So if I wanted to do a hangman type of script and replace all letters with a <space>_<space>, I wouldnt need to script it. As I said, a MINOR addition and it can be scripted now I know.

Extending $regsubex to $regsubex(string,re1,replacement1[,re2,replacement2,....]) would make more sence though $maybe

It's not a mirc hangman game, but I use mirc and one or two other programs to make coding a soupload (yeah, thats self censored lol) easier Those who fail history are doomed to repeat it

$regsubex is a charm

sucky example:

Code:

alias hangman { 
  set %word carbon-oxide
  echo -a $regsubex(%word,/([a-z])/g,$+($chr(32),_,$chr(32)))
  ;simulate a guess for C
  set %word $replace(%word,c,C)
  echo -a $regsubex(%word,/([a-z])/g,$+($chr(32),_,$chr(32)))
  ;simulate a guess for O
  set %word $replace(%word,o,O)
  echo -a $regsubex(%word,/([a-z])/g,$+($chr(32),_,$chr(32)))
}

$maybe
