i think mike had it right but perhaps you are dealing with an action ?

Code:
 
  on *:ACTION:*:#: {
    if (I like dogs iswm $1-) {
      msg $chan Excuse me $nick $+ $chr(44) but cats are better! 
    }
 
    if ($1 == hi) {
      msg $chan Hi $nick $+ $chr(44) how are you!? 
    }

  }



I think mike and cheech have it right too
cept you are having a problem indicating what you really mean.

What you meant to tell us, is it's an autoresponse to what someone says to you through a private message (pm) or query window.

in which case, if you try the following, I believe you'll find it to work for you.

Code:
 
  ;note the use of the ? instead of the #
  ;? means in the private message window
  on *:TEXT:*:?: {
    if (I like dogs iswm $1-) {
      msg $chan Excuse me $nick $+ $chr(44) but cats are better! 
    }
 
    if ($1 == hi) {
      msg $chan Hi $nick $+ $chr(44) how are you!? 
    }

  }
