i have a txt file, with a bunch of words, each one in a line, how can i check if a string has any of those words?

Found a fix.... on 256mb ram allocation it showed the incorrect bytes used.... fixed the code
earnest phoenix
i have a txt file, with a bunch of words, each one in a line, how can i check if...
read the file, split by lines, iterate through the words with a for-else statement and check if it's in the string, if so break. If it didn't break, it goes to the else statement, which means the string doesn't contain any word from the file. There are certainly better algorithms for this, this is just a quick approach.
placid meadow
@drifting wedge u could use regex
dusky sundial
You could probably do the check in one line using any()
drifting wedge
basically i need to check if a string is a url/website
drifting wedge
pls do shiv isnt here and i dont feel like coding
so pls do it for me
jkjk
but if you do have something
id love to use it
but explain how it works lol
placid meadow
((http|ftp|wss|https):\/\/[\w\-_]+(\.[\w\-_]+)+([\w\-\.,@?^=%&:/~\+#]*[\w\-\@?^=%&/~\+#])?)
drifting wedge
explain pls
placid meadow
thats the pattern
drifting wedge
ive NEVER done regex
placid meadow
oh ok
drifting wedge
so idk ANYTHING
earnest phoenix
If you were to go with the regex approach, refer to this as well https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html
snow urchin
https://i.callumdev.pw/sjfrz.png
since I prevent the default action on the submit form (to stop the redirect and use a custom post request)
how can I still make sure it checks that all required fields have an input?
drifting wedge
`((http|ftp|wss|https):\/\/[\w\-_]+(\.[\w\-_]+)+([\w\-\.,@?^=%&:/~\+#]*[\w\-...
whats the method for this?
earnest phoenix
If you're sure the url will only be in the beginning, use re.match, otherwise use re.search
drifting wedge
k cool
ty
re.search("((http|ftp|wss|https):\/\/[\w\-_]+(\.[\w\-_]+)+([\w\-\.,@?^=%&:/~\+#]*[\w\-\@?^=%&/~\+#])?)", content): so like this?
earnest phoenix
try that, but I think you should use raw string
drifting wedge
wdym?
content is just the raw string but all lowercase
shouldnt affect anything
earnest phoenix
No, I mean the pattern, since you don't wanna escape the backslash, but idk try it
drifting wedge
OHHHH
elif re.search("""((http|ftp|wss|https):\/\/[\w\-_]+(\.[\w\-_]+)+([\w\-\.,@?^=%&:/~\+#]*[\w\-\@?^=%&/~\+#])?)""", content):
should this work?
placid meadow
yeah sorry, this pattern comes from dotnet regex
i dont know for sure it js takes it like that
earnest phoenix
that's just multiline strings, not a raw string
drifting wedge
(im doing py)
placid meadow
double quote ?
sudden geyser
Why are you trying to write your own URL validator anyway
drifting wedge
how do i do a raw string?
earnest phoenix
I just tried it using general string, it works dw
placid meadow
'
earnest phoenix
r""
earnest phoenix
what error?
drifting wedge
not errors
alerts
can be ignored
it was bc of escape \
what string types are there?
f and r?
earnest phoenix
there are binary literals and unicode literals as well
b"" and u"", you can combine those ig
drifting wedge
doesnt appear to work
only with actual https://
google.com works
and like www.google.com
if its only for https links i can just use if https:// or http://
earnest phoenix
What are the inputs?
earnest phoenix
ah, the scheme is required, you can make it optional
but that might lead to false-positive ig not sure
drifting wedge
i dont know that much advanced shit lol
what is a scheme?
also whats a kwarg lol
earnest phoenix
scheme is like ftp, http, wss
drifting wedge
wss?
earnest phoenix
kwarg is a keyword argument https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3102/
drifting wedge
oh
earnest phoenix
these are schemes
earnest phoenix
but that might lead to false-positive ig not sure
yeah, if you make the scheme optional, it'll match a.b which is not quite what you want 
earnest phoenix
But the clickable ones are the ones with the scheme, aren't they?
drifting wedge
i mean the question isnt neccessarily about if i should use regex
but how i should deal with links
like should i block the clickable links
or just ALL links
wss://google.com
thats not clickable?
earnest phoenix
Seems only https? clickable, not sure
earnest phoenix
that's why I put a question mark, the s is optional
drifting wedge
OOHH
thats a tihng
lol i havent looked into advanced stuff yet lol
how would that work?
https? in message.content?
in a string?
earnest phoenix
it's a regex pattern
lyric mountain
? means "match 0 or 1 of the preceding token"
regex is not hard at all
you just need to understand what each thing is
drifting wedge
says the person who knows regex
earnest phoenix
Just need some time and effort
lyric mountain
and most importantly, don't try to read other people's regex
it's impossible
it's dangerous to go alone, take this with you https://regexr.com/
earnest phoenix
yeah that site is cool, it breaks down the pattern for ya
lyric mountain
I'd say regex is easier than programming
drifting wedge
self.antispam.append(message.author.id)
counter = 0
for i in self.antispam:
if (i == message.author.id):
counter += 1
await sleep(5)
self.antispam.remove(message.author.id)
if counter >= 4:
await message.delete()
await message.channel.send(f"Hey {message.author.mention}! Please don't spam!", delete_after=10)``` any ideas to make this work better / any ideas to fix it?is that supposed to be ran on each message?
drifting wedge
yes
content is the message content but lowercase btw
not useful here
but its just easier
lyric mountain
await in events is kinda bad
drifting wedge
how so?
drifting wedge
wait wot
lyric mountain
then check if the id is in that collection
if it is, user is ratelimited
else it's not
drifting wedge
wait explain in dumb wordsd
earnest phoenix
Someone spams, sleeps for 5 seconds to delete the id of them, same guy just spams 4 seconds after, the id is removed a second after, the remove line raised ValueError 4 seconds after
lyric mountain
something like this ig https://pypi.org/project/expiringdict/
it doubles as a handy cache
drifting wedge
wait wdym?
drifting wedge
k
lyric mountain
each time someone enters the building, you put a cucumber in the stand
all cucumbers will expire after 5 seconds from being put in the stand
earnest phoenix
is redis overkill for this?
lyric mountain
if the person re-enters the building while its cucumber hasn't expired, you kick the person out of the place
lyric mountain
is redis overkill for this? <:lol:772789914524975114>
totally 
drifting wedge
so store a list of dicts
lyric mountain
then check if the user is in the cache, if it exists, check the count
drifting wedge
uhh
lyric mountain
if the count is below 5, increase and save
lyric mountain
I'm bad at putting it in words
drifting wedge
i could store each user as a dcict
dict
in the list
on message
the dict counter goes up
but i need to after 5 seconds make the dict counter go down 1
which is the await
lyric mountain
work with 0
drifting wedge
?
lyric mountain
if the user isn't in the cache, then consider it to be 0
(or 1 if you REALLY want to use 1)
basically:
lyric mountain
busy waiting
drifting wedge
i mean i can just make it wait last?
earnest phoenix
If that's a separate listener, does it really matter?
lyric mountain
try using the wait method, if you face issues try using the self-expiring dict
drifting wedge

