[Sensetalk-sample-scripts] IRC Error Code RFC 1459 TextFormatParser

[Todd N. <osx...@ya...>]

Dear Sensetalkers,

I was working on a IRC bot/logger for Freenode using
Sensetalk and
needed the IRC error numbers in constants for my code
to work
the way I wanted (ie, clean, simple, blah blah blah). 
I found the
page with the IRC 1459 with error codes (from 1993)
and 
decided I want them formated in a function nicely. 
So, take the 
output of pbpaste which was used to get them off the
webpage,
and stuff that into a ST based filter tool, and presto
magic
most of the output was exactly what I want.

This was a lesson in how to quickly (whip up) a tool
that would
do the job that I wanted.  Could have said been done
in awk,
sed or grep, sure thing.  Perl, you bet.  Ruby or
Python, no problem.
Could have been done in shell.  However, it was a 2
minute 'ordeal'
in ST and I don't think that would be the case another
language, not
at least for me.

Enjoy the script, its principle is what matters.  YOu
can get a LOT
done with ST in a short amount of time.  SenseTalk is
a very fast,
simple and clean way to devise rather complex filters.

Best wishes and warm regards,
