Hi guys,

I need to decode a lot of base64 encoded messages. Something to the order of 70 per second.
I heard that it would be better writing a c module to do the decoding rather than decode purely using a tcl script.
Is this true?

top level C code is faster and more effective than TCL, so yes i would agree C is better for this kind of job.

Heyz, thanks for the info.
Do you know a very basic C module written for eggdrop scripts?
I am not so sure on the interfacing.
I am more used to coding in C for mirc.
Would appreciate any help pointing me to a guide or an example on how to write a C module for tcl scripts.
As for the base 64 encoding and decoding part. that is not a prob. I just need the interfacing format.

Thanks!

Depending on how you're going to use it, consider making it a tcl extension.

Check http://tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TclLib/contents.htm for the C functions that a Tcl extended C program may use.
