Yes, that is exactly what I want thank you. To explain - I have a bot that on !scrimstart advertises in #findscrim & #calscrim for a 5v5 scrim west and whatnot. When someone PM's the bot because they want to scrim, I wanted the text to be displayed in the channel so anyone in the clan could respond & give that person the ip & password to the server. I will probably include the code you provided (modified with $nick : $1-) in a if statement that checks if the scrim timer is running and if it is copies the text to the channel. Thanks, you put the missing piece in my puzzle ; )
