The last message I've seen in here were the echo rules being posted last September 1. Is the echo still going?

It's still connected... not much activity though. Need some help?

Take care,

Not right now, thankfully, but was just going through my message bases and noticed that I hadn't seen any messages. :)

I did rewrite my "The Magic Oracle" door as a bash script though (to keep on-topic).

The "answers" themselves are in a separate text file but here's the script:

=== Cut ===
#!/bin/bash
FILE=answers.dat
if [ ! -f "$FILE" ]
then
echo "ANSWERS.DAT not found!"
echo "Program aborting."
exit 1
fi

clear
# Echoed in light green
echo -e "\e[92mThe Magic Oracle/BASH"
echo -e "\e[36mWritten by and (C)2017 Sean Dennis."
echo
echo -e "\e[96mWhat is your question for the Oracle?\e[37m"
read QUESTION
echo
echo -e "\e[92mYour question was:"
echo -e "\e[37m$QUESTION"
echo
echo -e "\e[95mAfter consulting the Oracle, his answer is...\e[33m"

# Pick and display a random line in ANSWERS.DAT.
sort --random-sort $FILE | head -n 1
echo -e "\e[39m"
=== Cut ===

That's all, folks!

As far as I know yes; this isn't one of the echoes I moderate. :)
