here's the full code its coming from...

Code:

on *:input:*: {
  if (($left($1-,1) != !) || ($left($1-,1) != /)) {
    if (%color = true) {
      var %output
      var %mod
      var %n = 1
      var %t
      var %string = $replace($1-,$chr(32),$chr(1000))

      :colorloop
      %mod = $calc(%n % 2)
      %t = $mid(%string,%n,1)
      if (%mod == 0) {
        set %output %output $+ 03 $+ %t
      }
      else {
        set %output %output $+ 04 $+ %t
      }
      inc %n
      if (%n &lt;= $len($1-)) goto colorloop
      msg $active $replace(%output,$chr(1000),$chr(32))
      halt
    }
  }
}

the problem is that it still colors the text even if ! or / is the firsts character. if i remove either one of the conditions from the statement, it works fine.

Anyway, it does help if you read compound if statements out... at least for me. And replace (==) with is and (!=) with is not just to make it sound more..English. If the first letter of the first word is not ! or it is not / then... See, when you read it like that it just..sounds wrong somehow. Gramatically incorrect or something to have a sentence like that. Replace the or with and makes it sound better.... Or I might be crazy. Thats very possible. ------------- I am the self-appointed God of needlessly complex mIRCscript.
