I added a message option to send me an email everytime a new user was verified by the emailvar.js. It's working correctly, and I'm very satisfied with my efforts to make it work. The message it send to my email is as follows:

-+- Snipit ----
msgtxt = "New Member, Alias: " + user.alias + ", #: " + String(user.number) + ", Joined " + system.name + " Today " + (new Date());
-+- Snipit ----

expands as follows in the message:

New Member, Alias: Tuff, #: 191, Joined Valhalla Home Services Today Sun Jul 10 7:15:32

I would rather it to be somewhat like this:

New Member Joined Valhalla Home Services Today Sun Jul 10 7:15:32.

Alias: Tuff
Number: 191

Is there a way to do this. For the like of me, I can't find a way to do this formatting. I'm successful in doing it in one line, but I'm trying to learn more. Thanks in advance.

WOW, that was simple enough. I had no idea you could do it this way, but after looking at it, it makes perfect sense.

I wish there was a tips and tricks info site on js, that I could explore.

Thanks again for the assist.

var msg = [

"",
"Alias: " + user.alias,

I decided to go with this below. Since it was your program "emailval.js" to begin with, I wanted a simple way of sending the sysop a message letting him/her that a new user had joined, and was validated. This gives me a quick snapshot of their info. I know it's overkill, but at least it gives me an idea whats going on without having to real logs. In time, I'll add to it those users that failed the validation process.

msgbase = new MsgBase("mail");
if(msgbase.open()==false) {
log(LOG_ERR,"!ERROR " + msgbase.error);
return(false);
}

hdr = {
to: system.operator,
to_ext: "1",
from: user.alias,
from_ext: String(user.number),
attr: MSG_KILLREAD,
subject: "New Member To " + system.name + "!"
};

msgtxt = "New Member Joined " + system.name + " On " + new Date() + ".\r\n";
msgtxt += "\r\n Name & Alias..: " + "Alias: " + user.alias + ", " + " Real Name: " + user.name;
msgtxt += "\r\n Number........: " + user.number;
msgtxt += "\r\n Handle........: " + user.handle;
msgtxt += "\r\n Birthdate.....: " + user.birthmonth + "/" + user.birthday + "/" + user.birthyear;
msgtxt += "\r\n Location......: " + user.location;
msgtxt += "\r\n IP Address....: " + user.ip_address;
msgtxt += "\r\n Email Address.: " + user.netmail;
msgtxt += "\r\n Gender (M/F/X): " + user.gender;
msgtxt += "\r\n";

var result = msgbase.save_msg(hdr, msgtxt);
if(!result)
log(LOG_ERR, "!ERROR " + msgbase.error + " saving mail message");

msgbase.close();
return result;

readability is a thing...

> msgtxt += "\r\n Name & Alias..: " + "Alias: " + user.alias + ", " + " Real Name: " + user.name;

> msgtxt += "\r\n Gender (M/F/X): " + user.gender;
> msgtxt += "\r\n";

while the above is easy to read, i expect the EOL sequences to be at the end of the line... for blank lines, i place the EOL sequence on a line by itself... the above i would write like this...

msgtxt = "New Member Joined " + system.name + " On " + new Date() + ".\r\n";
msgtxt += "\r\n";
msgtxt += " Name & Alias..: " + "Alias: " + user.alias + ", " + " Real Name: " + user.name + "\r\n";
msgtxt += " Number........: " + user.number + "\r\n";
msgtxt += " Handle........: " + user.handle + "\r\n";
msgtxt += " Birthdate.....: " + user.birthmonth + "/" + user.birthday + "/" + user.birthyear + "\r\n";
msgtxt += " Location......: " + user.location + "\r\n";
msgtxt += " IP Address....: " + user.ip_address + "\r\n";
msgtxt += " Email Address.: " + user.netmail + "\r\n";
msgtxt += " Gender (M/F/X): " + user.gender + "\r\n";
msgtxt += "\r\n";

this makes it much easier to see each output line in the code... hopefully wrapping won't fark it up too badly...

Ra> readability is a thing...

I do understand what you are saying, and there are different ways to acheve the same thing. I see what you did in your scenaro, and I agree it will work, but the way I did it works also. It's just a matter of working style. I can read both ways equally as well, and know what is going on. On my final code, I always put notes in the file to refresh my memory as to what the code was supposed to do, so after time, I won't have to figure it out again. I do find sometimes, after time, I didlike what I do, and go back and change it or tweak it a bit. All and all, the most important thing is, is that it works without undue stress on the system.

I do appreciate your input, as I'm still learning, and evey comment does help. Thanks
