Forums Scripts & Popups Remote Script

How do I make a remote script that kicks and bans people for typing certain WORDS IN CAPS for 10 minutes?

on 1:TEXT:???:#channelname:/ban -ku600 #channelname $nick 2

the ??? is because I don't know how to make the remote script so it only recognize a word that is entirely in caps.

Do I have to use different a different command??

Not the greatest way, since the list of words could be arbitrarily large, but it does what you're asking.

Add another word by placing |WORD3 (in captial letters and including the leading pipe character) after WORD2. This is only an example.

Obviously, change #Channel as well.

Also, this will trigger if the words are anywhere in the text.

Using the given example words, it will trigger on any of these:

This is WORD1
This is WORD1!
This isWORD1!
WORD2isABadWord

Why are you using $() when there are no identifiers/variables to evaluate? You also don't need to make the pattern capturing, as you are not using $regml anywhere, or using backreferences in the regex pattern.

Just my laziness to remove it. I copied it from another code I was working on at the moment.

I'm not sure what you mean by pattern matching and $regml as I'm not familiar with that identifier.

Would be wise to include the S modifier. You are still making the pattern capturing, there's no need as /a|b/ will work as intended, capturing like (a|b) serves no purpose in your expression. However, if you decide to add word boundaries (which you should for less false positives), then it's another story. \ba|b\b then is different from \b(a|b)\b.

Would you mind explaining what the S modifier is and how it is implemented? My understanding of regex isn't too in depth, yet.

It ignores control chars when trying to match the expression against the input string.

You can compare it with doing if checks on $strip($1-) instead of $1-

Its implementation is the same as all other modifiers. Either you make it a global setting by specifying it after the last regex delimiter (usually / unless the m character was used to specify custom regex delimiters), or you specify it locally somewhere in the regex.

Examples:

/a|b/S <- global, applies to entire expression

/(?S)(?:a|b)/ <- specified locally, with global application as specified at beginning without ending it

/(?S)(?:a|b)(?-S)c/ <- specified locally, only counts for the a|b part, not the c part.

I see. Thanks for the explanation. I'm slowly catching on to regex.

Another question, what is the meaning of the ? in the explanation? My assumption is that it's a way of denoting a 'tag/closing tag' for lack of a better term.

? has many different meanings in regex, but in my examples the one with the S enclosed denotes the start and/or end like tags indeed. In the last example, the ?: means that the expression following it enclosed in the brackets will not be captured for later reference. /a|b/ is thus the same as /(?:a|b)/
