Is there a way, some program or something, to convert scripts written in mIRC to tcl scripts, without having to know tcl language. I need it for egg.
Thanks!

I seriously doubt it, since mIRC is nothing like TCL, however you can find similiar scripts, if they are "generic", i.e. Says HELLO when someone joins a channel, or something, from, egghelp.org.

I love how people say that they need scripts. If you have a channel with a 50 person average in it, then you can say that you need a bot/script.

mIRC Scripting isn't anything like TCL? They've got many similiarities. Both work on IRC and both use event-driven structures. It would be very possible to compile a mIRC Script into TCL code, but I don't know anyone bored enough to write the compiler.

There cant be many "differences" in how they function because they both have to do the same "jobs", i.e. ON TEXT for example, there has to be the same thing in TCL. however, saying that.

BIND in TCL supports *everything* where as mIRC has different events, ON TEXT, NOTICE, ect.

I'm not saying it would be impossible to convert it, what i am saying is that i doubt anyone would create such a thing since there is no need really.

Also, yes it is "very possible to compile a mIRC Script into TCL code", but then, when isnt it?, its very possible to convert VC++ to VB, or, PHP to ASP, unless the language you are converting into has some shortfalls, for example, you cannot convert a mIRC script that has sockets in it to TCL, if TCL didnt support sockets (which is does).

Just for the purposes of Clarity, what does the script you want to convert to TCL actually do, if its not wonderfully long, you might be luckysmirk

Also, have you tried the above url? (egghelp.org).

Well, Coolkill, friend, this is the problem... I wrote some script in mirc that do some calculations and returns the results to me, and I need it to be 24h/day online. I don't have win mashine that's 24h/day online, I have linux shell... that's why I need my script to work with egg.
Thanx anyway!
