Getting irc channel count.
Posted: Fri Nov 08, 2013 7:20 pm
Sometime ago, I built an app that I use that stores timestamped listener counts from shoutcast for analysis and i've always wanted to do the same with irc channel counts. Since the bot is already in the room 24/7 I love to figure out a way to get this from the bot but I can't seem to solve this.
My thought was to put a raw NAMES command in the timer and just modify my app to parse the ircbot.log but It just isn't working.
Anyone have any other ideas how I could get this done with the bot? The ultimate solution for me would be to figure out how to get current room nicks into either the channel log or the bot log on a timed basis but not show in the room. I can parse it out to get it in my db.
If anyone has any ideas, they would be appreciated.
