nslookup doesn't provide info on host's online status, so the script you posted is irrelevant

*sigh* no, it's not okay as soon as you find yourself in need to use commands other than the most basic ones you use now, you'll realize that you simply must have your DCC working Well, what do you advise I do then? =\ trying to understand what I had to say in that sticky posting listed in my signa...

many do; look around (hint: there is a 'Search' button above)

R-WaT:

in case you haven't noticed, this is eggdrop scripting forum, not mIRC scripting forum

and your mIRC script is an example how NOT to use timers (or rather, when you shouldn't be using timers, but event handlers)

*sigh*

no, it's not okay

what you seem to be unable to comprehend is that any regexp emulation of XPath's predicates would be ridiculously complicated and hard to read/understand

it's like doing numerical analysis in Roman numbers - if you know what I mean

what's on line 209?

I don't think you tried anything else besides /ctcp CHAT

either you are a regexp fanatic, or you don't get my point since you don't know XPath

no no, you misunderstood that; perhaps my example was bad basically, if you locate the info you need using XPath positional predicates like for example //foo[@bar='moo'][5] , your script will continue to work even if they add tons of stuff under nodes #1 to #4; you can't do that with regexps - there...

you'll love it even more when I overcome my laziness and add private spam scanner (a la spambuster) and possibly dynamically generated web statistics - so you'll have the big picture, which hosts/domains are the biggest offenders

I considered making one, but dropped the idea, because even single letter repeatance would be as complex as '(?i)(a{5,}|b{5,}|c{5,}|...|z{5,})' and therefore be too much CPU time for parsing a single line. Remember, a [a-z]{5,} would not only match "aaaaa" but also "mouse" :D. A...

explore my signature

and try again with my-ip set in the config file, or fix/remove that setting if incorrect

Uhm.. DragonLord, how exactly should I rehash when I can't DCC to it? =\ so what exactly did you do after reading it? Tried the CTCP and other things. And none worked. what other things? did you try any of the suggestions for resolving firewall/NAT problems? my feeling is that people give up too ea...

$uhost means user@host, i.e. no nick; whereas userfile record's HOSTS list is interpreted as consisting of full hostmasks, i.e. nick!user@host

so you need to use *!$uhost instead of $uhost

or use [finduser]
