Regex/caps - mIRC Discussion Forums

I'm not very clued up on regex, but done a bit of hunting around
Basically all i want to do is..
any caps that appear in $1- i wanted to colour them, red for instance
EX: Hello, HOW is it GOIng

i started off with something like this

Code:

on ^*:TEXT:*:#:{
var %caps $regex($1-,/[A-Z]/g)
echo -ti20 < $+ $nick $+ > %caps
}

Code:

on ^*:TEXT:*:#:{
  echo -ti20 $+(<,$nick,>) $regsubex($1-,/[A-Z]+/g,$+($chr(3),04\t,$chr(3)))
  haltdef
}

thanks qwerty

This is one of the cases where [A-Z]+ (instead of [A-Z]) really makes a difference (not just in efficiency, but mainly in string length).

This actually deletes the capital letters, and leaves the lower case ones, Looks a bit odd

Ah yes, surround [A-Z]+ in (), ie /([A-Z]+)/g

This should work though

Code:

on ^*:TEXT:*:#:{
  echo -ti20 $+(<,$nick,>) $regsubex($1-,/([A-Z]+)/g,$+($chr(3),04\t,$chr(3),99))
  haltdef
}

* fixed regex
* added color 99 so numbers in text wont be treated as colors

oh you beat me to it :P

why use 99 when 04 works just as well? >.<

Code:

//echo -a $+($chr(3),04,text,$chr(3),99,more text)

versus

Code:

//echo -a $+($chr(3),04,text,$chr(3),04,more text)

versus (what he was trying to avoid)

Code:

//var %text1 = 10 green bottles, %text2 = 6 bluebottles | echo -a echo -a $+($chr(3),04,%text1,$chr(3),%text2)

Why? 99=Default line color. if i were to put 04 instead of 99 ALL the text would be red

Cheers guys!

so.. (ctrl+k)99 == $chr(15) (ctrl+o) ?

ctrl-o also kills bold and underline
