Hello. How i can preg_match message - example:
🎥 Today in Cinema

Code:

preg_match("🎥", $text , $matches);

and execute command or simple my code?

I do KinoCommand.php - but button's not beaty if set command (/kinotoday, /kinotomorrow and etc).

I set privacy off.

If I understand correctly you want to execute a command when someone message contains this emoji?

preg_match expects regex.

$message = $this->getMessage();

if (strpos($message, "🎥") !== false) {
    return $this->getTelegram()->executeCommand("kino");
}

Is this what you want?

[CB9TOIIIA]

Yes - i correct ')' in preg_match, but no work:

```

namespace Longman\TelegramBot\Commands\SystemCommands;

use Longman\TelegramBot\Conversation;
use Longman\TelegramBot\Request;
use Longman\TelegramBot\Commands\SystemCommand;

/**

}

public function execute()
{
    //If a conversation is busy, execute the conversation command after handling the message
    $conversation = new Conversation(
        $this->getMessage()->getFrom()->getId(),
        $this->getMessage()->getChat()->getId()
    );
    //Fetch conversation command if it exists and execute it
    if ($conversation->exists() && ($command = $conversation->getCommand())) {
        return $this->telegram->executeCommand($command);
    }

    $message = $this->getMessage();

    if (preg_match("test", $message)) {
      return $this->getTelegram()->executeCommand("help");
    }

    return Request::emptyResponse();
}

}
```

[CB9TOIIIA]

if (preg_match("test", $message)) {
          return $this->getTelegram()->executeCommand("help");
        }

and I tested - not work:

 $message = $this->getMessage();

        if ($message == 'test') {
          return $this->getTelegram()->executeCommand("help");
        }

[thebigsmileXD]

if (preg_match("🎥", $message) {

It could be that php doesn't check the charset. its utf8mb4 as far as i remember from my chat script.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16496554/can-php-detect-4-byte-encoded-utf8-chars
EDIT: yes, i know its related to mysql and you dont use it, but it could be a point still

Another EDIT;
could you please tell us what
$message = $this->getMessage(); var_dump($message); if ($message == 'test') { return $this->getTelegram()->executeCommand("help"); }
says?

[jacklul]

Try using strpos instead. https://github.com/akalongman/php-telegram-bot/issues/390#issuecomment-272930814

[noplanman]

Absolutely go for strpos, nothing with regex for something this simple.

Have you tried it?

Also, to get the actual text of the message, you need to do:

$text = trim($this->getMessage()->getText(true));

[CB9TOIIIA]

I try your code, but not work it :sob:

GenericmessageCommand.php

I tested this - not work:

    public function execute()
    {
        //If a conversation is busy, execute the conversation command after handling the message
        $conversation = new Conversation(
            $this->getMessage()->getFrom()->getId(),
            $this->getMessage()->getChat()->getId()
        );
        //Fetch conversation command if it exists and execute it
        if ($conversation->exists() && ($command = $conversation->getCommand())) {
            return $this->telegram->executeCommand($command);
        }

        $text = trim($this->getMessage->getText(true));
        $chat_id = $this->getMessage()->getChat()->getId();

        if (strpos($text, "test") !== false) {

            $text = PHP_EOL . 'TEST MESSAGE TEST';
            $data = [
                'chat_id' => $chat_id,
                'text'    => $text,
            ];

            return Request::sendMessage($data);

        }

        return Request::emptyResponse();
    }

}

Try this - not work for me:

        $text = trim($this->getMessage->getText(true));

        if ($text == "test") {
            return $this->getTelegram()->executeCommand("help");

        }

And this - not work:

    public function execute()
    {
        //If a conversation is busy, execute the conversation command after handling the message
        $conversation = new Conversation(
            $this->getMessage()->getFrom()->getId(),
            $this->getMessage()->getChat()->getId()
        );
        //Fetch conversation command if it exists and execute it
        if ($conversation->exists() && ($command = $conversation->getCommand())) {
            return $this->telegram->executeCommand($command);
        }

$message = $this->getMessage();

if (strpos($message, "🎥") !== false) {
    return $this->getTelegram()->executeCommand("kino");
}

        return Request::emptyResponse();

    }

Privacy mode - off. What I can do? please :sad:

[noplanman]

My mistake, it should be:

$text = trim($this->getMessage()->getText(true));
if ($text == "test") {
    return $this->getTelegram()->executeCommand("help");
}

Forgot the () after getMessage.

Try again please.

[CB9TOIIIA]

I try:

    public function execute()
    {
        //If a conversation is busy, execute the conversation command after handling the message
        $conversation = new Conversation(
            $this->getMessage()->getFrom()->getId(),
            $this->getMessage()->getChat()->getId()
        );
        //Fetch conversation command if it exists and execute it
        if ($conversation->exists() && ($command = $conversation->getCommand())) {
            return $this->telegram->executeCommand($command);
        }

$text = trim($this->getMessage()->getText(true));
if ($text == "test") {
    return $this->getTelegram()->executeCommand("help");
}

        return Request::emptyResponse();

    }

}

but, not work :-1: I sad :smile_cat: It's real do this?

[noplanman]

Do you get any output?

Instead of just returning an empty response, try this at the end:

      return Request::sendMessage([
          'chat_id' => $this->getMessage()->getChat()->getId(),
          'text'    => $text,
      ]);

That should simply echo any input. Does this work?

Also, do you have the error log enabled? If so, check if there is something of interest there.

[CB9TOIIIA]

Nothing.

I set:

    // Error, Debug and Raw Update logging
    Longman\TelegramBot\TelegramLog::initialize($your_external_monolog_instance);
    Longman\TelegramBot\TelegramLog::initErrorLog(__DIR__ . '/' . $BOT_NAME . '_error.log');
    Longman\TelegramBot\TelegramLog::initDebugLog(__DIR__ . '/' . $BOT_NAME . '_debug.log');
    Longman\TelegramBot\TelegramLog::initUpdateLog(__DIR__ . '/' . $BOT_NAME . '_update.log');

When not using DB you must place the code in executeNoDb() function, not execute() in GenericmessageCommand.

[noplanman]

Also, it seems you're editing the GenericmessageCommand.php file directly in the library, which is a bad idea, as it gets overwritten with updates.
Instead, create a new directory somewhere in your project and put the file in there, then add that folder as a commands path with $telegram->addCommandsPath($commands_path);, which you can find commented out in your hook.php file.
