The issue is the script looks for the first character of incoming text using regex, but the new network has font code for $1. I haven't learned regex in depth yet, can anyone please help me with the regex matches? The script has 3 text events. It is pretty complicated so I don't want to take the time to combine them into one text event, though that would be much easier for these matches. I need to match the first character of the text following the font code. Code: This is how the text with the font code looks. ###Arial Black~#7F7F7F~1~1###This is a sentence. This is the regex I was given to strip the font code normally. /tokenize 32 $regsubex($1-,/^##\.\##/,$null) These are regex matches I was given by friends but they allow all text. The first text event is supposed to check for text that starts with a . only. on $:text:/^(##\.\##)?(.)/:#:{ } The second text event is supposed to check for text starting with ! only. on $:text:%st_filter_cmd:#:{ } %st_filter_cmd = /^(##\.\##)?(!)/gS The last text event checks for all text that doesn't start with a . or a !. on $:text:%st_filter_norm:#:{ } %st_filter_norm = /(?!\.\|\^\|!)##\.\*##/gS Can anyone please help me with the proper regex to do these things? Thank you.

Thank you for your suggestion but I need to keep the 3 separate text events the way they are. I just need to strip the font code in each match.

Anyways, if you want to keep your 3 events, just use the tokenize + $regsubex on top of each event, and use $1- as if there were no extra things in front of each message Here is something you can do if you want to keep the matching part inside the event definition : Code: alias fontpatt returnex /^##\#.?#\##\Q $+ $replacecs($1-,\E,\E\\E\Q) $+ \E$/S on $:text:$($fontpatt(.test)):#:{ echo -a real message is .test } Last edited by Wims; 13/04/11 09:36 PM. #mircscripting @ irc.swiftirc.net == the best mIRC help channel
