Forums Feature Suggestions "What User Has Said" Feature

Hello,

Many times I find myself looking for what an user has said in the channel. Then I have to scroll back, or open the log file and search for his nickname. It's very cumbersome. It would be neat to have an "What User Has Said" feature, in the nick pop-up menu. This could open a tool-window with the text-lines and time-stamps of the user's interventions. Also, by double-clicking a line, mIRC could scroll to that particular line in the channel window.

Regards.

You can search the active window by simply using the ctrl-f combination enter the nickname and click "up". Same goes with logs. If that method isn't what you want I'm sure you or someone else could make a more complex search via script. To me these methods are more than good enough

You can also use /findtext word to search for 'word' in the active window. Obviously, change 'word' to whatever you're looking for.

Hmm, I didn't know about these. They're not in the menus. Thanks guys, that's close enough!

If I wanted to see all the lines in #mIRC that I have said (of the lines still left in my channel buffer), I can use filter, like this:

//window @@ | filter -wwcpb #mIRC @@ *<Hammer>*

The first -w filters from the #mIRC window.
The second -w filters to the newly created/cleared @@ window.
The -c clears the @@ window first, in case I've used the @@ window already.
The -p wraps the lines if necessary.
The -b strips BURC codes before matching.
The *<Hammer>* searches for only lines that Hammer has said>

> //window @@ | filter ...

Wow, thanks! I'll give it a try.
