Thanks.

I had actually just started playing with Perl not all that long ago, which got me slightly into $regex(), though nothing super complicated yet. A few days later I realised mIRC had $regex(), so after messing around making a few perl scripts, I started using mIRC's $regex() functions. shocked

Prior to me attempting to learn some Perl, I was clueless about regular expressions. So everything I had did in mIRC up to that point required $gettok(). Oh the horror.
