WELCOME!

@OldWizard209 hmm it updates for me and only me and moderators can delete the text

that doesn't change the fact that it is unsafe and not a way to make a chat. Also the mods are manually deleting text from the file....... @JWZ6

@JWZ6 heard of console?

@OldWizard209 well we clear it in case it gets a bit too long

@FlaminHotValdez yup

@JWZ6 that's the point, you can use the console to completely delete the chat

@JWZ6 Yet another flaw in the system-what if somebody wants to see earlier chat messages? You can't because the entire file has been deleteed

@OldWizard209 I 100% agree with you, this is way over advertized

@IMayBeMe hmm im trying to find a safe way to store python input safely

@JWZ6 A safe way is to use an env var with a database or just use sockets.

@IMayBeMe how do i do dat in Python

@JWZ6 Read the repl db docs

@IMayBeMe k

@OldWizard209 @IMayBeMe me and @ch1ck3n are amking a django chat website

@JWZ6 Maybe try learning databases?

@maxina k

@IMayBeMe i mean mods are if anyone cusses or something mods delete their text. txt file takes the input in and shows it out to others. ig that works but i see your point

@JWZ6 , that's right. We can delete it in the code but I kind of looks like you have to reload to see the effect

@LOLguy1123455 hmmmm

@JWZ6 But that's manual deletion through the editor which goes against how mods on a chat are supposed to work. Also, another issue with the chat is security because I can completely overwrite every message on the chat using 3 lines of code on the console.

@IMayBeMe hmm how?

@JWZ6 re-write the file through the console just like how you re-write the file in your actual code

@IMayBeMe hmmmmmmm im a bit confused

@IMayBeMe What do you mean? Any code that gets typed in the console is never executed, because it goes through the input function, right?

@Dunce hmmmm

@Dunce no, they control-c and use console commands. They're no longer in the chatroom and they can modify files using the console.

@FlaminHotValdez e

@FlaminHotValdez Oh, I see.

@JWZ6 so you blatantly ignore the fact that your chatroom can literally be deleted any second?

@FlaminHotValdez I just tried it, and ctrl + c raises the error:

Type in your message: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 23, in <module>
    message = input("\033[0mType in your message: ")
KeyboardInterrupt

@FlaminHotValdez we got a bakup one but i see ur point

@Dunce That's the point, now you are in the console and you can enter commands.

@JWZ6 and explain why they can't completely wipe the backup one?

@FlaminHotValdez never thought of that

@FlaminHotValdez hmm well i think i can trust them to not wipe the bakup one

@FlaminHotValdez Oh, I see what your saying. That seems like something Replit needs to fix.

@Dunce It's not replit's fault, it's whoever wrote this program's fault. The console works the way it was intended to, and the lack of security in the code is what makes it vunerable.

@JWZ6 and what if someone hacks it?

@IMayBeMe Yeah, but unless I'm missing something (which I probably am, because I'm an absolute idiot), doesn't that mean that you can go into any repl's console, press ctrl + c, and mess with it however you want? If so that seems like a serious issue Replit needs to resolve.

@Dunce it's an intended feature so that you can fiddle with the console and stuff

@FlaminHotValdez yes

@Dunce You can't mess with the actual code, you can only mess with things like a database or files

@FlaminHotValdez Okay.

@IMayBeMe Yeah, I always thought when you ran a repl, any changes to the files, or database would only show up for you. But than if that's true, how do the new chats show up?

@Dunce they don't

@FlaminHotValdez Okay.

@FlaminHotValdez @IMayBeMe Could you maybe give me an example code on how to do that? (delete the code)

@SamiOsman it doesn’t delete the code but rather clears the text file completely including the instructions. Here is the code:

with open(“chat.txt”, “w”) as x:
  x.write(“every thing is deleted”)

btw if the code looks weird, that’s just cause I’m on mobile

@IMayBeMe Really. Huh. So when you come back the text file is cleared? It saves your progress even when you come back? I thought the console didn't work that way. Also, we are working on a safer way to do this.

@SamiOsman yes

@IMayBeMe err it isn't fully deleted

@JWZ6 it actually is apart from whatever I wrote on that second line, try running it in the console, all the file should have is “every thing is deleted”

@IMayBeMe hmmmmm

@IMayBeMe um not true

@IMayBeMe well i just hope u enjoy some parts at the very least

@JWZ6 I’m not gonna even argue with someone who is clearly too incompetent to understand beginner python or what a console is. Go google file handling in python and you will understand

@IMayBeMe ok

@IMayBeMe I don't think I am incompetent. (Sorry @JWZ6) I managed to disable ctrl-c and make it so whenever you do it, this happens: os.system('clear'). I also made sure that the program never exits. I found alternative ways to that. If there is any other way to wipe out the text file please let me know

[email protected]

@SamiOsman thx

@JWZ6 Yw ;)! I really just want **@IMayBeMe to respond. I want to see if there is any way to improve. I am open to suggestions.

@SamiOsman Good job! Now I have to click the stop button to enter commands in the console. That made my job of wiping the chat harder by 0.1%!

@FlaminHotValdez Huh oooh... didnt think of that...Hmmm could I invite you to the repl to help us fix it?

@FlaminHotValdez e

@SamiOsman I don't think you can do anything to disable the stop repl button seeing as it's one of the mechanics in replit

@JWZ6 Is that your default response when you can't figure out anything to defend yourself?

@SamiOsman my original strat of overwriting the file through the console still works

@IMayBeMe eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

@IMayBeMe Oh I see, I was debugging it and I messed it up. Anyways, could you maybe come and help us?

@SamiOsman I think the easiest way to fix it would be to save every message to a data base string and use beeline characters to split it something like this:

from replit import db
db[‘some_key’] = ‘test message\n’
db[‘some_key’] += ‘next message\n’
print(db[‘some_key’])

you can replace some_key with your own which can then be stored in the env section. Also this is just a rough overview so you can add your own input and adding stuff to the db

@IMayBeMe wow u are a GENIUS thank u so much

@JWZ6 no problem!

@IMayBeMe i shall apply that tommorow (cuz i gotta go sleep now)

@ch1ck3n yay!
