Ok I have a textfile with proxies in this format:

###. 65.993.23.4:80

The first part (###) is a number. It can be one, two, or three digits. There is then a period (.) after it. Then the IP, a colon, then the port. I'm trying to make a script so that it will go through all of the proxies in the list, seeing if they work(/firewall -p ip_here port). But then I need to see if they even connect properly. Sometimes I get errors (e.g. Error talking with firewall). I need a way so that it will delete it from the list when it sees an error and then go to the next one. And after it connects it waits 10 seconds or so before moving on to the next one, to make sure it doesn't get banned. I have no idea how to write this but I hope some of you do. Thanks for reading my problem.

I'll help you... but only if you can give me a valid reason why you are maintaining a list of open proxy servers.

thats personal, he does not half to awnser that.

Quite true, he does not have to explain why he would need to do this.

By the same token, unless he can make up a valid reason for such a questionable activity, it is highly unlikely that anyone with any sense here will help him solve his problem. I read his original post and decided that since I couldn't come up with a non-harmful scenario for such a script, I would not answer the question. I see no reason to help newbie h4x0rs learn how to write their own exploits, which is the only purpose that I can see for such a script.

Does this mean that he doesn't have a valid, non-harmful reason for wanting to do what he wants to? Not at all; he might very well have a valid reason.

does seem kinda h4x0r like.. :tongue: well, lets see what his reason is.

Mybe he's writting Open Proxy Monitor for IRCd, in mIRCskript?
j/k

Actually I'm writing this because I run a channel which focuses on privacy (basically). People in this room usually don't want people to see their IP's and are already running proxies, but proxies are unpredictable and can go down at any time. I run this so people in the channel may get proxies for their browser/IRC. I prefer them working with both so I don't have 1 list of browsers and one list of IRC's, because most don't work with IRC. This script would allow me to just feed it a list (from a proxy website for example) and see if they work. Some people may abuse this list but it isn't why I'm putting it there.
