And it will search the whole .txt file and if multiple lines of text are found with the search item it will /msg the user all of them back to them. An example: User enters - Code: /msg bot search blah Then the bot searches a .txt file for the text "blah" and on each line the text "blah" is found it will /msg $nick [whole line] and will do that for each line the text "blah" is found on. Hope this makes sense and you can help me.

Code: on :TEXT:search :?:{ var %string = $2- var %file = filename.txt var %cnt = 1 var %ttl = $lines(%file) while (%cnt <= %ttl) { var %temptext = $read(%file,%cnt) if (%string isin %temptext) { msg $nick %temptext } inc %cnt } } Just specify the filename in the line: var %file = xxx.txt

Also, unless you use a timer or the /play command, you will flood yourself off of the network if you have more than 4-6 matches at once. Invision Support #Invision on irc.irchighway.net

For sure you need protections, but there are many types of protection you could apply and he didnt ask for that. I just showed one way of doing it. And I didnt know the filter command was able to do that. Looks quite efficient indeed, glad you demonstrated that.

I was just pointing it out to the OP (notice the reply wasn't to you) so he/she knows about the possible problems. Invision Support #Invision on irc.irchighway.net
