Matching multiple parts in string

[DeaD_EyE]

I'm on multiple networks and the script triggers on all networks ive joined , how can I specify to do the job only for one particulair network and channel?

In the user_join_callback is the network object, which could be used to differ between different networks. For example you can put a network in a str variable and compare it with the network variable in the user_join_callback. If it's not equal, you can just return with weechat.WEECHAT_RC_OK. I think a weechat requires that the callback always return a valid object. Forgetting the return anything, will return implicit a None.

The weechat.info_get_hashtable function can parse different types of messages.
The info_name "irc_message_parse" returns a hash table, which is like a Python dict.

https://weechat.org/files/doc/stable/wee..._hashtable

Name: irc_message_parse
Description: parse an IRC message
Hash table input: {"message": IRC message, "server": "server name (optional)"}

Output: "tags": tags, "tag_xxx": unescaped value of tag "xxx" (one key per tag), "message_without_tags": message without the tags, "nick": nick, "user": user, "host": host, "command": command, "channel": channel, "arguments": arguments (includes channel), "text": text (for example user message), "param1" …​ "paramN": parsed command parameters, "num_params": number of parsed command parameters, "pos_command": index of "command" message ("-1" if "command" was not found), "pos_arguments": index of "arguments" message ("-1" if "arguments" was not found), "pos_channel": index of "channel" message ("-1" if "channel" was not found), "pos_text": index of "text" message ("-1" if "text" was not found)

The resulting object from the weechat.get_info_hashtable function maybe a dict.
If it's a dict, you should be able to access it directly:

1 2 3

msg = weechat.info_get_hashtable("irc_message_parse", {"message": signal_data}) channel = msg["channel"] # not sure if this works

Yes, it seem to work.
The example from the last post with modification:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83

Look at line 20 and 21 carefully. I used tuples, but a tuple with only one element inside requires a tailing comma. Lists with the square-brackets do not require this.

The networks seem only consist of the name. If I'm on irc.libera.chat, the network is libera.
What here is missing, is the possibility to manage for each network individual channels.
If you want to do this also, you can provide instead of a tuple, a dict where the keys are the allowed network names and the values are lists or tuples with allowed channels for each network.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

networks = {     "libera": ["#python-test", "#python-test2"],     "quakenet": ["#python-test3", "#python-test4"], }   # later inside the callback function: if not network in networks.get(network, []):     return weechat.WEECHAT_RC_OK   # networks is a dict # the get function does not raise a KeyError if the key from network # does not exist. Instead it returns by default a None. In this case, # a None is useless because the in operator requires a sequence/collection check for existence. # In this case we deliver an empty list, if the key does not exist, # where the lookup fails because the list is empty.

Amazing! And thank you for the comments and explanation DeaD_EyE :)
So I can replace:

1 2	NETWORKS = ("libera",) CHANNELS = ("#python-test",)

With:

1 2 3 4

networks = {     "libera": ["#python-test", "#python-test2"],     "quakenet": ["#python-test3", "#python-test4"], }

And:

1 2	if network not in NETWORKS or channel not in CHANNELS:     return weechat.WEECHAT_RC_OK

With:

1 2	if not network in networks.get(network, []):     return weechat.WEECHAT_RC_OK

? Also can i remove the line:

1	CHANNEL = "#python-test"

But what to do with this line?:

1	weechat.command(buffer, f"/wait 1 /mode {CHANNEL} +o {nick}")

Do i need to change CHANNEL into channel or network variable?
I'm not sure how to implement this questions correctly in the script :/
