It could clear them from the end of the window's buffer or <from line>-<to line> just like /savebuf. That would be useful when, for example, someone sends 1 or more lines full of control codes and you want to clear them without losing all of your buffer and can't resign to strip control codes. That could be added with another switch to /clear ... "Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed." (Benjamin Franklin)

I doubt there well ever be a selective lines remove for channels, but a delete the first X number of lines might be nice. The reason i dout the selective, is it would be well used to manipulate the screen to trick unssuspecting people into thinking only some things were said etc etc. While i disagree with this reasoning for limiting commands, it seems to be prevalent.

great script, I wacked some extras in that speed it up a little, normally I wouldnt have posted it here, but i wanted to say how good I thought it was, I looked at it and just went, "hmmm bummer filter dont work on channels, oh well".

Code:

DLines {
  var %a = $active
  window -c @@Dline
  window -hn @@Dline
  filter -cww $1 @@Dline
  dline @@Dline $2-
  ;filter -cww @@Dline $1 | ;filter can't fill the channels ;]
  var %c = $window($1).state
  window -n $1
  clear $1
  var %i = 1
  while (%i &lt;= $line(@@Dline,0)) { echo $1 $line(@@Dline,%i) | inc %i }
  window $gettok(-n -m -h -r,$findtok(minimized maximized hidden normal,%c,1,32),32) $1
  window -c @@Dline
  window -a $+(",%a,")
}

In my case I want to have the possibility to delete lines in query windows. With this script that is no problem, but I found myself having problems on the function of deleting for instance only the last 10 lines in the query window. Does someone have a suggestion on how to handle this?
