Forums Scripts & Popups understanding ....

Can someone explain what this means:

on $*:text:/^[!@.]ts/i:#:COMMANDS HERE


Thanks

It is an on text even that will react and perform the commands if it matches the following:

The first word of the sentence must be a word that starts with:

Either an ! @ or . and is followed by "ts" which may be in any case (lower/upper).

Examples: !ts, @tS,.TS etc.

what is the on $* ... i havent seen that before and cant find reference to it in the mIRC help file.

and for the beginning of the statement:
/^[!@.]ts/i

is the /^ ... /i the code that indicates what the line starts with?

The $ prefix implies that the match text contains a regular expression.

The / are just delimiters to the match pattern.

^ means the pattern must match at the beginning of the string.

/i means a case insensitive match.
