Greetings everyone, I've been working on a bot in Java to function as a file server. If you're familiar with mIRC then you probably are used to seeing the SysReset script responding to the !list command in channels. Basically, I'm trying to create a program independent bot to do the same. This is a portion of the method I wrote to achieve this (this is the relevant portion):

(Toggle Plain Text)

                        if(params.indexOf('\001' + "trigger") != -1)
                        {
                            System.out.println("A CTCP chat request has been received.");
                            ircSend("privmsg " + prefix.substring(0, prefix.indexOf('!')) + " :DCC CHAT chat " + myAddress(false) + " 8862");
                            
                            ServerSocket ctcpServerSocket = null;
                            try
                            {
                                ctcpServerSocket = new ServerSocket(8862);
                            }
                            catch(Exception e)
                            {
                                System.err.println("CTCP socket not created.");
                            }
                            ctcpServerSocket.setSoTimeout(10000);
                            try
                            {
                                ctcpServerSocket.accept();
                            }
                            catch(Exception e)
                            {
                                System.err.println("DCC connection failed.");
                            }
                            ctcpServerSocket.close();
                        }

So, the bot logs in to an IRC server and then joins a channel. When a user in the channel input the command '/ctcp MyBot trigger' this method sends out the command to initialize a DCC chat. It creates a server socket to where the initiator of the DCC chat should connect. However, something's not working and I can't figure out what that is. I'd appreciate any help, and would be happy to clarify anything that's unclear.

Well turns out I figured out the problem. The method that I created, myAddress() returns a string in one of two formats. It returns my IP address in the format #.#.#.# when you pass a boolean value of true, or it returns the IP address without the periods (####) if you pass a boolean value of false. However, the DCC Chat protocol doesn't work this way. It actually requires an IP4 address to be send into the string. Which basically means I have to take the address a.b.c.d and convert it into a long in the following manner:

ip4 = (a * 256 ^ 3) + (b * 256 ^ 2) + (c * 256 ^ 1) + (d * 256 ^ 0)
ip4 = a * 16777216 + b * 65536 + c * 256 + d

That little conversion solved the problem and established the connection. The work on the bot is actually progressing nicely. Gotta figure out some more stuff though, so I may be back with other questions.

ok here's the code

(Toggle Plain Text)

                            int removeSlot = 0;
                            for(int i = 0; i < botSetup.getUsers(); i++)
                            {
                                if(chatNick.equals(botSetup.getUserNick(i)))
                                {
                                    removeSlot = i;
                                }
                            }
                            botSetup.removeUser(removeSlot);

This code for some reason generates an IndexOutOfBoundsException so let me explain what each portion does.

Line 1: initializes an int called removeSlot to 0
Line 2: creates a for loop whose starting value is 0 and its upper value is determined by the method getUsers() which basically returns the size of an ArrayList, the for loop increases i by 1 each time.
Line 3: {
Line 4: an if statement that checks whether or not chatNick is equal to the string recovered from the ArrayList
Line 5: {
Line 6: removeSlot records the index at which this equality occurs
Line 7: }
Line 8: }
Line 9: the method removeUser(removeSlot) should remove the element at the given index. This is the problem statement. It is the one that generates the IndexOutOfBounds exception.

I've tried printing to the console each variable so as to determine where an error might occur, but all variables seem to be in accord. getUsers() indeed returned an value of 1 (the ArrayList only contains 1 object) and the index at which said object occurred was obviously 0.

Any ideas that could help me get this code working?

xavier · Mar 15th, 2006, 1:07 AM

Well if everything is as you say, the removeUser() method is not properly implemented. So, we should see that code.

2. : nothing to do with your problem : if you call botSetup.removeUser(removeSlot); won't it remove the first element of the arrayList even if : if(chatNick.equals(botSetup.getUserNick(i))) doesn't happen ?

grimpirate · Mar 15th, 2006, 1:17 AM

Yeah xavier I actually figured it out, the removeUser() method was referring to another array. I accidentally copy/pasted something and forgot to change the array it referenced, so problem solved and everything is in order now. Thanks for the input though.

Don't mention it

grimpirate · Mar 15th, 2006, 2:26 AM

Is there any way to get Java to read the contents of a folder? Obviously, I would provide the pathway to the folder (or at least I would imagine I would have to). But are there any classes in Java that allow for such a procedure? So for instance, I have a folder called 'contents' located in my C:\ drive. It contains five files: file1.txt, file2.txt, file3.txt, file4.txt, file5.txt. How would I go about reading the names of each of the files by specifying only the path to the folder? Is such a thing possible in Java?

xavier · Mar 15th, 2006, 2:49 AM

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/...a/io/File.html look at the list method

That was an easy one :p .. google helps

grimpirate · Mar 21st, 2006, 3:42 PM

The following class is a Thread which executes from another segment of code. The purpose of this Thread is to execute a DCC Send operation via IRC. For more info on the DCC protocol please read the following link. There the DCC protocol of IRC is explained.

