Long story short, I have a feed.txt file I want to read that looks something like this

I want each article to be posted to discord as a separate message when the user types in !post_feed

I couldn't get it working so I made a split.py file to split each article into individual files 1.txt, 2,txt, 3.txt so forth in a folder called articles. Then was trying to send each one of those as an individual message. Still no luck.
The best I got was ['Found file: 1.txt', 'Found file: 2.txt']

If anyone knows a simpler way of doing this, that would be fucking fantastic.


My current setup is:
#The only thing you should need to edit is bot.py TOKEN = 'TOKENGOESHERE'


main.py

Code

import bot

if __name__ == '__main__':
    bot.run_discord_bot()

bot.py

Code

import discord
import responses


async def send_message(message, user_message, is_private):
    try:
        response = responses.get_response(user_message)
        await message.author.send(response) if is_private else await message.channel.send(response)

    except Exception as e:
        print(e)


def run_discord_bot():
    TOKEN = 'TOKENGOESHERE'
    intents = discord.Intents.default()
    intents.message_content = True
    client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

    @client.event
    async def on_ready():
        print(f'{client.user} is now running!')

    @client.event
    async def on_message(message):
        if message.author == client.user:
            return

        username = str(message.author)
        user_message = str(message.content)
        channel = str(message.channel)

        print(f'{username} said: "{user_message}" ({channel})')

        if user_message[0] == '?':
            user_message = user_message[1:]
            await send_message(message, user_message, is_private=True)
        else:
            await send_message(message, user_message, is_private=False)

    client.run(TOKEN)

responses.py

Code

import os
import random
from typing import List

def get_response(message: str) -> List[str]:
    p_message = message.lower()

    if p_message == '!post_feed':
        articles_dir = './articles'  # Update this with the path to your articles folder
        articles = os.listdir(articles_dir)

        # Create a list of file names
        file_names = [f"Found file: {file_name}" for file_name in articles]

        # Return the list of file names
        return file_names
    else:
        # Return a default response if the command is not recognized
        return ['Sorry, I didn\'t understand that command.']
responses = [response for response in get_response('!post_feed')]

So now it's posting all the articles at once? How many articles are you trying to display by the way? I could take a look at the code if you'd like and if you can show me an example of the output it's giving you on Discord I could see if I could help out in some way. I won't be on PC for a bit but I can still take a look without running it.

I have updated the post to include everything needed to see how I am running it. Let me know if you can see an easy fix for it.

Just saw! I'll take a look in a bit.

Got it working with this:

if not os.path.exists('feed.txt'):
    print('feed.txt file not found')
    sys.exit()

# remove the articles folder if it already exists
if os.path.exists('articles'):
    shutil.rmtree('articles')

# create a folder to store the articles
os.makedirs('articles')

# read the feed.txt file
with open('feed.txt', 'r') as f:
    # split the file contents into articles
    articles = f.read().split('\n\n')

    # iterate over each article and save it to a file
    for i, article in enumerate(articles):
        # create a new file for the article
        filename = f'articles/{i+1}.txt'
        with open(filename, 'w') as article_file:
            # add ``` to the start of the file
            article_file.write('```\n')
            # write the article to the file
            article_file.write(article)
            # add ``` to the end of the file
            article_file.write('\n```')
