What I would like to be able to do is the same check again say every 5 mins
You definitely don't need to repeat this check. You only do it once: when you join the channel, and your whois on-join (I assume you already have one
) will take care of the rest. Try this code:
alias mwhois {
;
; Syntax: /mwhois [in the channel window or from an event]
;
[color:purple]; OK, let's figure out what we have here...
; This command scans the channel nicklist and writes only
; regular users to tmp.txt
;
; The regex pattern /^[^@+]/ excludes users with status symbol

;[/color]
filter -wflcg # tmp.txt $+(/^[^,$prefix,]/)
[color:purple];
; This part is tricky. To understand how it works you'd have
; to read the help file...
;
; (hint: "whois" plays a special role here)
;[/color]
.play -a raw whois tmp.txt 5000
}
