I wana del all lines using the first word
%var-remove = test

Any help ?

You know, you really need $fline to work for this to work really well...

But, here's a way without using that since you couldn't get it working...



Use: /removelines test

Note that I put the inc in an else because if you remove a line, you don't want to increase the counter.

you could also use /filter that would probably be faster.

/*

Usage: /filterx <window> <first words to match>

Example: /filterx @test test

Note that I use a regex pattern which will match standalone words only. Meaning if you specify "tes", it will not remove lines starting with "test" since the word "tes" is not the same as "test". If you do want that, then we can just use a simple wildcard instead of regex.

*/



For those wondering why I don't put: filter -wwcx $1 $1 $2- *, thats because if you would specify "test" it would not match on lines that only consist of the word "test". The space between test and the wildcard in the filter command forces there to be a space after "test".

THANKS ! Great Job

Now .. How Do I Strip The Code first lol

cause all the lines have BOLD test 2 test this < ect
and it dels everything lol

Thanks :P

This is probably why your $fline has trouble too. I did mention you had to be aware of and take into concideration control codes.

Use $strip to remove codes. So, in my example, you'd use:

if ($strip($gettok($line(@test,%c),1,32)) == $1)

Basically, you put $strip( ) around anything that has control codes. Or, you could just do something like:

if ($gettok($line(@test,%c),1,32) ==  $+ $1)

(i.e. Putting bold on the input itself if you know it will always have bold).

Or, just use /removelines Test


And, as mentioned, this is probably your issue with $fline. Try that out again and see if it works if you use $strip there.

And in my example simply make this small change (in red):

filter -wwcgb $1 $1 ^(?!(?i) $+ $2- $+ (?=\s|$))

In other words, add a "b" to the flags, which will strip burc codes when trying to match.

Thanks Guys ..

With all the help

works great now ..
