What does the goto have to do with the benefit? It's showing people a way of achieving the final result of what this snippet is intended. A goto is pretty much a jumping point to go to a certain condition and execute it.

What you've been showing in your example, Mr. Dean, is that you're sugarcoating it with all the extra stuffs that serve no benefits and are purposeless.

Also, > on :text:$($iif(gay* iswm $strip($1-),$1-)):#:{You don't need to add the dash behind the $1, the way the on text match works with $iif() doesn't actually require you to include it. if you don't believe me, try and see for yourself.

P.S. I'll quote jaytea's explanation of this matter:> the matchtext is applied to the string early on, before the remote identifiers are set up and before $1 is tokenized. this allows you to use leading, trailing or multiple consecutive spaces in your matchtext and have it remain accurate, and also saves mIRC from having to perform the extra work if the event fails to trigger.
