http://tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TclCmd/Tcl.htm

I recommend reading and understanding everything on that page first (or at least try to) because it covers all the basics.

http://tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TclCmd/contents.htm has all the avaliable core commands explained in detail.

doc/tcl-commands.doc (in your eggdrop dir) contains a list of commands and variables added to the interpreter when running under eggdrop.

Looking at other people's scripts can also be a good way to learn. But there are incredible amounts of [censored] code released every day, so don't assume everything you see is done the "right" way.

Here's a page with a couple of useful links:
http://forum.egghelp.org/viewtopic.php?t=3870

Use your favorite (pure) text editor to create/edit the scripts.

okie... i got a slight idea on how it works... but i checked out some scripts but i cant read how to read those scripts??? espcially sme of those in egghelp.org???? with the extention *.tcl.gz ????

[caesar]

The .tcl.gz, .gz or .zip means that is packed in an archive and it should be unpacked before beeing used.

[crazy-nic]

so where can i unpack the .gz files????

[caesar]

Usualy in the scripts/ dir if you want them loaded on your eggdrop, to unpack a .tgz or tar.gz use: tar zxvf file, as for the .zip file unzip or gunzip file, or something like this anyway, depends on the OS.

u mean if the file name is like

hello.tgz

or

hello.tgz.gz

in the SSH programe just type tar hello.tgz

is this what u mean?

[Sir_Fz]

no what he ment is that :

if a file is named hello.tgz or hello.tar.gz
type tar zxvf hello.tgz (in case of hello.tgz)
or tar zxvf hello.tar.gz (in case of hello.tar.gz)

if u have hello.gz type gunzip hello.gz
if u have hello.zip type unzip hello.zip

wasn't Ceasar clear enough ?
