Discord bot 删除 python 中“x”数量的消息

Question

So the bot I created (in python) can currently delete all messages with the command ".clear all", However, I would also like to add a function to it. so that people can type in "x" amount and for that to be deleted instead of all? Is this possible? or would I need to redo this function a different way. I should add I'm new to python and still learning the ropes.

Here is my code:

if '!clear all' in message.content and message.author.permissions_in(message.channel).manage_messages:
    await message.channel.send('__**This will delete all messages (even pinned)**__')
    await message.channel.send('**Type:**')
    await message.channel.send('```"!yes" to continue```')
    await message.channel.send('```"!no" to stop```')
if '!no' in message.content and message.author.permissions_in(message.channel).manage_messages:
    await message.channel.send('**This proccess has stopped**')
    exit()
else:
    if '!yes' in message.content and message.author.permissions_in(message.channel).manage_messages:
        await message.channel.send('**This proccess will continue in:**')
        await message.channel.send('**3**')
        await asyncio.sleep(0.5)
        await message.channel.send('**2**')
        await asyncio.sleep(0.5)
        await message.channel.send('**1**')
        deleted = await message.channel.purge(limit=3000)
        await message.channel.send('**All messages deleted. Have a nice day**'.format(deleted))
        await asyncio.sleep(3)
        deleted = await message.channel.purge(limit=3000)

Many thanks!

Discord.py actually provides functionality to implement something like this, you can add parameters to your command via function arguments , and you can ask discord.py to automatically convert them to specific types (such as integer/numbers ) with converters .

If you're not using discord.py or commands yet, I recommend you do, it helps a lot!

To solve the question without these features though, you can take the user input (here message.content and split it after every space ( message_arguments = message.content.split() ) this will give you a list of words (where message_arguments[0] is the command, here !clear , and message_arguments 1 is the second argument, for example all or potentially a number) and from there you need to check whether that second argument is all or a number by using int(message_arguments[1]) , more on that here for example. Once you have the number you can simply use it as a variable and use it to delete the messages: await message.channel.purge(limit=variable_that_holds_a_number) .
