Hi Joseph,
I'm unable to cc to the Python list from this address, so I'll try my
forwarding address.

You know that 'print' adds a newline?
You could either use -
import sys
sys.stdout.write(msg[print_msg])
or, to simplify things -
I would recommend either -
space = ' '
for item in msg:
item.rstrip()
joinedMsg = space.join(msg)
or
nullString = ''
joinedMsg = nullString.join(msg)
noNewlinesMsg = joinedMsg.replace('\n', nullString)
Let me know how it goes.
Regards,
Liam Clarke-Hutchinson

Hi Joseph,

Just a warning, the string module will be removed/deprecated come Py3K.
Better to use -
buffer.split()
nick_name = msg[0][:msg[0].find("!")]
filetxt.write(nick_name.lstrip(':') + ' -> ' + message.lstrip(':') + '\n')
Ok. Thanks for the heads up.
As to your printing problem, I'm not sure if you're referring to -
print msg[print_msg]
Oh, sorry. I'm refering to the print msg[print_msg]
And I'm not sure if you want it to print without an additional newline, or
with a newline.
Well every word is on it's own new line (I get a huge message from the IRC
server) and I'd like a word wrap or something to fix that.
#Incidentally, it's a bit simpler to maintain this kinda loop
#instead of a while loop.
for item in msg:
item.rstrip() #Will strip whitespace (\t\r\n etc.) by default
print item
Ah. Thanks
If you're wanting to print without the newline that print adds, why not do a
join like this one? message = ' '.join(msg[3:])
print ' '.join(msg) ?
Thanks again. This is proving very usefull.
What output you're expecting
I'm expecting a large amount of text without new lines for each word, and
possible word wrapping.
What output you're getting
Example:
this
is
the
type
of
message
I'm
getting
and
as
you
can
see
,
it's
really
annoying!
PS Your code is interesting, I've never dealt with the IRC protocol
before,so it's good to see a demonstration of it.
I edited the code from a Python Cookbook recipe.
I may toddle off and check
out that RFC.
Yes. Some people on a forum that I hang oput with suggested a chat room. A
freind of mine suggested IRC and python. He's doing the server and I'm doing
the client. I'm testing the client on freenode.. only thing I could think of
at the time.
