I appreciate the help, but what was just last posted merely gave me a report of the event in the status window. What was last posted did not work by itself, but I did get it to work by adding this, the 'if' part if ($1 = trigger text) to look like this:
on *:TEXT:*:#: {
if ($1 = dork) {
echo -s ON TEXT EVENT IN CHANNEL @ $time
echo -s Nick : $nick
echo -s Channel : $chan
echo -s Text : $1-
}
which then posted to status window:
ON TEXT EVENT IN CHANNEL @ 13:43:48
Nick : my nick
Channel : channel i was on
Text : dork
while this would be a nice way to keep track of things, it still is not accomplishing what I want, which is to post a line of triggered text to channel AND nick simultaneously. If you use single specific 'on text' lines such as these:
on 1:TEXT:*find 80*:#:/echo $chan Please don't try to 'find' anything else from 80.
you can have dozens of them literally, because I do. But what I haven't quite figured out yet is how to do what I stated above, at the same time. That was really what I was looking for.
Oh, and btw, I have completely remove any other 'on text' events other than this one, to make sure I can try to get it to do what I want first, only then can I ...-ahem-....'try' to nest it properly later.
Thanks again for any help.
