Getting Started
The Bots default commands are in commands.sh. Do not edit this file! Instead copy mycommands.sh.clean to mycommands.sh and place you commands there.
Have a look at mycommands.sh.dist for examples on how to write commands or overwrite existing ones. See Best practices for more information.
Once you're done with editing run the Bot with ./bashbot.sh start. To stop running the Bot use ./bashbot.sh stop
If something doesn't work as expected, 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 source. see Expert Use
Have FUN!

Receive data
Evertime a Telegram update is received, you can read incoming data using the following variables:
In case you need other update values, the array UPD contains complete Telegram response.
Regular Messages
These Variables are always present in regular messages:
${MESSAGE}: Current message text${MESSAGE[ID]}: ID of current message$USER: This array contains the First name, last name, username and user id of the sender of the current message.${USER[ID]}: User id${USER[FIRST_NAME]}: User's first name${USER[LAST_NAME]}: User's last name${USER[USERNAME]}: Username
$CHAT: This array contains the First name, last name, username, title and user id of the chat of the current message.${CHAT[ID]}: Chat id${CHAT[FIRST_NAME]}: Chat's first name${CHAT[LAST_NAME]}: Chat's last name${CHAT[USERNAME]}: Username${CHAT[TITLE]}: Title${CHAT[TYPE]}: Type${CHAT[ALL_MEMBERS_ARE_ADMINISTRATORS]}: All members are administrators (true if true)
The following variables are set if the message contains optional parts:
$REPLYTO: Original message which was replied to$REPLYTO: This array contains the First name, last name, username and user id of the ORIGINAL sender of the message REPLIED to.${REPLYTO[ID]}: ID of message which was replied to${REPLYTO[UID]}: Original user's id${REPLYTO[FIRST_NAME]}: Original user's first name${REPLYTO[LAST_NAME]}: Original user's' last name${REPLYTO[USERNAME]}: Original user's username
$FORWARD: This array contains the First name, last name, username and user id of the ORIGINAL sender of the FORWARDED message.${FORWARD[ID]}: Same as MESSAGE[ID] if message is forwarded${FORWARD[UID]}: Original user's id${FORWARD[FIRST_NAME]}: Original user's first name${FORWARD[LAST_NAME]}: Original user's' last name${FORWARD[USERNAME]}: Original user's username
$CAPTION: Picture, Audio, Video, File Captions$URLS: This array contains documents, audio files, voice recordings and stickers as URL.${URLS[AUDIO]}: Audio files${URLS[VIDEO]}: Videos${URLS[PHOTO]}: Photos (maximum quality)${URLS[VOICE]}: Voice recordings${URLS[STICKER]}: Stickers${URLS[DOCUMENT]}: Any other file
$CONTACT: This array contains info about contacts sent in a chat.${CONTACT[ID]}: User id${CONTACT[NUMBER]}: Phone number${CONTACT[FIRST_NAME]}: First name${CONTACT[LAST_NAME]}: Last name${CONTACT[VCARD]}: User's complete Vcard
$LOCATION: This array contains info about locations sent in a chat.${LOCATION[LONGITUDE]}: Longitude${LOCATION[LATITUDE]}: Latitude

Service Messages
Service Messages are regular messages not itended for end users, instead they signal special events to the client, e.g. new users.
If a service message is received bashbot sets MESSAGE to the service message type as a command, e.g. if a new user joins a chat MESSAGE is set to "/_new_chat_user".
$SERVICE: This array contains info about received service messages.${SERVICE}: "yes" if service message is received${SERVICE[NEWMEMBER]}}: New user's id${MESSAGE}: /_new_chat_member ID NAME${NEWMEMBER[ID]}: New user's id${NEWMEMBER[FIRST_NAME]}: New user's first name${NEWMEMBER[LAST_NAME]}: New user's last name${NEWMEMBER[USERNAME]}: New user's username${NEWMEMBER[ISBOT]}: New user is a bot

Inline query messages
Inline query messages are small, non regular messages used for interaction with the user, they contain the following variables only:
${iQUERY}: Current inline query$iQUERY: This array contains the ID, First name, last name, username and user id of the sender of the current inline query.${iQUERY[ID]}: Inline query ID${iQUERY[USER_ID]}: User's id${iQUERY[FIRST_NAME]}: User's first name${iQUERY[LAST_NAME]}: User's last name
Send data / get response
After every send_xxx get_xxx call the array BOTSENT contains the most important values from Telegram response.
In case you need other response values , the array UPD contains complete Telegram response.
BOTSENT array
$BOTSENT: This array contains the parsed results from the last transmission to telegram.${BOTSENT[OK]}: contains the stringtrue: after a successful transmission${BOTSENT[ID]}: Message ID of sent message, image, file etc., if OK is true${BOTSENT[FILE_ID]}: unique identifier returned for an uploaded file or URL${BOTSENT[FILE_TYPE]}: file type: photo, audio, video, sticker, voice, document
Usage of bashbot functions
sending messages
To send messages use the send_xxx_messagefunctions.
To insert line brakes in a message place \n in the text.
To send regular text without any markdown use:
send_normal_message "${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 forwardfunction:
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 "${CHAT[ID]}" "lol" "safe"
See also Interactive chats
Send files, locations, keyboards.
To send local files or URL's (photo, video, voice, sticker, documents) use the send_file function.
send_file "${CHAT[ID]}" "/home/user/dog.jpg" "Lool" "photo"
send_file "${CHAT[ID]}" "https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81DQ0FpoSNL._AC_SL1500_.jpg"
To send custom keyboards use the send_keyboardfunction:
send_keyboard "${CHAT[ID]}" "Text that will appear in chat?" '[ "Yep" , "No" ]' # note the single quotes!
send_keyboard "${CHAT[ID]}" "Text that will appear in chat?" "[ \\"Yep\\" , \\"No\\" ]" # within double quotes you must escape the inside double quots
To send locations use the send_locationfunction:
send_location "${CHAT[ID]}" "Latitude" "Longitude"
To send venues use the send_venuefunction:
send_venue "${CHAT[ID]}" "Latitude" "Longitude" "Title" "Address" "optional foursquare id"
To send a chat action use the send_actionfunction.
Allowed values: typing for text messages, upload_photo for photos, record_video or upload_video for videos, record_audio or upload_audio for audio files, upload_document for general files, find_location for locations.
send_action "${CHAT[ID]}" "action"
