Forums Scripts & Popups on text and [A..Z-0..1] detection?

Is there a way that i can detect a range of chars with on text?

For instains.
When someone only uses 012 in there message and nothing else. like '120001220200102002', that i can detect it and akt on that?
Something like [0..2] to detect it..
And mabye also [0..2-a..b]????

Thx in advance.

I think this might be better done using regex, but I'm not familiar enough with regex to give you a code using it, however, the above should work

Thx... that works .

Might want to strip the text (might not as well for all i know) Also I dont understand why you selected to start from $2 ?

[code]
on *:text:*:#:{
set %entry $remove($strip($1-),0,1,2,a,b)
if !%entry { <actions if entry contained only 0's, 1's, 2's, a's and/or b's> }
}
[code]

* Maybe change to set %entry $remove($strip($1-),0,1,2,a,b,$chr(32)) to catch spaces if they dont count as other characters, since "0 1 2 a b" well produce a 4 bytes string of 4 spaces in a row, so it looks blank but isnt.

i indeed changed it to $1 forgot to mention that...
I need to check if it is HEX or BINARY only.
For a script im writing atm.

on $*:TEXT:/^[01 ]+$/S:#: would react to binary only (and spaces) in a channel.
on $*:TEXT:/^[0-9A-F ]+$/iS:#: would react to hex only (and spaces) in a channel.

I was right...a regular expression would've been shorter, and therefore better, as the amount of computing time is less. Glad mine worked...I think the reason I used $2, rather than $1 is because I was rushing to get a response posted while on my coffee break.

Regex really are the way to go (I however have to look up all the symbols becuase i never remebr what they mean)

i did a comparision test using a 1000 reps of

while (%i) { if (!$remove($$1-,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f,%s)) { } | dec %i } %s = $chr(32)
while (%i) { if ($regex($$1-,/^[0-9A-F ]+$/iS)) { } | dec %i }

the results were around 1.650 ticks for remove and regex was 0.195 thats like 8 to 9 times faster

regex and dll which one is the fastest

there two different things you cant compare them.
