    Default How would I make a chat poster?

    Hello all,
    I am in need of some help.I need to code a simple program that will run 24h and post some messages on different chat sites.
    For example, I specify it a chat room,then in a line edit I put the message I want it to display and a timer,so that it posts every x minutes.
    Press start and it "spams".

    Help me:what functions,tools do I have to use?I have no experience in network programming.
    Thank you.

    You have to write the "main()" function. Apart from that "it depends".
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    There is no ISO or ANSI standard for "sending messages to online chats". The only thing certain is that your program will require a "main()" function. As for everything else "it depends".

    Probably yes. But "it depends on" a particular chat system.

    Good luck. You'll need it.

    Elaborating on "it depends": You might need TCP sockets, UDP sockets, with or without encryption, with or without authentication, using a simple HTTP-like protocol, using something like IRC, using a proprietary API or protocol, using screen scraping and keyboard stuffing into a web-based page with no exposed API, some of all of the above in a pluggable fashion, etc.
