I said the regex coukldn't deal with comma's in the string =which is true=. I did not say that $ansi2mirc(string) wouldn't work, the original poster did (see original post, bottom line). I never said commas were the problem in $ansi2mirc (but they will be - mirc identifiers cannot deal with comma's in text strings since comma's are used to separate arguments), when I said comma's would give a problem, I was referring to the regex.
