I'd prefer to see how many people have added it to their contacts rather than how many are using it right now. I know there is a template which has it built in and it displays it on the DOS window so I have no preference whether its on the DOS window or in a command. Hope someone could help me. Thanks, Nick

Just see how many files are in there (on Windows it will show the number of files on the status bar at the bottom)

I did take that into consideration but it could be quite time consuming if the bot ever got popular, and also it's not a reliable way of measuring because these logs could be from weeks ago and people could have removed the bot from their lists. You see what I mean?

I don't know if you can do that on the MSN module, the closest you could get is use the other part of that while(1) loop to see if each user appears online, but it could still be possible they removed the bot from their list (but just didn't block it)

Well I don't really mind HOW I find the user amount, but as long as it's fairly accurate (within a week) and fairly easy to implement as I'm new to Perl and bots. I spose I could make a Batch script or something to delete all logs over a week old but again that's a bit long winded and it's a lot easier to view it within the bot itself.

Have it save in a format like this: Code: my $time = localtime();<br />open (LOG, ">>logs/$victim.txt");<br />print LOG "$time||$victim: $msg\n";<br />print LOG "$time||$screenname: $reply\n";<br />close (LOG); That would be an example of how to save the logs, it would save like this: Code: Tue Jan 2 16:14:30 2004||HumanBlue: hello<br />Tue Jan 2 16:14:30 2004||SuperBot: Hey there! Ok, and then you can do something with the timestamps or something. I'm not exactly sure how to use localtime() as like an array or for comparing dates or whatnot. Maybe somebody who does will reply here.

Here's mine: Code: <br /> #Write it to a log in the logs folder.<br />    open (DATA, ">>logs/$victim.txt");<br />    print DATA "<$victim> $msg\n<$screenname> $reply\n";<br />    close(DATA);<br /> Thanks
