Hey, ive being trying for some time now to make this program to send files on request to the user in msn 6 using visual basic, i have given up seeing as i dont know the msn 6 api, so im requesting for someone who is bored or has time or just wants to make a program, to make a program using perl that when someone talks to it, they type a command and it will give them a list of files, and then they type a differant command followed by the file name, and it then sends them the file.
All your help will be greatfuly appericiated.
If you want to download the source code (Visual Basic) of the program that sends files on request but only in msn 4.7, then please visit the Visual Basic part of these forums and view the topic msn file server
You should show us what you have so far. That proves that you put some effort in before asking someone else to program for you. We all like to see effort made here first and then we're happy to help.

You want us to make you a program in Visual Basic, using perl? hehe. I think I know what you mean though. You want the program, how it is done doesn't matter to you? If so, perhaps you could go looking for existing commands to do just that for other bot templates, or maybe you could try learning a different language to write your bot in. I've only used the VB MSN API a few times before, but generally found it to be quite difficult and unintuitive to use, compared with other methods of talking to MSN. Mojave, the current source code was posted in a paralell thread theasker has posted, turns out to be here: http://www31.brinkster.com/theasker/index.htm.
Shmookey, thanks for the link but I really wasn't interested in the code at all, just in seeing if this guy had made an effort as he said he did before asking others to write it for him.
mojave, shmookey is right, i was trying to make this program in visual basic but seeing as i dont know the api i have given up and seeing as i dont know perl at all i cannot attempt to make it in perl, therefor i requested bot-depots help in making this bot. I have had a little experience in perl but found if confusing as it uses too many "{ and }" and other things i dont know when to put one of those lol, your help is appericiated.

Hmm, I understand what you are saying. Personally I try to discourage people from learning a BASIC based languaged as their first, it teaches bad habits and it doesn't use a syntax comparable to other languages. I suggest you try to learn perl, it will help you a lot more than Visual Basic has. Oh, and in case you were wondering, braces ('{' and '}') denote scope. Things created inside them will in most cases be destoyed when they close. They also group many instructions together, so you can have many instructions performed in places where you might usually be only allowed one, ie: an 'if' statement only affects one instruction, or the entire contents of a set of braces placed after it.
hmm yea, i kinda understand ur explination, ill have a look around bot depot n read a few perl programs and hopefully get a better understanding, but it wont be enough to make the program i require, please can someone post here if they are willing to make this for me.
