    Can someone do me this?

    I tried for several days, i simply cant do it... I cant learn it by myself.

    I'm trying to make a simple program in C++ to compile into a .EXE using DEV-C++

    The program will do this:

    -Connect through telnet to 127.0.0.1 at the port 8674, you can use port 23,24,25, and so on to connect.

    -Send the Authentication message "AUTH 1287".

    -Wait for the sentence "Correct! 250" that the server sends

    -Now send in each minute the next message "Show stats"
    for each (minute) send "Show stats"...


    Its a program that I have to show remote stats from other computers i have, but i need to keep it updated this way.
    I know there are better options to do what i'm doing but i would like to try this way.

    Can someone develope me a script that does that?
    Thanks!

    >> Can someone develope me a script that does that?

    you poor thing. would you like fries with that?
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }

    The answer is no. We don't give out full programs. We do help you with your own program. But in this case, the networking forum is more appropriate.

    As it probably could be done in 10 lines with any higher level script language, I guess your interest here is to *learn* how to do it in C?

    I cant learn it by myself. [...]Can someone develope me a script that does that?
    So actually you don't care about learning.

    Could you rephrase your problem with consistent contraints? why do it in C?

    Just post the code if you have any.
    Some will be happy to dig into it and feed you with suggestions as to why it isn't working or how it should be.

    Yer, that's not homework. You *should* be able to do it in batch.

    I wanna use C/C++ because i made this tiny prog in visual basic and it needs the Winsock.ocx file.
    In C no ocx files needed, and i only have to put the winsock.dll in the same folder as the program, no need to register it.

    i dont want to learn it, at least right now, because college takes me all the free time i had not much time ago...

    and no, this isnt any school homework or something.

    Unfortunately, as you should know, just trying to do something in a language without experience isn't going to work.
    There's nothing wrong in having the winsock.ocx file on the target computer. Just make sure they install the VB runtime, and they'll have the winsock file.
    Btw, C/C++ also requires runtime - especially newer versions, so don't do it just because you don't want to install winsock.ocx.