This means you should have a basic understanding of the following topics:
- proper syntax
- debuging code
- basic features (vars, arrays, objects, functions)
- read and understand docs
- nodejs module system
As much as we d like to assist everyone with making their bots, we rarely have the time and/or patience to handhold beginners through learning javascript. We highly recommend understanding the basics before trying to make bots, which use advanced programming concepts.
Here are good resources to learn both Javascript and NodeJS:
Javascriptinfo: https://javascript.info/
Codecademy: https://www.codecademy.com/learn/javascript
FreeCodeCamp: https://www.freecodecamp.org/
Udemy: https://www.udemy.com/javascript-essentials/
Eloquent JavaScript, free book: http://eloquentjavascript.net/
You-Dont-Know-JS: https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS
NodeSchool: https://nodeschool.io/
CodeSchool: https://www.codeschool.com/courses/real-time-web-with-node-js
Evie s Accelerated JS: https://js.evie.dev/
Please take a couple of weeks/months to get acquainted with the language before trying to make bots!

hi umm
anyone knows form data?

This only appends 3 items into the "name" array for some reason when i have 5 items. (ignore the syntax, just an example)that's not how a for loop works
crystal wigeon
i know...
that was just for faster reference for what im doing
anyway. on the server side i receive only 3
name: [ 'yuno gasai', 'amano yukiteru', 'akise aru' ],
but i have 5 and when i check fd.entries()
it shows me all 5

Or don't use query params, send the array as the body of the request
eternal osprey
hey
so i have made a bot that actually triggers on certain words being used
it works for the description
but not for the title of the embed.
The trigger word had to be Donate.
but it didn't trigger.
const fake = message.content || message.embeds[0].description || message.embeds[0].footer || message.embeds[0].title
let m = final.filter(a => fake.includes(a))
let z = final.some(a => fake.includes(a))```

Technically you'd need to check for the word in all of those instead of relying on absence of others

lusty quest
did you store data, like Guild IDs for Per Guild configs
feral aspen
Adding an option in the clone() method which is the reason makes the bot not allowing anything to run meaning not allowing the channel to be nuked. (Not raiding) Making a nuke command, not used incorrectly, no hurt pls
feral aspen
it means ?
Do you store any user data?
feral aspen
Say that you don't store any user data.
Since 100 characters is the minimum limit
You can write I believe that my answer to the following question is no as I don't store any user or server data from users or servers.

