Highlighting Script

By MichaelA on Jan 16, 2011

Well, I got bored, and made a highlight script. Basically, it makes a tip in the bottom corner if your screen if mIRC isn't the active window, and it also logs all highlights to a @Messages window

Enjoy ^_^

Edit: Thanks to Jethro_ for the help and fast reply :D

on *:TEXT:*:#:highlighter $1- 
ON *:ACTION:*:#:highlighter $1- 
alias -l highlighter {
  if ($regex($1-,/\Q $+ $me $+ \E\b/iS)) {
    set %highlighter.chan $chan | set %highlighter.msg $1- | set %highlighter.nick $nick | set %highlighter.network $network
    if ($appactive) { if ($chan != $active) { echo -at 4,1.:[7 $+ $network $+ 4]:. .:[8 $+ $chan $+ 4]:. .:[9 $+ $nick $+ 4]:. $1- | /2 } }
    if (!$appactive) { $tip(High,Highlight Alert, $+ .:[ $+ $network $+ ]:. .:[ $+ $chan $+ ]:. .:[ $+ $nick $+ ]:. $1- $+ ,60,$null,$null,1,$chan) }
  }
}
alias 1 {     
  window -a %highlighter.chan
  window -De @Messages
  echo -t @Messages 4,1.:[7 $+ %highlighter.network $+ 4]:. .:[8 $+ %highlighter.chan $+ 4]:. .:[9 $+ %highlighter.nick $+ 4]:. %highlighter.msg
  unset %highlighter*
}
alias 2 {
  window -De @Messages
  echo -t @Messages 4,1.:[ $+ %highlighter.network $+ 4]:. .:[8 $+ %highlighter.chan $+ 4]:. .:[9 $+ %highlighter.nick $+ 4]:. %highlighter.msg
  unset %highlighter*
}

I don't get it.

Ikki, the main reason your regex pattern won't work for "hello nick" is that you made the $1 without the dash affixed to it as (where I marked it red): > $1-Yes, I second napa's suggestion of using mirc's built-in highlight feature.

You should use an alias like this for the highlighter so you don't make two repeated routines for both action and text:

ON *:text:*:#:highlighter $1-
ON *action:*:#:highlighter $1-
alias -l highlighter {
  if ($regex($1-,/\Q $+ $me $+ \E\b/iS)) {
  ;the rest of code goes here
