Forums Scripts & Popups Highlighting and escaping wildcards

Hi,

I've got an issue with highlighting. I have my nicks and certain keywords etc highlighting correctly.

One of the keywords to highlight though is preceded by the * char. Unfortunately this is a wildcard in mirc so the highlight fails.

I have tried enclosing the keyword like "*keyword" but this just makes an empty slot appear in the list of keywords.

Anyone have any ideas here to help me out?

TIA

Replace *keyword with:

$chr(42) $+ keyword

If you have *keyword* then use:

$chr(42) $+ keyword $+ $chr(42)

Thanks Riamus2, works perfectly!