As it stands, the run method does three things:
1 - Opens the file to send.
2 - Creates the sockets for the transaction.
3 - Creates the streams from the sockets for the transfer.

Here it is:

        }
        
        return true;
    }
}

I've tried sending data over the socket and sure enough some of it gets sent but not all, and apparently this file size indicator that they speak of in the DCC protocol I never receive. I've attempted it by creating a while loop and not only sending bytes if the buffer happens to read a number. Needless to say this has often turned into a non-terminating loop.

So, my problem is the following: can anyone show me or suggest some sort of way to finish the run() method off so that I can send a file and do all those things specified by the DCC Send method. Any help is appreciated.

P.S. Thanks for the help with the file question Xavier. I incorporated it and it worked out nicely.

jaeusm · Mar 21st, 2006, 4:24 PM

I've only quickly glanced at your code, and these are a few things I noticed. You should call the "flush()" method after "println()" when using a PrintWriter object. Since you are using the BufferedReader class, make sure that all information being received on it are readable characters. If not, you'll need to use an InputStream.

I accidentally copy/pasted something and forgot to change the array it referenced, so problem solved and everything is in order now. Thanks for the input though. __________________ Lo, there do I see my father. 'Lo, there do I see My mother, and my sisters, and my brothers. 'Lo, there do I see The line of my people...

Obviously, I would provide the pathway to the folder (or at least I would imagine I would have to). But are there any classes in Java that allow for such a procedure? So for instance, I have a folder called 'contents' located in my C:\ drive. It contains five files: file1.txt, file2.txt, file3.txt, file4.txt, file5.txt. How would I go about reading the names of each of the files by specifying only the path to the folder? Is such a thing possible in Java? __________________ Lo, there do I see my father.

The purpose of this Thread is to execute a DCC Send operation via IRC. For more info on the DCC protocol please read the following link. There the DCC protocol of IRC is explained. As it stands, the run method does three things: 1 - Opens the file to send. 2 - Creates the sockets for the transaction. 3 - Creates the streams from the sockets for the transfer. Here it is: (Toggle Plain Text) import java.net.ServerSocket; import java.net.Socket; import java.io.InputStreamReader; import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.DataOutputStream; import java.io.PrintWriter; import java.io.File; import java.io.RandomAccessFile; public class DCCSend extends Thread { // Nickname of user for send private String sendNick; private int sendPort; // Sockets and I/O streams private ServerSocket dccSendServerSocket = null;

System.err.println("Initiating " + sendNick + "'s send..."); boolean proceed = true;; RandomAccessFile dccFile = null; try { dccFile = new RandomAccessFile(new File(botSetup.getPath() + fileName), "r"); System.err.println("CLEAR: DCC Send file read"); } catch(Exception e) { System.err.println("ERROR: Failed to open file for DCC Send."); proceed = false; } if(proceed) { try { dccSendServerSocket = new ServerSocket(sendPort , 1); dccSendServerSocket.setSoTimeout(10000); ircSend("privmsg " + sendNick + " :\001DCC SEND " + fileName + " " + botSetup.getLocalHost() + " " + sendPort + " " + dccFile.length() + "\001"); dccSendSocket = dccSendServerSocket.accept(); dccSendServerSocket.close(); System.err.println("CLEAR: DCC Send socket"); } catch(Exception e) { System.err.println("ERROR: DCC sockets failed to engage"); proceed = false; } } if(proceed) { try { dccSendReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(dccSendSocket.getInputStream()));

// Attempt to send message try { ircStreamWriter.println(msg); } catch(Exception e) { System.err.println("ERROR: ircSend(" + msg + ")"); return false; } return true; } } I've tried sending data over the socket and sure enough some of it gets sent but not all, and apparently this file size indicator that they speak of in the DCC protocol I never receive. I've attempted it by creating a while loop and not only sending bytes if the buffer happens to read a number. Needless to say this has often turned into a non-terminating loop. So, my problem is the following: can anyone show me or suggest some sort of way to finish the run() method off so that I can send a file and do all those things specified by the DCC Send method. Any help is appreciated. P.S. Thanks for the help with the file question Xavier. I incorporated it and it worked out nicely. __________________ Lo, there do I see my father.

You should call the "flush()" method after "println()" when using a PrintWriter object. Since you are using the BufferedReader class, make sure that all information being received on it are readable characters. If not, you'll need to use an InputStream.
