The nice thing about registering mIRC is getting rid of the nag screen so you can launch and connect automagically at boot.

$20 US dollars for a lifetime mIRC license doesn't sound like a bad deal at all. You can even negotiate with Khaled, the mIRC creator, for a cheaper price if you can't afford to pay the cost.

its says that i have been useing it for 156 or something days lol
and well i cant right click to set my colours so i have got "gummo's" colour script now.
i looked in the script file and they were gone but it doesn't really matter as i can get new ones.
in all the rooms i got in im a @ or higher but when this happened i was a + in them. i tried '/ns update' and it did only some of them. but its ok now.

mIRC used to (maybe still does) if it is unregistered reset the mirc.ini file some time after the 30 day trial period had ended. It did not delete scripts but it would appear as if it did since they would be unloaded after the reset. Also, after the reset all color settings would return to default settings. Maybe this is what you have experienced.

well i just found out that my mIRC has deleted all my other scrips including my colour one and it doesn't reconise me anymore.
why does everything go wrong

KyleJack-Daniels

You may not really need this script. It is best used with custom pop-ups and response type events when you need to make sure the first word is capitalized for instance if you begin a sentence with a nickname (some people don't capitalize their nick).
There may be other occasional uses.

usage: $caps(string of text or $nick or $1 etc)
Example: Friend Pop-up:say $caps($1) is my friend!
(This would insure that any nick you selected would appear capitalized
regardless if that persons nick began with a capital letter.)

To easily add the alias to your alias section you can simply
enter in mIRC editbox => /alias caps return $regsubex($1-,/^(.)/S,$upper(\t))

To test you could
enter in editbox => //echo $caps(test first letter of first word is capitalized.)

In actual practice it would not be necessary to send the whole line to $caps just whatever word needed to be capitalized. Also, there would be no reason to use it for 'static' words as you could simply type those in with the caps already in place.

lol yeah im kinda new to the scrips, i have a colour script and the brb,lol,ect scripts and they work but its just this script that doesn't really work.

Simple, but handy, I love it :)

gooshie, I have a feeling Kyle is not going to digest much of what you've written here. lol

Perhaps in simple words with a couple of examples to demonstrate how this alias is supposed to work. Remember lots of people are new to and learning about MSL.

KyleLack-Daniels

On these small, stand alone aliases it's best to NOT use the alias word
and add it into the alias section of your mirc client. Typically we tend
to post it with the alias word simply to make it obvious to the most
casual observer that it is in fact an alias. On more elaborate scripts
with on events that require a few aliases just for its use, by preceeding
the alias with the word alias it can be kept with its parents/dependents
in one script file and loaded into the remote section of the script editor
for easier reading, modifications, and troubleshooting.

Please consult your mirc help files under alias section and after that if
you still have questions feel free to return here for more help.

i need help it wont let me do it, am i doing something wrong? can you help me please

ah very well jethro_ i didn't think of that. and yes nice catch indeed sunslayer

Nice catch sunslayer. My example doesn't have that single-lettered bug. :p

@RJosh, true but i would use * instead of + so it will match singe lettered words

RJosh, alternatively, you can do:

alias _upper return $regsubex($1-,/(?<=\A|\s)(.)/g,$upper(\1))

This does the same thing. It's shorter and doesn't require the $lower() identifier.

@Sunslayer;

$regsubex($1-,/(\w)(.+?)(\W)/g,$+($upper(\1),$lower(\2),\3))

will capitalize the first letter and make the rest of the word lowercase for each word which looks better imo

I'm not really sure why you had to use (.+)(\W|\b). You should have only needed two backreferences at most.

alias _upper return $regsubex($1-,/(\w)(\w+)/g,$upper(\1) $+ $lower(\2))

@Testor thats because Nick-away is one word :p

$regsubex($1-,/(\w)(.+?)(\W|\b)/g,$+($upper(\1),$lower(\2),\3))

will separate words by any non alphanumeric char

And if you Lower the whole string, then new sentences are all also lower cased, unless it actually does that o.O. if your referring to

$lower(\2)

that doesn't lower the whole string, just $right($1,-1)

$regsubex($1-,/(\w)(.+?)(\W)/g,$+($upper(\1),$lower(\2),\3))

will capitalize the first letter and make the rest of the word lowercase for each word which looks better imo

Simple but i could see using it.
