I keep looking at various post and I don't understand the moethod of regex and what its used for so far It seems to strip down a certain word in a word but then again im not sure, and whens the best time to use it?

and then a call to $regml

Even the mIRC example has me stumped

even time to time ill see something like $regex(word,/\@?#\/) or something like that its used in a variety of scripts so this $regex feature must be something great to be using often.

Its ok if you dont want to post a small tut on it I just wanted to learn those calls from mirc
