Formatting messages told by a bash script.

[sadnem]

Hi,
The thing is I want my eggdrop bot to display messages that would be told by a bash script I have on a different server. It seems to be a simple job but I have no experience with eggdrop/tcl so I can´t do much about it.

What people told me to do was to make eggdrop listen on some port and then telnet the info to it although I have no idea how to do that.

Regards.

EDIT: Some user pointed me to this thread http://forum.egghelp.org/viewtopic.php?p=86819 which almost solved my problem but I´d like the messages that I send to my bot to be formatted and if I send a message like:
(See the posted thread to understand this)

Code: Select all

echo "write #mychan \002Bold text\002" | nc localhost 12345 

My bot will display \002Bold text\002 instead of Bold text

You have to use the bold character 'block' () instead of the \00 type codes.

That was it, thank you
