There are a couple simple ways to save error messages so you don't have to post screenshots of your command prompt, which everyone hates.
The first, and easiest, way is to output all the text to a file instead.
You can easily doing this by adding a little bit extra when you run the file. So instead of:
Quote:
perl bot.pl
You can use:
Quote:
perl bot.pl > output.txt
Then anything that is printed to the command prompt will be outputted to that file.
The other way if you want to keep it all in the command prompt. This shouldn't be to hard since its just copying. All you have to do (for xp, 2000) is to highlight the text you want to copy with the left mouse button, then click on it with the right mouse button.
Or on win98, winME, ect there is select and copy buttons on the tool bar. One looks like a little dotted rectangle, and the other a clipboard. So click on the rectangle one, highlight your text, then click on the clipboard one.
Thats all there is to it, also remember when you show us errors:

I made a Flash animation that shows how to copy text from your DOS window (sometimes left-clicking doesn't work and you need to use the app icon):
I know this is an old topic but I figured I should post this here instead of having to keep pasting that link in all the other topics where people don't know how to copy error messages. _________________ Current Site (2008) http://www.cuvou.com/
