ok i dont realy understand regex that mutch, but if i were to simply put it im trying to strip HTML from that quote using mIRC scripting, and i need an identifyier/alias that returns eather the text replacing a character in the text string with another character $remove wouldnt work for every one
forgot to give you an example:
