However, if the variable value is "Good morning MrFood \| BNC" (with spaces around the "\|") then it is because it is being treated as a command separator. To get around that issue you need to prevent the %msg variable from being evaluated when the timer is set so that it is only evaluated when the timer goes off and knows to treat it as plain text. Code: .timer 1 1 .msg # $+(%,var)

HuMoR H	Yes, with a space between \|. I get a google results and when i try to show the results that happen. For example, search TyC and the result is: TyC \| Sports... Now i'll try your code... Thx. Cya!.- EDIT: Works! Thx... Last edited by HuMoR; 27/03/07 04:23 PM.
