Forums Scripts & Popups if's with /play

is it possible to use if's on the lines messaged to a channel using /play i.e. if $1 = Error set colour of line red?

or would I have to use $read?

You can use /play -a that will call the specified alias for each line with $1- containing the line.

ok so I did: this makes it message

#chan $1- to the channel

if I change it to it sends msg to #chan but seems to colour the channel name and not $1-

[22:23:10] -> ** #chan test1
[22:23:11] -> ** #chan test2
[22:23:12] -> ** #chan test3

where am I going wrong?

edit: I haven't added the if yet just trying to get -a and colour working properly

The only thing you need to specify in the /play command is the alias name, use "/play -a playclr test.txt" with :

thanks wims but that is giving me:

[22:37:29] <firefox> #chan test1
[22:37:30] <firefox> #chan test2
[22:37:31] <firefox> #chan test3

in colour - I don't want the word #chan to show in the msg

if I change it to msg 9 $+ $1-

it shows to others

[22:38:49] <firefox> test1
[22:38:50] <firefox> test2
[22:38:51] <firefox> test3

but not in colour

and gives me

[22:38:49] -> *#chan* test1
[22:38:50] -> *#chan* test2
[22:38:51] -> *#chan* test3

msg 9 $1-
gives me:

[22:41:36] -> ** #chan test1
[22:41:37] -> ** #chan test2
[22:41:38] -> ** #chan test3

which then leads to in status:

No such nick/channel
-
No such nick/channel
-
No such nick/channel
- (in colour)

try
basic coloring:
added if-condition:
or shorter:
You may as well use $pnick in place of $1

it works great thanks Horstl
