Connect to IRC server ... SHOULD be easy, isnt!?

[Wayne Diamond]

*sigh* sorry guys
I found the bug a second after I posted here ... posting here actually REVEALED the bug ... somehow my code had some other character where there should've been a space character. In the PB IDE it looked like a space, but when I posted it here it turned out as an asterisk ... weird!
Anyway problem fixed

Admins please delete this thread, sorry for the hassle

ps. If anybodys interested, yes it IS easy to connect to an IRC server when you use the correct space character

#COMPILE EXE
 
$IRCServer = "irc.server.com"
 
FUNCTION PBMAIN() AS LONG
LOCAL hTCP AS DWORD, sPacket AS STRING
TCP OPEN PORT 6667 AT $IRCServer AS #hTCP
 TCP PRINT #hTCP, "NICK mynickname"
 TCP PRINT #hTCP, "USER myident " & CHR$(34,34) & " " & CHR$(34) & $IRCServer & CHR$(34) & " :my fullname"
 DO
   TCP LINE INPUT #hTCP, sPacket
   PRINT sPacket
   IF LEFT$(sPacket, 5) = "PING " THEN TCP PRINT #hTCP, "PONG " & RIGHT$(sPacket, LEN(sPacket) - 5)
 LOOP
TCP CLOSE #hTCP
END FUNCTION
