socket errors - mIRC Discussion Forums

Code:

alias go {
  sockopen hiscores mail.patmedia.net 110
}

I am having problems connecting to a server. After i call go, the on 1:sockread event is called, but i cant call a sockread, it says the socket is unavailable. i used $sock(hiscores,1).swmsg and it said [0] Unknown Error.

Does anyone know what could be wrong?

This code works:

Code:

alias go sockopen hiscores mail.patmedia.net 110
On *:sockread:hiscores:{
  var %a
  sockread %a
  echo -s -&gt; %a
}

Type /go, wait a moment, and you'll get "+OK POP3 patmedia.net v2001.78mdk server ready".

That code doesn't work for me still

I am getting a [0] Unknown Error again

I guess that I just can't work with sockets?

alias go { sockopen hiscores mail.patmedia.net 110 }
on 1:SOCKREAD:hiscores:{
if ($sockerr > 0) { return }
sockread %s
//echo -a >> %s
}

Thank you! that works

But why does it when the other one doesn't?

i think its because the other 1 had an error and it didnt return.
