I think echicken gave me what I ndde to make this happen, but I really need to take the time to learn the js language and re do the entire baja script. It is one of your older scripts, that has worked well for me, but

If your current script works and you've customized it over the years, there may not be a compelling reason to redo it in JS. Could be a lot of work for little benefit, taking the learning curve into account. Both languages are suitable for most simple BBS tasks.

If you want to learn JS, though, replicating one of your existing Baja modules in it is a good way to learn. In the long run it's a more useful language to know, makes a lot of tasks simpler, and enables some stuff that just can't be done in Baja.

I think I'm going to incorporate your fix into my present script, and get it working for now, as I'm pretty comfortable working with BAJA.

As soon as I get my current script going, and working, I think your idea about trying to redo it in js will help me learn the language, and I can take my time doing it. Right now, when I look at js, it just looks greek to me, at least with baja, I can somewhat follow what is going on. Thanks for your help ec.

If you do learn JavaScript, it might also help you understand other languages. C, Java, C#, and some other languages have a syntax that's similar to JavaScript (although slightly different). With each language, you'd have to learn its own libraries for what you want to do, but as far as the syntax, it's similar.

It is one of your older scripts, that has worked well for me, but I'm trying to update it a bit for my system. I've been updating it through the years to do things I want it to do, but I just could not figure out haw to make it compare a file entry to a result, even after reading the baja docs. Thanks for jumping in and replying.

is it a last callers mod?

Yes. it's the last version you had. I took it from there, and have updated throughout the years. I have it now doing just about everything I want. This last mod is to keep the same user from showing up if they log on and off the system alot of times in one session and fill up the screen with their name only.

i think you can check the ARS of U_LTODAY and have it display and not
write to the last calls based on how many logons that day.

Ok, thanks, I will see if I can figure that out.

but if you have it stop writing to the last callers, it really doesnt serve a purpose anymore.

My goal, if I can manupulate it is to still write it to another file called dupe.dat, that way I can still track all the callers, but the same name won't show to all the callers over and over again. It's still a work in progress. as I'm having to change the structure everytime I think of things I want it to do. I'll post the code if I'm successful :)
