IRC to AutoIT??

[Ebonywidow]

Hi Everyone!  Great Community!!  

I have a question and I was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction.  

What I am trying to accomplish is to be able to monitor an IRC channel and when certain keywords are typed in by any channel users I would like to send the output to AutoIT and then AutoIT would then use those keywords to send output to an Active Window.  Is this possible to do?

I was thinking of using HexChat and running a python script to accomplish this, am I correct in thinking this way or am I going about it totally wrong?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance guys!!

Its actually not that difficult, I have made a small IRC Bot in AutoIT.

 

You need to use the TCP Functions (TCPConnect, TCPSend & TCPRecv)

 

When connecting to the IRC Server you need to send the following data to the server using TCPSend

NICK <username>

USER <username> <hostname> <servername> :<realname>

 

You can use JOIN to join a channel

 

JOIN <#channel>

 

You can use PRIVMSG to send a message to a channel or to a user.

 

PRIVMSG <#channel>|<nick> :<message>

 

When you receive PING from the server you need to reply with PONG to keep the connection alive

 

Best of luck
