Batch Sockets?

[R.a.B.B.i.T]

I'm just wondering if it's possible to create a socket through batch, because I haven't been able to find anything about them?

[Arta]

Not that I've ever heard of, assuming you're talking about batch files.

[R.a.B.B.i.T]

Yep.  Thanks then.

[The-FooL]

You could create a program that would make a socket, and then run the program via the batch file.

That's not what I wanted to do though.  I was wondering if a basic telnet bot would be feasable through batch only.

I haven't really done anything with batch files, but couldn't you telnet <server> 6112 to start a connection?

If that's not what you mean, terribly sorry. I must be confused.

[R.a.B.B.i.T]

Yes, but that's just running a batch file that then runs telnet.  I was looking for a way to make a chat client explicitly in batch.

[Skywing]

No, you can't do that without calling external programs.  Why would you want to do such a thing, anyway?

Say "look, I made a bot in batch!"
Also, I'd like to just get a good grasp of another language that I can make in notepad.

You can use any language in notepad. An IDE's sole purpose is to make the process easier on you, it is not required.

I could never imagine coding projects in notepad though.

I could never imaging coding C on Linux in an IDE.

IDEs are good. I wouldn't want to use gdb directly to debug.
