Callsign Discord Bot

The Callsign Discord Bot is a Python-based bot that interacts with users on a Discord server to fetch and display information from an Excel spreadsheet. The bot responds to the !callsign command, searches the provided Excel file for the specified keyword, and returns the relevant data in a formatted response.

Features

• Responds to the !callsign command.
• Searches for exact and non-exact matches in the specified columns of the Excel file.
• Returns formatted results with bold titles and country flags.
• Handles multiple exact matches by displaying only one result.
• Displays multiple non-exact matches if no exact duplicates are found.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• Discord bot token
• Required Python libraries: discord.py, pandas, openpyxl
