Since he talks about words, $istok should be used instead of isin :
I've added $strip and this also let you trigger the script when you type in any windows, not just in channel windows.

on *:input:*:{
if ($istok($strip($1-),yankees,32)) inc %yankees
}



#mircscripting @ irc.swiftirc.net == the best mIRC help channel
