This is a typical Tcl error, and from what I understand, there is nothing you can do about it.

it can't be true that i cant make that type of script, i dont belive that...

can you tell me how it must look like, the few one there works ?

[ppslim]

It's is and it isn't true.

In reality, the command above shoudl work. You could try using { and } instead of ", though I don't know if it would help.

There seems to be an issue with Tcl and Windows, where programs can't be executed correctly. This may be due to certain libraries they where linked against, or the way the prgram handles output.

In essance, the error is half fatal. It means it worked, it hasn't crashed the bot, but it's doing do it's job correctly.

Short of using a *nix OS, there isn't anything you can doo.

I have never seen a workaround for this and nay forum, usenet, FAQ or any other form of documentation.

I have also searched high and low without any results about the same error. How hard could it frickin be to receive one line of text from uptime.exe!?

[stdragon]

Does it have something to do with how eggdrop closes stdin/stdout? Try removing that bit from the code and recompiling.

I hate c, and c hates me. Maybe I shall attempt this one day..
