I am currently porting some scripts from mIRCscript format into an eggdrop bot. I have come across some of the script which uses an ini file, and I am trying to work out if ini files are supported by eggdrop. I know that tcl 8.2 supports ini files with the command inifile (see http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/doc/ini.html for more) but I don't know whether this means my eggdrop will. Has anyone got any experience in using ini files with eggdrop and can offer me some handy hints?

I'm reasonably experienced in scripting/programming in general, I just haven't done much eggdrop or tcl before, so somewhere between spoonfeeding and a bit more complicated seems like a good level to pitch for. Thanks in advance

windrop will support that, eggdrop on Linux/UNIX system will not

I dont see the reason why that tcllib would only work on windows. Its a tcllib which source can be executed on any TCL enviroment. I looked into ini.tcl and could find only common TCL commands.
So as long that lib is present you can use it. If it isnt present, install tcllib from the page you posted Razz

yeah, apparently that's the case

I thought it might be somehow using win32 ini APIs, I was wrong
