I'm telling him to try and figure out what my regex means while using that site. It is NOT easy to manage through it, and it is NOT easy for people just learning regex to use. If you're one of the 3% who can honestly learn better from reading than you could from looking at examples and trying them yourself, good for you..But other than that? No, majority of us don't learn that way. Since this is a beginning script, I'm assuming he's beginning mIRC fairly recently. In which case the best method for learning a new language is through looking at other scripts, examples, and trying them out/playing with it. Could I be wrong? Yes. Am I most likely wrong? No. Like I said, it's how a majority of others learn and remember.
