send_message
send_message
sends any type of message to the given chat. Type of output is steered by keywords within the message.

usage: send_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "message"
example: - see Usage and Advanced Usage
File, Location, Venue, Keyboard
send_file
send_file allows you to send different type's of files, e.g. photos, stickers, audio, media, etc. see more
Starting with version 0.80 send_file implements the following rules:
- file names must not contain ".."
- file names must not start with "."
- file names not starting wit "/" are realtive to $TMPDIR, e.g. ./data-bot-bash
- abolute filenames must match $FILE_REGEX
- FILE_REGEX is a regular expression, not shell globbing, test you rexexes: http://www.softlion.com/webTools/RegExpTest/
usage: send_file "${CHAT[ID]}" "file" "caption"

- yes no in two rows:
- OLD format: 'yes' 'no' (two strings)
- NEW format: '[ "yes" ] , [ "no" ]' (two arrays with a string)
- new layouts made easy with NEW format:
- Yes No in one row: '[ "yes" , "no" ]'
- Yes No plus Maybe in 2.row: '[ "yes" , "no" ] , [ "maybe" ]'
- numpad style keyboard: '[ "1" , "2" , "3" ] , [ "4" , "5" , "6" ] , [ "7" , "8" , "9" ] , [ "0" ]'
usage: send_keyboard "chat-id" "message" "keyboard"

Inline Queries - answer direct queries to bot
Inline Queries allows users to interact with your bot directly without sending extra commands. As an answer to an inline query you can send back one or more results to the Telegram client. The Telegram client will then show the results to the user and let him select one.
answer_inline_query
answer_inline_query is provided for backward compatibility with older versions of bashbot. It send back only one response to an inline query.
usage: answer_inline_query "$i{QUERY[ID]}" "type" "type arg 1" ... "type arg n"
example: - see Advanced Usage
answer_inline_multi
anser_inline_multi allows you to send back a list of responses. responses must be seperated by ','.
usage: answer_inline_multi "${iQUERY[ID]}" "res, res, ... res"
example:
# note the starting " and ending " !!
answer_inline_multi "${iQUERY[ID]}" "
$(inline_query_compose "1" "photo" "https://avatars0.githubusercontent.com/u/13046303") ,
...
$(inline_query_compose "n" "photo" "https://avatars1.githubusercontent.com/u/4593242")
"
inline_query_compose
inline_query_compose composes one response element to to send back.
usage: inline_query_compose ID type args ....
ID = unique ID for this response, 1-64 byte long
type = type of answer, e.g. article, photo, video, location ...
args = mandatory arguments in the order they are described in telegram documentation
Currently the following types and arguments are implemented (optional arguments in parenthesis)
"article"|"message" title message (parse_mode description)
"photo" photo_URL (thumb_URL title description caption parse_mode keyboard)
"gif" photo_URL (thumb_URL title caption parse_mode keyboard)
"mpeg4_gif" mpeg_URL (thumb_URL title caption parse_mode keyboard)
"video" video_URL mime_type thumb_URL title (caption parse_mode keyboard)
"audio" audio_URL title (caption parse_mode keyboard)
"voice" voice_URL title (caption parse_mode keyboard)
"document" title document_URL mime_type (caption description parse_mode)
"location" latitude longitude title
"venue" latitude longitude title (adress foursquare)
"contact" phone first (last thumb)
"cached_photo" file (title description caption parse_mode keyboard)
"cached_gif" file (title caption parse_mode keyboard)
"cached_mpeg4_gif" file (title caption parse_mode keyboard)
"cached_sticker" file (keyboard)
"cached_document" title file (description caption description parse_mode keyboard)
"cached_video" file title (description caption description parse_mode keyboard)
"cached_voice" file title (caption parse_mode keyboard)
"cached_audio" file title (caption parse_mode keyboard)
see InlineQueryResult for more information about response types and their arguments.
Background and Interactive jobs
Background functions and interactive jobs extends the bot functionality to not only react to user input. You can start scripts for interative chats and send messages based on time or other external events.
start_proc
startproc
starts a script, the output of the script is sent to the user or chat, user input will be sent back to the script. see Advanced Usage
usage: start_proc "${CHAT[ID]}" "script"
alias: startproc "script"
example:
startproc 'examples/calc.sh'
check_proc
Return true (0) if an interactive script is running in the chat.
usage: check_prog "${CHAT[ID]}"
alias: checkprog
example:
if ! check_proc "${CHAT[ID]}" ; then
startproc "examples/calc.sh"
else
send_normal_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "Calc already running ..."
fi
kill_proc
Kill the interactive script running in the chat
usage: kill_proc "${CHAT[ID]}"
alias: killproc
example:
if check_proc "${CHAT[ID]}" ; then
killproc && send_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "Command canceled."
else
send_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "Command is not running."
fi
start_back
Starts a script as a background job and attaches a jobname to it. All output from a background job is sent to the associated chat.
In contrast to interactive chats, background jobs do not recieve user input and can run forever. In addition you can suspend and restart running jobs, e.g. after reboot.
usage: start_back "${CHAT[ID]}" "script" "jobname"
alias: background "script" "jobname"
example:
background "examples/notify.sh" "notify"
check_back
Return true (0) if an background job is active in the given chat.
usage: check_back "${CHAT[ID]}" "jobname"
alias: checkback "jobname"
example:
if ! checkback "notify" ; then
send_normal_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "Start notify"
background "examples/notify.sh" "notify"
else
send_normal_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "Process notify already running."
fi
kill_back
usage: kill_back "${CHAT[ID]}" "jobname"
alias: killback "jobname"
example:
checkback "notify"
if [ "$res" -eq 0 ] ; then
send_normal_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "Kill notify"
killback "notify"
else
send_normal_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "Process notify not run."
fi
send_interactive
Form version 0.80 on forward_message is used to forward messages to interactive job. It replaces the old 'inproc' commands used for TMUX. Usually message is automatically forwarded in 'commands.sh', but you can forward messages wihle processing also or send your own messages.
usage: send_interactive "${CHAT[ID]}" "message"
replaces:' incproc
jsshDB
Since output generated by JSON.sh is so handy to use in bash, we use the format for a simple keys/value storage and providing fucntions to read and write JSON.sh style data from and to files. The file extions is '.jssh' and for security reasons location of jssh files is restricted to BASHBOT_ETC.
Note: File names containg '..' and absolute file names pointing outside BASHBOT_ETC are refused by jsshDB functions.
Example: for file name:
# bashbot is installed in /usr/local/telegram-bot-bash, BASHBOT_ETC is not set.
"myfile" -> /usr/local/telegram-bot-bash/myfile.jssh
"addons/myfile" -> /usr/local/telegram-bot-bash/addons/myfile.jssh
"${DATADIR}/myfile" -> /usr/local/telegram-bot-bash/data-bot-bash/myfile.jssh
"/home/someuser/myfile" -> function returns false, nothing done.
jssh_newDB
Creats new empty jsshDB file if not exist.
usage: jssh_newDB "filename"
jssh_checkDB
Check if DB name respects the rules mentioned above and returns the real/final path to DB file. Used internally by all jssh DB functions, but can also used to get the real filename for a jssh DB.
usage: jssh_checkDB "filename"
if file=$(jssh_checkDB somename); then
echo "Final filename is ${file}"
else
echo "Something wrong with somename"
fi
# somename = data-bot-bash/somevalues
Final filename is data-bot-bash/somevalues.jssh
# somename = /home/someuser/myfile
Something wrong with /home/someuser/myfile
# somename = data-bot-bash/../../../somevalues
Something wrong with data-bot-bash/../../../somevalues
jssh_readDB
Read content of a .jssh file in JSON.sh format into given ARRAY. ARRAY name must be delared with "declare -A ARRAY" before calling readDB.
usage: jssh_readDB "ARRAY" "filename"
example:
# read file data-bot-bash/somevalues.jssh into array SOMEVALUES
jssh_readDB "SOMEVALUES" "${DATADIR:-.}/somevalues"
print "${SOMEVALUES[*]}"

