$regex and text codes? #64927 23/12/03 02:37 AM

For example, the following works: Code: on :TEXT:/(a\|b\|c\|d)/iS:#: /echo -a bla But if I replace a,b,c and d with the codes for bold, underline, colour and reverse then the event no longer fires. I tried to prefix the characters with \ ie: Code: on :TEXT:/(\\|\\|\\|\)/iS:#: /echo -a bla but this does not appear to work. Am I doing something wrong? Could I possibly embed a $chr() inside the match? Code: on :TEXT:/($chr(2)\|$chr(31)\|$chr(22)\|$chr(3))/iS:#: /echo -a bla Am I missing something very obvious? Feel free to make a fool of me . Thanks.

Also your events aren't using the $ prefix so they're not even performing regular expression matches, but I assume that was simply an oversight when you posted your code here. EDIT: Looks like I took too long replying. Last edited by starbucks_mafia; 23/12/03 03:12 AM. Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.
