Grabbing Quotes from Pastebin!

[vinoh]

I was looking for simple quote system pulled out from pastebin.com, for an example using this link(https://pastebin.com/raw/yyUZkteW). Doing !quote #2, pulling out the “I’m now on the mode I’m at” ~ Stan [16.3.2017], [Csgo] to the chat and also if someone types !quote alone can it generate random quotes out of the list!

Thank you.

Looking at this paste, you would have to write up a script with a complex regular expression (search pattern) that tells the bot where each quote starts and ends.

---

You can avoid that by writing the paste such that the quotes are stored in an array. Look at this example paste used for a trivia command: https://pastebin.com/56L5nKLE

Notice the important aspects of the array:

1. The paste starts and ends with square brackets.
2. The quotes are separated by commas.
3. Each quote is bounded by backticks.

Once you’ve created a paste that reflects these aspects, you can copy and paste the following command setup:

!addcom -cd=5 !quote $(eval a=$(urlfetch json https://pastebin.com/raw/YOURLINK);a[parseInt(decodeURIComponent(`$(querystring)`))-1]||a[Math.floor(Math.random()*a.length)])

Replace https://pastebin.com/raw/YOURLINK with your raw paste link.

This command will output the quote at the specified index if the user provides a number, and will output a random quote if there is no input or the input is a number that doesn’t make sense (ie. the number is greater than the array length or is less than 1).
