Ok, I'll try to make this simple:
From the help file: The match text can be a wildcard string, where:

* matches any text
& matches any word
text matches if text contains only this word
[edit]

the bold part is my concern. I have no problem making it trigger on text using the simple '1liner' I'll call it, like this:

on 1:TEXT:hello:#:/msg $chan Welcome to $chan $nick!

(this will obviously ONLY trigger when hello, and hello ONLY is said.) Now my problem: When I try to use the embedded type of 'on text', for a singular response to dozens of text triggers, it does work on the text word[s], but unfortunately, it ALSO is triggering on the match word[s] followed by a space, and than anything else after that. Example: "hello how are you?" will also trigger when I set ($1 == hello) || followed by others. Example:

Code:
   if ($1 == word1) || ($1 == word2) || ($1 == word3) || {
    echo -s Channel: $chan
    echo -s Text: $1-
    echo -s Nick: $Nick
    .timer 1 4 .msg # 10 $nick : 3 $1 04is not acceptable language here
}


With that coding, it is triggering on word1<space>(anything else after that) and instead what I want, is to trigger on word1 ONLY, by itself, as I mentioned above in the single one-liner example from the help file.

I have many words and different versions, so the embedding style is the way to go for sure. Can anyone please help me to find the simple thing I am missing here? Thanks in advance.
