1. I want to make an fserv script for MacBitchX, the macOS port of the unix irc client. Now, this shouldn't be that hard, if only I knew how to communicate with the file structure of my macintosh. Unix-type commands like ls seem, well, are disabled for the MacBitchX port, so using a .bx script will not be possible? Another choice could be AppleScript, but I don't know how to trigger an AppleScript from an irc script, and thus how to use its output. So, I guess my choice would be a Tcl script. Is it possible to examine the file structure (not exactly actual I/O, but just getting a database of the files on my system) with such a tcl script for MacBitchX? I'm asking this, since the interpreter is MacBitchX, and not tcshl (or whatever it's called), so I'm not sure whether that allows it.
2. If such a thing is possible, how can I communicate with MacBitchX in that tcl script? If I use "put" routines to print and such, it doesn't seem to know where to print it, when interpreted by MacBitchX.
I'm obviously not experienced with tcl scripting and interpreting, but I only need it now for my fserv script. If anyone has a clue on how to get the file-structure of my mac with tcl, using BitchX as interpreter, and how to get tcl communicate with MacBitchX commands (although I'm sure that last part is better documented and I will be able to find out by myself one day), I'd be very greatful.
Any clues are welcome, from other fields like the regular BitchX client perhaps,
