Hi,

So a few years back I got help to make this command called !puns, basically it just picks a random one from a Pastebin and it used to be fine and work and all was good. However, I added some new things to the list and now only comes back as "unexpected identifier".

The API is as follows:
$(eval pun='$(urlfetch json https://pastebin.com/raw/vCnLsWkA)'.split('');pun[Math.floor(Math.random()pun.length)])

I can't tell you what everything does as I got help but if anyone can help get it working again it would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Hey @Brisk Peacock!

You must have copied it to a word processing software and it changed your quotation marks from ' to ’, your code can't work because ’ isn't recognized by Javascript as a quotation mark, the three types that are allowed are: ``"'```.

So by simply replacing your quote marks with proper ones, that'll fix it:

$(eval pun=`$(urlfetch json https://pastebin.com/raw/vCnLsWkA)`.split(`*`);pun[Math.floor(Math.random()*pun.length)])
