I want the user in the channel to search within this file and get the results (max 5) returned. The problem is that i only want the the first, the third and the fourth item to show from the line. I came up with this: Code: ON :TEXT:!search:#mychannel: { var %string = $2- msg $chan Searching for %string window -h @@ filter -fw C:\quotes.txt @@ $+(,%string,) msg $chan There were $filtered quotes found showing 5 if $filtered { savebuf 5 @@ quotes.tmp \| write quotes.tmp End of results \| play $nick quotes.tmp 1000 \| .remove quotes.tmp window -c @@ } } This only gives back the entire line it found a result on instead of giving the the first, the third and the fourth part of the line. Would you have a solution for my problem? Thanks, you guys are the best!

Code:

ON *:TEXT:!search*:#mychannel: {
  var %string = $2-
  msg $chan Searching for %string
  window -h @@
  filter -fk C:\quotes.txt line.chopper.upper $+(*,%string,*)
  msg $chan There were $filtered quotes found showing 5
  if $line(@@,0) { savebuf 5 @@ quotes.tmp | write quotes.tmp End of results | play $nick quotes.tmp 1000 | .remove quotes.tmp 
  window -c @@ }
}
;
;** below alias sends only whats needed to the @@ window **
;
alias -l line.chopper.upper {
  tokenize 32 $1
  if (%string isin $1 $3 $4) aline @@ $1 $3 $4
}
;
;****** If you dont need to ensure the %string is in $1 $3 $4 then just use the alias below instead of the one above. ******
;
alias -l line.chopper.upper {
  tokenize 32 $1
  aline @@ $1 $3 $4
}

I assumed the 1st,3rd & 4th parts of the line were the 1st 3rd & 4th word, since you didnt tell me any differently.

Gone.