yes, all 3 of them are.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR USERS TO REQUEST DELETION OF THEIR DATA?
umbral zealot
Are you really expecting us to know the answers to these very simple questions? You're the dev, if you don't actually know whether you store data, that's bad.
pale vessel

you answer it

WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR USERS TO REQUEST DELETION OF THEIR DATA?
Here's your answer: " I have no idea what security is or how to handle any of this so I don't have any process in place for any of it I just want a bot with a checkmark"
earnest phoenix
LMAO
earnest phoenix
nothing
umbral zealot
run your command again
umbral zealot
yeah I know it's not working we didnt fix it
waxen bough
I assume it's not bad if your gonna use json files for long term data storage.
vivid fulcrum
debug it
umbral zealot
I want to know if anything actually see anything in the console log when you run it
like, basic debugging
waxen bough
I assume it's not bad if your gonna use json files for long term data storage.
what's bad is it's constantly being replaced
waxen bough
what's bad is it's constantly being replaced
i just used json for that
umbral zealot
IF you're not actively changing or modifying the file during runtime, yes json is fine
But then that's not a database those are just config files or backup files.
waxen bough
i want to use database that doesn't need remote server. because apparently a lot do
earnest phoenix
yeah I know it's not working we didnt fix it
nothing got logged
umbral zealot
Hey remember earlier I suggested 3 different databases you could use
Here: #development message

umbral zealot
nothing got logged
Then the command isn't running at all. Can you show me your other meme command that does work? I Want to compare
sterile lantern
if you are, do not use file-based DBs
they corrupt very easily
and loose data all the time

noever happend to me tho samm
earnest phoenix
Look
placid meadow
i see
earnest phoenix
And you're, like, 100% sure you saved this new file and *restarted your bot* ?
glitch autosaves
let me refresh it
earnest phoenix
refreshed it
crimson vapor
I don't really understand the use of glitch for discord bots
umbral zealot
Because it used to be the one good free option
before repl.it got known for "replacing" them
crimson vapor
oh
umbral zealot
I literally had a guide on AIG where I posted how to use it because heroku was shit and too hard for people and repl.it was a bit of an unknown at that time
earnest phoenix
still isnt working
umbral zealot
now that guide says "don't use this it's not good for hosting"
but people just don't want to listen
pale vessel
Heroku is super easy and fast though
umbral zealot
It really isn't as easy as any other service.
pale vessel
If you don't know how to use git
umbral zealot
Also Heroku's now even more locked down and useless than glitch from what I understand?
umbral zealot
Might just be people that didn't have a CC or know how to use workerfile or whatever
umbral zealot
still isnt working
Add a console log right before the https.get and see if it even runs
add more console logs
add more debugging
figure it out
latent heron
i think the thing about hosting bots on heroku is a little stretched imo
crimson vapor
or install vsc and use the debug features
latent heron
there's nothing preventing you from doing it, it's just discouraged on
if you have a bot that's minimal on processing or memory usage, then go for it, but a bot that's intensive and requires things like constant database changes, massive-scale API calls, and etc. is probably not a good idea to host on heroku at all
waxen bough
Hey remember earlier I suggested 3 different databases you could use
i think the best one for me is nedb so far because it's async. in enmap everytime i have to specify path arg and it's sync. quick.db is sync too.
umbral zealot
Ok well hold up
why is sync a problem? That's usually a benefit
also the path is optional in every enmap feature 😛
pale vessel
looks like a mongodb clone
waxen bough
why is sync a *problem*? That's usually a benefit
doesn't it block other scripts from running though
umbral zealot
it doesn't because it's pretty much instantaneous, it's the fastest database interaction you can find
waxen bough

so i don't have to worry abt it
umbral zealot
better-sqlite3 (which both enmap and quickdb use) is blocking but also something like 500% faster than async dbs
On those tiny-ass interactions you're going to be doing it doesn't matter at all
earnest phoenix

