We need some magic. Been playing with this using different regex stuff (we are new to this regex) and coming up short changed: Code: alias pim { var %text = http://www.cow.com :: www.cow.com :: www.com :: thewww.cow.com :: thewww.com return $regsubex(%text,/\b(www\.)\b/ig,www dot $+ $chr(32)) } Which results in: http://www dot blah.com :: www dot blah.com :: www dot com :: thewww.blah.com :: thewww.com but we want: http://www dot blah dot com :: www dot blah dot com :: www.com :: thewww.blah.com :: thewww.com We'd actually like it to find any .net .org etc... stuff. Any help appreciated.

If there's no particular reason that it shouldn't match, the alias below should do the job: /alias pim return $regsubex($1,/(?<=^\| )((?:(?:http\|ftp\|irc\|news\|gopher)://)?(?:[a-z\d](?:[a-z\d-][a-z\d])?\.)+[a-z]{2,}(?::\d{1,5})?)(/\S\|(?= \|$))/gi,$replace(\1,.," dot ",",) $+ \2) Last edited by qwerty; 08/09/06 11:59 PM. /.timerQ 1 0 echo /.timerQ 1 0 $timer(Q).com

I want like: www.blah.com to be www dot blah dot com www.com was an example to make sure that it didn't turn out to be www dot com. To see if it would ignore it like it's suppose to. Say someone types in the chat "hey everyone go to www.blah.com" I want it to instead show "hey everyone go to www dot blah dot com" And say someone types in the chat "hey everyone go to www.com" I want it to instead show "hey everyone go to www.com" not "hey everyone go to www dot com" Same goes for http://www.blah.com i want http://www dot blah dot com. It's for agenting, agent tends to ignore the .'s when speaking thinking they are periods and not dots. So when agent speaks we want to hear dot and not "silence"

I wish like, there was actual tutorials for regex, tutorials that actually translate to english what all that means. That is intresting how it turns out though. Code: http://www dot cow dot com :: www dot cow dot com :: www dot com :: thewww dot cow dot com :: thewww dot com but it's not: http://www dot cow dot com :: www dot cow dot com :: www.com :: thewww.cow.com :: thewww.com some better examples: (if what I'm wanting works when it's all done) This is a url http colon //www dot awebsite dot com. Everyone go to it. This is a url www dot awebsite dot com. Everyone go to it. This is a url www.awebsite. Everyone go to it. This is a urlwww.awebsite.com. Everyone go to it. This is a urlwww.com. Everyone go to it. thanks anyways I've bothered enough. It must be like tough cuz, I can't really explain what I'm looking for. I mean I know what I want to be returned, but I just can't explain it. Sorry to of taken up so much of your time . Thanks again.

How would regex recognize that this isn't a valid url? You could make it reject anything that doesn't start with "www." but that's too much; you'd miss addresses like msdn.microsoft.com (basically any address that doesn't start with www). Another case that I'm not sure you clarified is this: Everybody go to <a href="urlhttp://www.awebsite.com" target="_blank">urlhttp://www.awebsite.com</a> Should that be considered a valid url? /.timerQ 1 0 echo /.timerQ 1 0 $timer(Q).com

But that is if I could ever master regex in 24 hours. I suppose id more than likely just leave it to http://something.this.that to keep it simple. have it search for just http://..* and replace all occurances with http colon //* dot * dot *. I've seen some regex in action on other languages, and it can do multiple search and replace perameters I know it. But I dunno about mirc's version of regex if that's possible . Anyway, thanks for your help and suggestions, seems I needed something that wasn't possible yet.
