5 Python: xchat.command() issue - ID: 2822398

Last Update: Comment added ( )

Details:

I'm using a call like this in my Python script:
xchat.command('me '+my_action)
The point is that XChat doesn't add the trailing \001 into it's ACTION
command to IRC server, which should look like
\001, then ACTION <text>, then \001 again
If I type /me <...> in the input field on the channel, it's fine. I can see
it in "raw" log window.
IRC server replies in the raw log that there's a mistake in the command,
and other users on channel see my action as if I was saying "<square
here>ACTION text".
XChat version is 2.8.6 (Gentoo Linux)

Date: 2009-11-02 02:17 Sender: https://www.google.com/accounts I was having the same problem, and it turned out to be a simple bug in the script. It would read a random line from a file and chomp() it (this is Perl) to remove the trailing line break. However, chomp() removes only \n, not \r, so the trailing \001 would get interpreted as a separate command. Some clients don't care, and will display it as an action anyway. Others show the literal \001ACTION you described. The fix was just to manually replace \r with nothing in the command string.
