Should, but don't for some reason ... gets the text, but no formatting (mirc6.03, btw)
script follows:

.random: {
%lastcolor = $readini(my.ini,lastcolor,last)
inc %lastcolor 1
if (%lastcolor > 50) %lasttopic = 1
writeini my.ini lastcolor last %lastcolor
msg $chan $read(lastcolor.txt,%lastcolor)
}

this reads them sequentially (rather than randomly) but should STILL pick the color codes out, shouldn't it?



But then again, what do I know ... I'm NoScRiPtR wink
