Eggdrop running problem

Post by fnh »

Whenever i do "eggdrop -m fnh.conf" i get this output:

Eggdrop v1.6.15 (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2003 Eggheads
[07:43] --- Loading eggdrop v1.6.15 (Wed Jun 8 2005)
[07:43] Tcl error in file 'fnh.conf':
ëÿ¿í@
[07:43] * CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED (NOT FOUND, OR ERROR)

I cant figure out what I did wrong. I checked fnh.conf but i cant find any error in it... Those characters are nowhere in it.

If edited with Word/Notepad they probably are, you just cannot see them. Try an editor that uses Unix format.

Hardly the way to talk to someone who was just offering possible solutions to your problem. Muppet. :evil:

using pico doesn't necessarily make you smarter ;)

you can use notepad and still have your file stripped of ^M and ^Z with a simple command:

Code: Select all

$ tr -d '\015\032' <winfile.txt >unixfile.txt
