Logging in this case is not an option. Right now I'm working with a system designed to take incoming SMS messages (each stored in a text document ending in .sms) and display them. > A second would be to write a plugin, perl or TCL would do this, no > need to know C. I figured scripting would be what's required. I was just wondering if one existed. I'm pretty much going to have to learn the language from scratch, I'm wondering if I could get a recommendation on which is easier to learn and execute on a Windows system (blasphemy, I know, but the tools I'm trying to interface with only exist in Win32) > A third way would be to work with the dbus interface. Could you explain this one to me? I'm not sure I'm familiar with it. _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [email protected] http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
