I have a black back ground on my mirc
When I use this code if someone is typing in black it shows up in black on my screen. Is there a way to have the script refer to the color codes used in the color dialog? When others talk in the channel it shows up in black with my black back ground.

code:
on ^*:TEXT:*:#: {
echo -tlmi2 # $+(,,%bclr,-={,%clr,,,%nclr,$chr(32),$remove($nick(#,$nick).pnick,@,+,%,!,&,~),$chr(32),,,%clr,]=-,) $1-
halt
}

/help echo


Have ya looked?

1) Just in case, make sure you did not set the color "normal text" in the colors dialog to the background color.
2) replace in your script the last ctrl-B char "" with a ctrl-O "". (The current ctrl-B aka $chr(2) will do/undo a bold formatting, but will keep all other formattings - eg colors. A ctrl-O aka $chr(15) on the other hand side will undo *all* text formatting, which in turn ensures $1- is displayed like received)

Or do you want to be able to read all text - regardless if it was colored in your own background color - without stripping all the other colors?

Thanks Dr Sol for the input on the /echo. I should of thought of that and looked at the help file first. It seems I have more to add to this script to correct any unforeseeable issues like this with in the total script. I just took it as $1- would repeat the line as it was posted in the channel including the colors the line was posted in. Not taking in account that some folks still post in b&w.

And thank you Horstl. I guess when I tried to simplify the script I did not think of a minor issue like that wound cause a unforeseeable problem.

lol I like DR_Sol better than DJ_Sol
