ye i misunderstood what you were saying Jethro_

WorldDMT, I've realized that you use $(,var), which is the same as $eval(var,2) or $(var,2) or $var(var,1).value, but that identifier is bugged, not a feature.

with a comma (marked in red) , you'll get an insufficient parameter error. Without the comma, it returns the variable name only.

i dont think i do it many times and that's work

test this

alias t {
  var %x $+ $me 1
  echo 4 -a evaluated 1: $(,$+(%,x,$me))
  echo 6 -a evaluated 2: $($+(%,x,$me),2)
  echo 3 -a not eval. 1: $+(%,x,$me) 
  echo 5 -a not eval. 2: $+(%x,$me) 
  if $(,$+(%,x,$me)) { echo -a test ok for evaluation }
}

sunslayer, did you not miss my post in response to yours above? The dot > /(.+)/ will match "literally everything," be that so-called characters or strings that you've mentioned here. The only difference is that your example will match one or more strings/characters because you added the plus sign. Mine only has a dot, which will only match the single repeated character or string.

Ok you're right, but according to blodix's script, he wants to match for the same repeated letters 6 or more, not one or more other letters...mine only matches repeated characters/strings not just random letters

But WorldDMT, I want to match the variable value "on" in my example, not blodix's. By not using a number, it'll only get matched for the variable itself. Besides, when you do > //echo -a $(,$+(%,warnon,#)) with a comma (marked in red) , you'll get an insufficient parameter error. Without the comma, it returns the variable name only.

@sunslayer:> [quote]about if (aaaaaa isin $1-) || (bbbbbb isin $1-) || ........ use regex .{6}
will match any character repeated 6 times, i.e. "hello there" would be matched
[/quote]i give him only an eg

@jethro_: about "set $+(%,warnon,#) on" u can set it 1 and 0

set %warnon $+ # 1
then the condition can be

if $(,$+(%,warnon,#)) { ... }

Yes, that's what the dot is for to match everything (literally)

Of the regex I've learned, and I quote, > most regex engines have a "dot matches all" or "single line" mode that makes the dot match any single character, including line breaks. Use the dot sparingly. Often, a character class or negated character class is faster and more precise.

it will match both letters and strings

Ok you're right, but according to blodix's script, he wants to match for the same repeated letters 6 or more, not one or more other letters...

Anyway, I agree with you. Sooner or later, some spammers are gonna find an "inventive" way to tamper with the code. We can't be too careful these days...:p

Jethro_, the + was for matching strings, i.e. babababababa

I thought I'd edit your script and improve upon it, and here is it:

on @*:text:*:#:{
  var %r = /(.)\1{5}/S
  if ($regex($1-,/!warn o(n|ff)/iS)) { 
    if (!$nick(#,$nick,oh)) {
      notice $nick you need to be op or hop to use this.
    }
    elseif ($regml(1) == n) && ($($+(%,warnon,#),2) != on) {
      set $+(%,warnon,#) on
      msg # 7Idle-op is now ON
    }
    elseif ($regml(1) == ff) && ($($+(%,warnon,#),2) == on) {
      set $+(%,warnon,#) off
      msg # 7Idle-op is now OFF
    }
    else { notice $nick It is already $($+(%,warnon,#),2) }
  }
  elseif ($($+(%,nickkick,$nick),2) > 1) && ($regex($1-,%r)) {
    kick # $nick 5 repeated characters in your exceeded!
    unset $+(%,nickkick,$nick)
  }
  elseif ($regex($1-,%r)) && ($($+(%,warnon,#),2) == on) {
    inc $+(%,nickkick,$nick)
    msg # 4[Warning]  $+ $nick $+  Please don't exceed $&
      5 repeated characters in your sentence. Thank you.
  }
}

blodix's snippet is 2057 bytes, and mine is 738 bytes.

On thing I don't get is the topic of this snippet "Idle-op." This script has nothing do with idling. It should have been titled "Repeated Character Kicker with Warnings."

sunslayer, you don't need to use {5,} and .+ just

/(.)\1{5}/

will do the trick to trigger upon the repeated characters 6 times or above. Try it and see for yourself.

about if (aaaaaa isin $1-) || (bbbbbb isin $1-) || ........ use regex .{6}will match any character repeated 6 times, i.e. "hello there" would be matched

/(.+)\1{5,}/

will match any character or string that is repeated 6 times or more

if (!$+(%warnon,#))
must be evaluated

if (%warnon [ $+ [ $chan ] ] != $null)

would be better as

if (!$+(%warnon,#))

usually not a good habit to use multiple text (or any) events on the same script, they can clash :)

on *:TEXT:*:#:{ 
if ($1 == !warn) { 
if ($2 == on) { ... }
elseif ($2 == off) { ... }
} 
else { ... }
}

hi

if ($nick isop $chan) || ($nick ishop $chan) {
can be
if $nick(#,$nick,oh) {

when u set or unset a variable u dont need to evaluate $identifer or %var so

set %warnon [ $+ [ $chan ] ] sup
can be
set %warnon $+ # sup

about if (aaaaaa isin $1-) || (bbbbbb isin $1-) || ........ use regex .{6}
