What parts of your code works? Is the file created? Do you get any error messages?

afaik you can exec the exe straight from tcl

Code: Select all

exec "drv.exe > space.txt"

to have it saved to that txt for dumping... or

Code: Select all

foreach line [split [exec drv.exe] \n] {
    puthelp "PRIVMSG $nick :$line"
}

to have it all done without creating files.

I added what you suggested putted the drv.exe in the root of windrop but still ... it won't work :/

[14:32] Tcl error[send_space]: couldn't duplicate input handle: bad file number

Code: Select all

bind pub - !space send_space

proc send_space {nick uhost hand chan arg} { 
global space send_space
  if {[isop $nick $chan] == 1} { 
  foreach line [split [exec drv.exe] \n] { 
  puthelp "PRIVMSG $nick :$line" 
  }
  } else { 
    putserv "NOTICE $nick : Dude you don't got acces to that !!" 
  } 
}

The error you are now seeing means that the file is being executed.

However, this error is very common, and there is little that can be done about it.

It is only ever seen on the windows platform. Seeing as eggdrop isn't activly developed for the windows platform, there is little more the developers can do either.

I sugest asking on the forums over at http://windrop.sf.net/

Well i did some reading ..
lots actualy but still don't realy understand but your write tho its something with windrop somthing about a warper.

found the sollution but don't fully understand what there saying http://tmml.sourceforge.net/doc/tcl/exec.html

When attempting to execute an application, exec first searches for the name as it was specified. Then, in order, .com, .exe, and .bat are appended to the end of the specified name and it searches for the longer name. If a directory name was not specified as part of the application name, the following directories are automatically searched in order when attempting to locate the application:
The directory from which the Tcl executable was loaded.
The current directory.
The Windows NT 32-bit system directory.
The Windows NT 16-bit system directory.
The Windows NT home directory.
The directories listed in the path.

In order to execute the shell builtin commands like dir and copy, the caller must prepend ``cmd.exe /c '' to the desired command.

also found some other solution if i under stand well i need to type "file://" infront of it but that doesn't seem to work either .. :/ well if any one has any suggestions about how they executed an exe .. let me know plz .. TnX verry mutch

You would be ammazed at how many people would paste quotes from files, unrealted to the system they are on!

So did you try

Code: Select all

exec "cmd.exe /c drv.exe > space.txt"

as the site suggested? (after including the exe in your path or what ever it's called on windows)

Ofloo · Post by **Ofloo** » Wed May 28, 2003 8:20 am

yes i did try
did all kinds of strange things ..
most of the time it couldn't find the file cause of path or didn't exist, i putted the file c:\ (root) c:\winnt (system root) c:\winnt\system (system root 16bit) c:\winnt\system32 (system root 32 bits) and windrop directory

tryed c:\ c:\\ c:// c:/ file:// file:\\ file:\\c:\ file://c:/ file://c:// file:\\c:\\ ..... well all the combinations i could think of ..

for this as wel exec "cmd.exe /c drv.exe > space.txt", ive tryed to put it all kinds of different order (syntax that is) ...

OS: NT2000 SP3

Do not use quotes in the exec command unless specificaly needed (then they should be escaped).

Ofloo · Post by **Ofloo** » Wed May 28, 2003 10:23 am

hmm no result either ... is there an other eggdrop port that might work .. ? Or can it be executed from windrop .. ? cause it seems once i can elemate one problem i got an other one directory or file does not exist then when i got the drirectory setup i get again bad file interpretor bad filenumber or somthing .. ??
<br><br>
also tryed windrop forum like you suggested few days ago like you suggested, but no answer.

OK, as you pointed out, once you fix the not found error, another one comes up.

The not found error is as it sounds, it doesn't find the files. once this is fixed all is fine.

However, there is a second error being produced, which obviously seems like there is no workaround.

The error (file discriptor) has been around for some time as noted above, but as also noted, eggdrop isn't activly developed for the win32 platform.

As it comes, eggdrop should compile fine using the cygwin wrapper library, out of the box, and as such, there is no porting to do.

Unless any1 else knows a free wrapper library like cygwin, that eggdrop could compile under, there is little more we can help you with on this.

hmm meaning ? so i need to use cygwin ?? or do i understand wrong .. ? or is there an other way arround it ?? has windrop ever solved this problem that you know off .. ?

ppslim · Post by **ppslim** » Wed May 28, 2003 4:37 pm

First off.

Cygwin is a wrapper library. It provides a way for functions designed to work on the *nix systems, to operate in a win32 environment.

Windrop is allready cygwin compiled.

What I was saying, is it may work, if you could use another wrapper library other than cygwin. However, I have never seen any others.

I have never seen a workaround, and once it starts, it usualy doesn't stop.
