mIRC still doesn't support UTF-16, and the byte offset marker is optional. And mIRC shouldn't convert anything unless I desire it too...

As for returning the matchtext, you should be able to use a subsequent call to $fread with $regex to match any text. I guess it could help to fill $regml when fseek -r is used, but I'm not sure how you'd return the matchtext of a wildcard.

Thirdly, $fread() isn't "forced" to read to the next line, this is simply the default behaviour, since it's the most common file operation. You can always utilize the switches to make it read N bytes, or read N to a bvar and set a %var to $bvar(&bvar,1-).text


Here... I'll get right to the point...

Now, just the opposite... take a look at the following snippet...

Text between tags is hard wrapped. And /fseek <-r|-w> <handle> <string> appears limited too the end of line. The solution would be to include a $fseek(<handle>, expression) function I suppose, which would return the length of the matched string. Then you could use $fread(<handle>,<length>,&bvar).
