HouseBot

Hi

Does anyone know how to send udp in vbscipt.

I cannot seem to find much info about this on the web.

Pearl is able to do this but I wish to send from Housebot. It may be possible usin winsock. I have udp traffic being sent and indeed received when monitoring via a vb program.



I would like to send a comand like "avy134" to an ip address say 192.168.1.1 port 5000.

My guess is you'd need a command line tool that can manipulate and send packets. Then simply call the tool from a shell in vbscript.



I'd be very surprised if vbscript had much network capability built into it.



If I get a chance, I'll brush off a few books and see if I can find what I'm thinking of for a command line tool.

Also check out curl and the execute program device. Here's a post with a similar question.

Thanks for the reply.

Scott the reply you mention was infact to me.I do use cURL at the mo for http messages.Looking at their website It seems to list everything except udp .

Unless ,of course, you are aware of something different?

Ha. I just remembered the discussion and didn't even look at who was posting



Yea, I guess curl is TCP only. Have you tried sending the command via TCP?
