It would be nice as a feature if it could be done, I don't think it's a bug though as the Timers section in the helpfile only mentions wildcards with the
off parameter. For now though it's simple enough to script.
pause_timers {
; Usage: /pause_timers <wildcard-timername>
var %i = 1
while $timer(%i) {
var %t = $ifmatch
if ($1 iswm %t) $+($iif(!$show,.),timer,%t) -p
inc %i
}
}
resume_timers {
; Usage: /resume_timers <wildcard-timername>
var %i = 1
while $timer(%i) {
var %t = $ifmatch
if ($1 iswm %t) $+($iif(!$show,.),timer,%t) -r
inc %i
}
}
Exactly the same code except for the switch, you might want to combine them into a single function with an extra parameter. They can accept a . prefix to silence the
* Timer x paused messages.
