Now, forgive me, but I more or less have no idea what that is doing.
My goal is to do something similiar to what this normal irc remote script will do, but with ii
Basically, whenever someone says a trigger in a particular channel, it will message a nickname with that entire line.
The channel output is stored in a file named "out". When the trigger is stated, I'd need the name of the person who said it along with the entire line of what they said (containing the trigger as well) sent to "in" along with the command to private message it.
Is that possible with ii, from what you can see?

To add some clarification .....
I need to tail a particular file which is essentially a log file. Whenever I see my name, I want it to copy that entire line to a different file.
I figure I will have to use awk to do this, but beyond that I am completely lost.
That should only display things that have the trigger word in them (entire line, right?).
How can I then take that line, store it to a variable, then send some text, then the variable, to another file?

I'm not surprised you can't make heads or tails of that channel-spamming code. It is pretty awful.
Of all that code you posted, not one bit shows how anything's fed into ii however, so I'm almost as confused as you are. I can only guess that ii runs scripts, rather than scripts running ii...
Really at this point (in reference to how ii works), I just need ways to manipulate log files.
There's an in and out file for each server / channel / person, separated by folders for each. So what I need to do is take the file
~/irc/servername/channelname/out
and monitor for the trigger word(s).
I then need to take that entire line of text and hopefully put it in a variable.
I then need to have the following sent to ~/irc/servername/in
/privmsg my_nickname [stored string of data from above]
Does that kind of clear things up a little, as far as how ii works and what I'm attempting to do?
My ultimate goal is to be able to start the file/bash script and be able to close out of the ssh session to the pogoplug while keeping this running so I can leave it idling as a bot in the room.

Howdy folks,
I'm trying to craft a log file summarisation tool for an application that creates a lot of duplicate entries with only a different suffix to indicate point of execution. I thought I'd gotten close but I'm clearly missing something.
Here's a genericized version:

Note : There is no newline character in the file. I have manually inserted the newline char to make it easy to understand.

I need to write two shell scripts for an rsync backup solution. The first script will copy all backed up files into a folder named after the original folder, plus a date stamp (so e.g. if the original folder name is 'foo' and is backed up on the 10th of September, then the backup folder will be...
