Would there be a way for me to make a script that when people say something like "!news" It would go to a website and find the news... For Example if I wanted it to go to Runescape.com and get the title of the first News Headline and then type it out in the chatroom... any ideas?

You may find it useful to read this tutorial on data retrieval using sockets as it contains information relevant to finding the solution to your problem: http://www.mircscripts.org/showdoc.php?type=tutorial&id=1217

I've come up with this but when I type /playing nothing happens.. alias Playing sockopen Playing www.runescape.com 80 on :sockopen:Playing:{ sockwrite -n $sockname GET / HTTP/1.1 sockwrite -n $sockname Host: www.runescape.com $+ $crlf $+ $crlf } on :sockread:Playing:{ if ($sockerr) { echo -a Error. halt } else { var %temptext sockread %temptext if (<span style="font-size:14px; color:white;">There are currently * people playing! isin %temptext) { set %EK $htmlfree(%temptext) } { /msg #blehtesting %EK } } } } any thoughts?

Code:

on *:sockopen:Playing:{ 
  sockwrite -nt $sockname GET $+(/aff/runescape/title.html) HTTP/1.1 
  sockwrite -nt $sockname Accept-Language: en-us
  sockwrite -nt $sockname User-Agent: Mozilla/??
  sockwrite -nt $sockname Host: www.runescape.com
  sockwrite -nt $sockname Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive
  sockwrite -nt $sockname Connection: Keep-Alive
  sockwrite -t $sockname $str($crlf,2)
} 
on *:sockread:Playing:{ 
  if ($sockerr &gt; 0) { return | /sockclose Playing }
  sockread -f %temptext 
  var %freehtml $htmlfree(%temptext)
  if (*There?are?currently*people?playing!* iswm %freehtml) { /msg #blehtesting %freehtml } 
} 
alias -l htmlfree {
  var %x, %i = $regsub($1-,/(^[^&lt;]*&gt;|&lt;[^&gt;]*&gt;|&lt;[^&gt;]*$)/g,$null,%x), %x = $remove(%x,&amp;nbsp;)
  return %x
}
on *:text:!players:#blehtesting:{
  sockclose Playing
  sockopen Playing www.runescape.com 80
}

should work!
