problem with exec in windrop

[Pitchat]

HI
How can i replace the exec command in a tcl to be able to use it in a windows eggdrop ?

heres an example

Code: Select all

exec mv $vname $vname.old

thanks

you could do it like this

Code: Select all

exec cmd /c ren $vname $vname.old

but i think this would be better

Code: Select all

file rename -force -- $vname $vname.old

[Pitchat]

yes it did just good but i found that i have 2 other exec that arent the same and replacing them with your solution doesnt fit it is sure that i do something wrong heres are the 2 remaining

Code: Select all

    catch {exec rm -f $vname.old}

and

Code: Select all

    if [catch {exec rm -f $fname} resf] {

thanks

Consult the file command in the TCL Manual.

next time u use exec or set file [open "|test.exe" "r+"] use mode -nt

when u start the bot eggdrop.exe -nt eggdrop.conf

And reserve the exec command for non-native commands.
It's a security hole when you use exec, because you allow to execute scripts and shell commands.
And particularly when it's to do some rm
