In particular, I have a project: The script needs to go to a colony page and grab the military units. Every colony url ends with numbers, IE http://www.lunarwars.net/profile.php?lookup=833 So, say, I typed !units 833 and the script would open http://www.lunarwars.net/profile.php?lookup= $+ $$2 Then it would go down to the military units, get them, and read them off to the channel, IE: Military Strength 68,523 Soldiers 12,528 Ground Assault 500 Orbital Fighters 403 Long Range Missiles 0 Nuclear Arsenal 0 I would like to learn how to do this myself, and I would appreciate it if ;documentation could be included.

Once the connection opens (on sockopen) you need to request the webpage with /sockwrite. You need to GET /profile.php?lookup= $+ $2 HTTP/1.0 . Then you need to parse the on sockread data using /sockread. -genius_at_work

Unfortunately, the page you want to read is password protected. Therefore, you will need a more complex code (to return cookies) in order to read the site. You can search this site for 'cookies'. Code: alias units { if ($1 == $null) return var %sockname = $+(units.,$r(000,999)) sockmark %sockname $1 sockopen %sockname www.lunarwars.net 80 } on :SOCKOPEN:units.:{ sockwrite -n $sockname GET /profile.php?lookup= $sock($sockname).mark http/1.0 sockwrite -n $sockname host: www.lunarwars.net sockwrite -n $sockname $crlf } on :SOCKREAD:units.:{ var %s sockread %s echo -s > %s } -genius_at_work
