mIRC should have a way in which one could do something like /pipeopen(<pipe name>, <binary executable>, [<command-line arguments>]) and then get it's piped output via something like
on *:piperead:<pipe name>:{
piperead %blah...
}
and maybe have a feature for
/pipewrite <pipe name> <stdout data>
and then
on *:pipeclose:<pipe name>:{
%return_code = $pipereturncode
}

or something like that


THIS WOULD MAKE COMPLEX SCRIPTWRITING EXTREMELY, EXXXTREMELY POWERFUL, and wouldn't really be too hard.

p.s.,
I realize that one could do something similar to this via .dlls, or make their program use sockets to interact with mirc or whatever, but that's not what i'm interested in.....

you only need to post in one forum.

have anything useful to say?

no.

fez, tidy_trax has a point. There is no need to cross-post, it will only result in confusion and your other posts being deleted. There is also need to be rude to the people that give up their free time to help here and give their feedback about your suggestions.

Pause for thought.

Regards,

Well if u say so

PS: werent you pointing out typoes the other day as well <snicker snicker>

PSS : its friday here, im fulling in time tell i can go home so please exuse my posts, or dont and flame me, it well still give me something to do.

I do not remember pointing out people's typos, and if I did then it would have been in a friendly way that the other person would have understood.

Or I did it in my sleep, because I don't remember it.
