It should echo, if you type 8 words back to back, but for some reason it isn't. Code: on :text::#: { if ($regex($1-,/(\S+\s*)\1{7,}/i)) { echo -a Matched Successfully } } Thanks!

I think mIRC also chokes on the comma, separate the regex: Code: var %regex = /(\S+)(\s*\1){7,}/i echo -ag $regex($1-,%regex) Last edited by Loki12583; 14/11/15 11:21 PM.
