a line-by-line basis) is just removing \r and \n from each line.

Here's an example of the code (I know it's poorly coded but I coded my chat room a good long time ago Wink ).
Code:
# Load the configuration.<br />%cfg;<br />open (CFG, "$path{config}");<br />@data = <CFG>;<br />close (CFG);<br />chomp @data;<br />foreach $line (@data) {<br />     if ($line !~ /^\#/) {<br />          ($what,$is) = split(/=/, $line, 2);<br />          $what = lc($what);<br />          $what =~ s/ //g;<br /><br />          chomp $is;<br />          chomp $what;<br /><br />          $is =~ s/\n//g;<br />          $is =~ s/\r//g;<br />          $what =~ s/\n//g;<br />          $what =~ s/\r//g;<br /><br />          $cfg{$what} = $is;<br />     }<br />}


I don't know how well it will work for your case though, since Perl codes usually need more than one line. Of course you could go on a foreach through the @filedata array and push each line onto an @newarray or something when you're done with it.
