Possible workaround: - put the pattern in a local variable and pass the variable as the parameter (clearer in general) - use the octal or hexa representation of the ')' character - use $chr() and $+ directly Last edited by Wims; 20/12/11 12:04 PM. #mircscripting @ irc.swiftirc.net == the best mIRC help channel

[artist] (song whatever) (77 list) something like this: Code: (?:musiclist)\S+ \[([^\x5D]+)\] \(([^\x29]+\)) \(\*(\d+)[^\x29]+\)$ i need the "artist" "song whatever" "77" and the musiclist is important.

I only had a few minutes to look and the end of your post said you needed the 77. I didn't even look over what you already had to see what it was attempting to do.
