Alright, to start things off with, in "grep" when you search for something in a log, you can do: grep -irhPo "http:\S+" c:/mirc/logs/
Just for a small explanation, the switches, "i" is to make it not case sensitive, r is just a recursive file search, h just hides the file name, P tells it that it's a perl regex, and the suggestion for filter, is "o" in grep this allows it to return only the part that you grepped for.
So what I'm saying is:
filter -wwgO #chan @todayslinks /http:\S+/i
Would filter from #chan to @todayslinks, using regex. The O would simply make it only return the matched text.
So in @todayslinks, you'd have a buffer full of just "http:" links.. (instead of the entire message/topic that they came with)
As a side note, I'm aware that this can be done through scripting, I just figure it'd be faster and more efficient if it was a builtin type of thing.
; -- Example --
alias ofilter {
var %in = $active , %out = @ofilter
set %regex $1-
window -he %out | clear %out
filter -wkg $active _ofilter %regex
window -aw3 %out | unset %regex
}
alias -l _ofilter {
noop $regex($1,%regex)
aline @ofilter $regml(1)
}
; -- End of code --
In mIRC (active channel window): /ofilter /(http:\S+)/i
