Example two: $read(file.txt, s, this) would return a line (randomly?) with the word 'this' in it. Thanks, -ed Last edited by acemiles_ed; 01/03/03 04:13 PM. Network Outages Free Java Chat

I could split it into a bunch of categories, but some may fall in both, and I could end up having 400 txt files with all the possible search terms... I will edit my first post with a better text file example.. Network Outages Free Java Chat

Code: on :text:!quote ?:#:{ window -h @@ filter -fwc quotes.txt @@ * $+ $2* if $filtered { msg $nick $line(@@,$rand(1,$ifmatch)) } close -@ @@ } /.timerQ 1 0 echo /.timerQ 1 0 $timer(Q).com