Hello I would like your help, I am looking to create a command with my bot that sends a first embed and adds arrows emotes below and make sure I can navigate in my menu as long as a cross emote is not put . But I have no idea how to do this can you help me?
waxen bough
man i have troubles installing enmap
apparently it can't cd to my directory
probably because it has space
umbral zealot
yes, remove spaces and special characters from your path
also read these instructions extremely carefully
https://enmap.evie.dev/install#pre-requisites
waxen bough
yes, remove spaces and special characters from your path
i am running dual boot and that path was symlinked so I can access from both systems
umbral zealot
yeah that sounds like a massive pain in the ass and also you aiming a shotgun straight at your foot with a twitchy finger on the trigger.
waxen bough
hahah yes
umbral zealot
also how does dual booting affect folder names though
waxen bough
also how does dual booting affect folder names though
I have Windows 10 and my username has space. that's where the original path is located
and it's symlinked to my documents folderi in ubuntu
umbral zealot
ah well surely there's a wya to get a path without, like, y'know, D:/devel/bots/mybot 😛
waxen bough
I can't switch it around because windows can't access ext partitions
I got no time to deal with it right now. I guess tomorrow..
i'll just sleep i guess
bye
umbral zealot
what "everything" have you tried and how didn't it work?
glad ruin
whn they vote the bot
glad ruin
ye
umbral zealot
the api gives you the ID of the user
glad ruin
yes
umbral zealot
just get them from client.users.cache.get("user id here")
glad ruin
Yeah i tried it... Lemme try again ig :?/
glad ruin
oki
glad ruin
Yeah
glad ruin
But it said bot.users.chache.get isn't a function last time i tested... But how to test it i've already voted...
umbral zealot
I think, yes
glad ruin
okok
So
app.post('/dblwebhook', webhook.middleware(), (req, res) => {
console.log(req.vote.user)
bot.users.cache.get(req.vote.user).send("Thank you for voting me in top.gg!")
})```code
Cannot read the property of send
is the error
umbral zealot
console.log(req.vote.user) <---- this logs something. what does it log
ok good
and it's your ID?
umbral zealot
Great. So it is a question of your user being uncached
glad ruin
Hmm yeah
umbral zealot
you'll need to fetch them instead. bot.users.fetch(req.vote.user) but note that you'll have to await this because it returns a promise, it's not synchronous.
glad ruin
hmm
lemme try
await bot.users.fetch(req.vote.user).send("Thank you for voting me in top.gg!") not work
umbral zealot
and also that
glad ruin
So what can i doo?
umbral zealot
perhaps read https://js.evie.dev/promises
glad ruin
hmm k
app.post('/dblwebhook', webhook.middleware(), (req, res) => {
console.log(req.vote.user)
await bot.users.fetch(req.vote.user).send("Thank you for voting me in top.gg!")
})```How to add async in this function @umbral zealoti meant where
umbral zealot
don't make me repeat everythign that's on that page. Read it, learn, understand.
glad ruin
Oki
ty
app.post('/dblwebhook', webhook.middleware(), async (req, res) => {
console.log(req.vote.user)
await bot.users.fetch(req.vote.user).send("Thank you for voting me in top.gg!")
})```Now it says `TypeError: bot.users.fetch(...).send is not a function`ok
pale vessel
you mean DiscordAPIError?
opal plank
glad ruin
ok
glad ruin
So this would fix it?```js
app.post('/dblwebhook', webhook.middleware(), async (req, res) => {
console.log(req.vote.user)
(await users.fetch(req.cote.user).catch(() => null))?.send("My message")
})```
pale vessel
Yes
pale vessel
are you on node v14+?
glad ruin
yes
pale vessel
Ah, nice
pale vessel
change users to <client>.users
glad ruin
node v12.16.1
pale vessel
oh, then you can't use optional chaining
pale vessel
you can't update then
pale vessel
just do js const user = await client.users.fetch(id).catch(() => null); if (user) user.send();
pale vessel
if you still want one line then you can do js (await client.users.fetch(id).catch(() => ({ send() {} }))).send("something");
vivid fulcrum
sending can also fail so you should probably handle that too
earnest phoenix
is there any way to easy up?
let {textcolor} = req.body
await db.set(req.params.id,{
textcolor:textcolor,
})```use void (await client.users.fetch(id).catch(() => ({ send() {} }))).send("something"); unless you want the sent message, use catch()
glad ruin
sending can also fail so you should probably handle that too
app.post('/dblwebhook', webhook.middleware(), async (req, res) => {
console.log(req.vote.user)
const user = await bot.users.fetch(req.vote.user).catch(() => null);
if (user) {
try {
user.send("Thank you for voting me in top.gg!");
} catch (err) {
if (err) return;
}
}
})
```This will remove those errors right?What's the point of void there

await the send and that if check in the catch is useless
pale vessel
add await
glad ruin
Oki
vivid fulcrum
the error will always be defined if the code jumps to the catch clause
glad ruin
app.post('/dblwebhook', webhook.middleware(), async (req, res) => {
console.log(req.vote.user)
const user = await bot.users.fetch(req.vote.user).catch(() => null);

```Now?good enough
pale vessel
i'd use user.send().catch(() => null); or try { await user.send(); } catch {} or void user.send();
glad ruin
But still now it works right?
pale vessel
yeah
earnest phoenix
ofc
glad ruin
ested and it worked
pale vessel
you don't need thatif (err) return; like cry said, it's redundant
err will always exist in catch
