I looked at the Tie::TextDir info, but i do not think that that is needed. I am just wondering on how i can make the bot add 1 to the $screenname.emo file when someone says Sorry, srry, sry, and as Nkuvu and bbfu pointed out, sory, but, as I said before, I am not sure how to add a number to what the file allready has in it (maybe it doesnt recognize it as only numerals, and can't add anything?) Thanks.
