Forums Scripts & Popups regex help

Hi

I would like a regex to see if a string is in the format that is returned by $address(nick,2) and return true if it is.
example return true if *!*@user-irc.server.com

thanks in advance

To do wildcard matches like that, you can use the ISWM comparison.


if (*!*@user-irc.server.com iswm $address(nick,2)) { ;do something }

Hi genius_at_work
this won't help me as i will be comparing it to random strings. i need the regex to be able to look at any random string and if the string is in mIRC's format of $address($nick,2) (*!*@the-string.could.be.anything.com) it would return true.

I hope i made myself clearer.

Thanks again

I still don't think I follow completely.

Do you want to be able to tell if a string is:



If so,

$regex(%string,/^\*!\*@.+$/)

This should match the above description, with NOTHING before or after it.

-genius_at_work

that would also return 1 for mask type 4 :p

a more accurate example would be /^\*!\*@[^*!@]+$/

there's even a non-regex involved method, check if $mask($replace(mask,*,a,?,1),2) == mask. not as strict as the first method since it requires the mask to be valid, still quite usable though

yo jaytea where u've been?

perfect just what i needed.
