Simple socketing

Hi there, I recently started with Ruby and I am trying to make a very
simple irc bot, but I am having some slight problems though.

This is what I came up with:

require 'socket'
class Irc
def connect(server, port = 6667)
@socket = TCPsocket.new(server, port)
end
def to_server(text)
@socket.gets(text)
return true
end
def from_server()
return @socket.puts
end
end
irc = Irc.new
irc.connect("irc.homelien.no", 6667)
irc.to_server('NICK: testbot')
irc.to_server('USER: testbot "" "irc.efnet.net" :testbot')
go = true
while go == true
if (text = irc.from_server)
puts(text)
end
end


Doesn't work though, I just get the loop.

You've got gets and puts the wrong way around. Read them as Get String
and Put String, gets reads from the socket and puts writes to it.

Also, there's a protocol error there, you want to_server to read like this:

def to_server(text)
@socket.puts(text.to_s+"\r\n") # The line breaks are important, must be CRLF.
end
