ok i moved the * like you said and added me to the userlevel (chanop) to test it....now it dont work when i say to be opped like it did before when i used @ instead of the named level...all i wanna do is find out syntax's for commands, add few users to the list and well use the script as a bot. come ta think of it i should have known what i was steppin in before attempting this cause well scripting is confusing to me cause i am real new at it....and not to mention im learning new things tryin differen usages ...and well not letting unopped users op up an stuff.......oi wheres my tylenol chewables when i need em LOL
