Forums Scripts & Popups On text and $me

Hi there,

I tried a few different solutions to try and get an on text trigger for $me, but to no avail.

Basically, the code I have now looks something like

With 'bot' being the bots name, but certain factors need me to refine that to the current nick, instead of a set string, something like:


Would prefer not to have * and use an if statement to do it, but I guess I might have to if it isn't possible any other way.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Try

Tested and appears to work fine, thanks!

EDIT: Not knowing much about regex, is it possible to make it match only its nick and nothing close to?

Example: The code above will work with say !bot, but it would also work with !botbanana and the such.

Thanks again.

Try

Makes sure that !do or !$me is either followed by nothing or a space.

Works to perfection, thanks again!

You're welcome.

That is a long regex. You could have done it like so:\Q and \E in regex makes special characters literal. A nick can consist of them. This will trigger upon Just the way you want it.

I should've used \Q\E as well as $+ instead of $+() to avoid the $chr() mess, yeah, thanks.

Enforcing the end of line-$ is not what he wants, though,
he wants !do or !$me (not !bot, he wanted to replace !hisbotname by !$me) followed by bot commands.

So I'd suggest
