Word(s) highlight to google - mIRC Discussion Forums

I'd like to see the ability to highlight a word or words within a chat window and then launch a google search of those terms.

There is a google search script at http://www.mircscripts.org/ though I doubt it works by highlighting.

You could create an f key alias, that does something like

Code:

/run http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&amp;q=clipboard+contents+with+space+replaced+with+pluses+and+punctuation+removed

You can use $cb / $cb(n) to reference the clipboard contents.. from help file.

Code:

$cb
Returns the first 256 characters of the clipboard contents.

$cb(N)
Returns $crlf delimited lines from text currently in the clipboard.

Properties: len

$cb(0)		returns the number of lines in the clipboard
$cb(0).len	return the total length of all lines in the clipboard
$cb(1)		returns line 1 from the clipboard
$cb(1).len	returns the length of line 1

Then you would just highlight something, and press the f key you assigned.

nice idea , that would work

but dont you mean highlight/ctrl+c/f-key ?

mIRC's windows copy whatever's highlighted regardless of pressing Ctrl+C.

cool

wasnt aware of that.

Indeed, mIRC uses auto-copy, which is why the selection is lost as soon as the mouse button is depressed.
