no. THe reason I showed it the way I did, was so u could see:
on $*:TEXT:/^\S+(v| $)/i:#:{ }
when this event triggeres it might see "$)/i" as an identifer,
hence why u would surround the matchtext with $()
that is, if anything, an example of where you would certainly not want to enclose the matchtext in
$(). malformed expression aside, surrounding it with
$() will have mIRC attempt to evaluate
$)/i as an identifier. without it, mIRC will leave the expression alone and handle all parts of it literally which is, presumably, what we want :P
