im not sure that i can interact with the GUI directly in the way i want. To do that i would need to do as follows: -Navigate a chatroom names list (seen on the right side, sort of like how mIRC does things in terms of layout) -Right click every name -Click "Copy IP to clipboard" -Somehow retrieve the persons Nickname(Optical Character Recognition?) The task seems difficult for two reasons -Hard to be sure we can do this for every name (scrollbar being different sizes based on number of people in list, etc.) -Not sure if i can even capture nicknames at ALL. Does anyone have any ideas about this?

But you dont do it in the while loop. Your script will never read your clicking the stop button. the while loop needs to end first. This is why i am giving you alternate methods. You either need to set rec to 0 somehow or modify your while loop.

you could remove $rec all together and the case $msg = $rec and then POSSIBLY have While Not ($msg = $stop) This should loop as long as the $msg is not $stop.

check $msg in your while loop? seems like a hard problem indeed and i dont know if this will fix, but it seems to make sense. Your program is stuck in the while loop because you never set rec to 0. ONLY when the while loop ends can you check your cases again, this is why your code isnt allowing you to press stop.

.....yeah ive had a look at their forum, the only help thats being asked is for people whose tunngle doesnt work. So is this program too new to have com objects? not that i know exactly the details surrounding such objects

Tunngle is pretty new i think its all in beta and whatnot.... i guess i was just wondering if anyone here knew how to communicate with it using various windows protocols, as Microsoft has made many of them over the years

Hi, I'd like to make a little program that gathers all the ip addresses in my Tunngle network. Is there any way that i can ask Tunngle the ip addresses of everyone in the users list on the right side of the chat, and also get the name that is associated with that ip? I am new to com objects and communication but i am fine with making the GUI and other parts, so id just like a little help understanding this one aspect, and any advice is well appreciated. Thanks!

This is correct. I learned this through a compression method i just tried involving use of an English dictionary to replace. Since my method works with 3 chars max to represent all words in my list, the best compression comes out of the longer words.

a little, in that there most likely wont be every pattern theoretically possible. This is becoming easier to grasp now.

i think i do understand the basic idea of what you are doing then, its just the details now. Thank you for your effort in getting it across.

i agree with that one, but i do think that any further compression will come at the cost of processing time, and since hard drives now can hold 1TB and are cheap, processing time is viewed as more valuable. So we are possibly going against the grain of what most compression does (something fast). However, i will again add that MAYBE this isn't entirely true either, i'm still interested in what your method is. Unfortunately i still have issues understanding while reading what you've posted thus far on the issue.

cameronsdad: Still willing to assist here? I have started university so unfortunately i cant spend as much time here as id like, but i might take all of what you said to a professor if i get the time. I did talk to a professor who did things with compression and they said you cant obtain a much better system than the common algorithms already used, unless you want to use lots of computations somehow, in which case you might be able to squeeze out another 1% compression. I do wonder if there really is any new good way to compress.

solved now, sorry about that!
