Forums Scripts & Popups sockets

ok i got some great ideas from that script and its teaching me alot about sockets and what im trying to do is this line ":ATMA!~fixed@Matrixn3t.net PART #future" or any line like it
what i want it to do is get the nick from between :<nick>! so it and thats all with just a remove line any ideas how?

$remove($gettok(:ATMA!~fixed@Matrixn3t.net,1,33),:)

err i want it to extract any nick not just that certain one so if a guy named joe walk in it and its all funky and [censored] i want it to just say joe

yeah i need to know the variable you sockread into.

alias name {
var %addy = $$1
return $right($gettok(%addy, 1, $asc(!)), -1)
}

You have a token: ":ATMA!~fixed@Matrixn3t.net PART #future".
It's ASCII number ($asc(!)) is 33. You need the 1st part the string separated by chars like it.
So, you'd have it using $gettok(:ATMA!~fixed@Matrixn3t.net PART #future, 1, 33), which returns ":ATMA".

To get rid of that ":", you can use either $remove(:ATMA,:) or $mid(:ATMA,2).
Concluding the method, you'd have $mid($gettok(:ATMA!~fixed@Matrixn3t.net PART #future,1,33),2).

Now, supposing your variable is %var, you'd use $mid($gettok(%var,1,33),2).

Or if you want it to be an alias, you'd use..
alias _nick { return $mid($gettok($1,1,33),2) }
..Then you'd use $_nick(<your line here>) everywhere.


Such a colourful-detailed reply.. I need sleep..

Nice