example:
# Prepare array to store vaules
declare -A WRITEVALUES
WRITEVALUES["value1"]="example"
WRITEVALUES["value2"]="a value"
WRITEVALUES["whynot","subindex1"]="whynot A"
WRITEVALUES["whynot","subindex2"]="whynot B"
WRITEVALUES["whynot","subindex2","text"]="This is an example content for pseudo multidimensional bash array"
# create DB
jssh_newDB "${DATADIR:-.}/myvalues"
# write to file data-bot-bash/somevalues.jssh from array MYVALUES
jssh_writeDB "WRITEVALUES" "${DATADIR:-}/myvalues"
# show whats written
cat "${DATADIR:-}/myvalues.jssh"
["value1"] "example"
["value2"] "a value"
["whynot","subindex2","text"] "This is an example content for pseudo multidimensional bash array"
["whynot","subindex2"] "whynot B"
["whynot","subindex1"] "whynot A"```
jssh_updateDB
Update/Add content of an ARRAY into a jsshDB file. ARRAY name must be delared with "declare -A ARRAY" before calling updateDB. "DB" file MUST exist or nothing is written.
Note: Existing content not in ARRAY is kept in file.
usage: jssh_updateDB "ARRAY" "filename"
example:
# continued example from writeDB
MYVALUES=()
MYVALUES["newvalue"]="this is new"
# update file data-bot-bash/somevalues.jssh from array MYVALUES
jssh_updateDB "MYVALUES" "${DATADIR:-.}/myvalues"
# show whats written
["value1"] "value1"
["loveit"] "value2"
