I just need something that grabs the headline from CNN.com (or any other major news site for that matter) and echo it to a channel every hour or so. If one does not exist would it be hard to write such a script to someone fairly new to mIRC scripting? Thank you.

Also that doesn't echo anything into the channel or anything it just opens up a custom window and displays the information there. But if anyone does know of a newsgrabber that echos headlines from cnn on the hour, could ya point me in that direction as well...

I'VE NOT TRIED THEM - MAKE SURE THEY DO NOT CONTAIN ANY BAD CODING BEFORE USING!!! http://www.neonblu.com/?ne http://www.vscript.cjb.net/ This one is deffinately a news grabber, don't know how effective it is though! http://www.mircscripts.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi?a=cnn.mrc&v=6.0 This one is for eggdrop bots (unix) - you may be able to convet the code/look how it's done and alter it for use with mIRC? Prehaps! (look down the page for CNN) http://www.botservice.net/en/tclscripts.html Hope they help!! Aubs.
