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 canīt 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 Iīd 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:
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.
