Gettting Started
The Bots standard commands are in commands.sh file. You must not add your commands to 'commands.sh', instead place them in mycommands.sh, there you also find examples how to process messages and send out text. See Best practices for more information.
Once you're done with editing 'mycommands.sh' start the Bot with ./bashbot.sh start.
To stop the Bot run ./bashbot.sh kill
If some thing doesn't work as it should, you can debug with ./bashbot.sh startbot DEBUG where DEBUG can be 'debug', 'xdebug' or 'xdebugx'.
See Bashbot Development for more information.
To use the functions provided in this script in other scripts simply source bashbot: source bashbot.sh

Usage of bashbot functions
sending messages
To send messages use the send_xxx_message functions.
To send regular text without any markdown use:
send_text_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "lol"
To send text with markdown:
send_markdown_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "lol *bold*"
To send text with html:
send_html_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "lol <b>bold</b>"
To forward messages use the forward function:
forward "${CHAT[ID]}" "from_chat_id" "message_id"
If your Bot is Admin in a Chat you can delete every message, if not you can delete only your messages. To delete a message with a known ${MESSAGE[ID]} you can simple use:
delete_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "${MESSAGE[ID]}"
send_message
In addition there is a universal send_massage function which can output any type of message.
This function is used to process output from external scrips like interactive chats or background jobs.
For safety and performance reasons I recommend to use send_xxxx_message functions above for sending messages
send_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "lol"
To send html or markdown put the following strings before the text, depending on the parsing mode you want to enable:
send_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "markdown_parse_mode lol *bold*"
send_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "html_parse_mode lol <b>bold</b>"
This function also allows a third parameter that disables additional function parsing (for safety use this when reprinting user input):
send_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "lol" "safe"
See also Interactive chats
Send files, locations, keyboards.
To send images, videos, voice files, photos etc. use the send_photo function (remember to change the safety Regex @ line 14 of command.sh to allow sending files only from certain directories):
send_file "${CHAT[ID]}" "/home/user/doge.jpg" "Lool"
To send custom keyboards use the send_keyboard function:
send_keyboard "${CHAT[ID]}" "Text that will appear in chat?" '[ "Yep" , "No" ]' # note the simgle quotes!
send_keyboard "${CHAT[ID]}" "Text that will appear in chat?" "[ \\"Yep\\" , \\"No\\" ]" # within double quotes you must excape the inside double quots
To send locations use the send_location function:
send_location "${CHAT[ID]}" "Latitude" "Longitude"
To send venues use the send_venue function:
send_venue "${CHAT[ID]}" "Latitude" "Longitude" "Title" "Address" "optional foursquare id"
To send a chat action use the send_action function.
Allowed values: typing for text messages, upload_photo for photos, record_video or upload_video for videos, record_audio or upload_audio for audio files, upload_document for general files, find_location for locations.
send_action "${CHAT[ID]}" "action"
