on *:TEXT:*:#: { if ($highlight($1- $lf) != $null) { editbox -p # $nick $+ : } }This should do the trick. Depending on your highlights, it might not. You'll have to search the forums, there's been several discussions about the poor implementation of $highlight() and all the drawbacks of ways to determine if/when a highlight occured. Since this also allows iterating highlights, a "number" could return a false result, being the highlight at position N in your highlights should "$1-" be a number. Hence the dirty work-around of "$lf" added into the check to prevent this. This could break regex matches with line anchors like /^something$/, so again it's not perfect. If i remembered the thread i would've posted a link, my vague search for $highlight had far too many results I got tired of sifting to find the thread with all the information and gripe about $highlight()
For a general highlight entry in "/abook -h" such as normal match (non-regex) containing words: "$me" this would most likely suffice just fine.
$highlight(N/text)
Returns the Nth line in the highlight listbox, or if text is specified, returns the properties for the highlight line that matches text.
Properties: text, color, sound, flash, message, nicks, regex, cs, chans
