<Kopachris> so
<Kopachris> answer.split(';') returns a list
<Compu> why would it return a list?
<Compu> why wouldnt it just use a string?
<Kopachris> because it splits the string into a list of substrings delimited by ';'

<Compu> ok
<Kopachris> so we can get just a part of the string
<Compu> i see
<Kopachris> you're trying to access element 1 (the second element) of that list
<Kopachris> and it's telling you that index is out of range, i.e. the list doesn't have that many elements
<Compu> ok that would mean 0 is the first element
<Kopachris> yes
<Compu> so should it be asking for 0?
<Kopachris> no, we still want 1 because it works most of the time
<Compu> so
<-- K|razy1 (Krazy@insert.funny.and.original.vhost.here) has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<Compu> we should make an exception to try 0 if 1 doesnt work?
<Kopachris> you can try, but I doubt the output will be of any use
<Compu> or if theres only 1 item add another item into 0 and move 0 to 1?
<Kopachris> more likely, if 1 doesn't work, it wasn't able to get a result for the query
<Compu> hmmm
<Compu> how would i find out if thats the case?
<Kopachris> so check the length of the list returned by answer.split()
<Kopachris> and if it's <2, answer = False
<Kopachris> and the next bit (if answer: ... else: phenny.reply('Sorry, no result') ) will take
