I have tried many different combinations,
but i can not find the right ones.

the snipplet is suppost to count the codes

Code: Select all


  set codes(found) [regexp -all {(002) (003) (037)} $text]

Code: Select all

regexp -all {\002|\003|\037} $text

or

Code: Select all

regexp -all {[\002\003\037]} $text

instead of \003 it should be \003[0-9]{0,2}(,[0-9]{0,2})? I think due the *variables* it has like: 2,4 or 2, etc. A simple test should reveal If I'm right or wrong.

I don't think he cares what color's used

how would i look for spaces?

i tried:

Code: Select all


  set spaces(found) [regexp -all {" "} $text]
  puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :spaces(found) is $spaces(found)"

thanks for the "codes" help, it works like a charm

The quotes between the braces are taken litterally, so your rule would match quote-space-quote. Get rid of the quotes and it'll work just fine

works great, thanks.

1 more question

how can i get " [ ] " into a channel msg?

Code: Select all


puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :[exp/too many codes]"

puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :{[exp/too many codes]}"

puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :"[exp/too many codes]""

all 3 do not work

[06:51] Tcl error [protect:channel]: invalid command name "exp/too"

[06:53] Tcl error [protect:channel]: extra characters after close-quote

Only the [ must be .. umm.. forgot the word

basicaly it should be \[]

Yes, but escaping the "]" doesn't hurt and will prevent confusing behaviour if you have an unterminated "[" some place before the unescaped "]"

Umm.. if you are carefully then there should not be a problem, but basicaly yes, is nice to *escape* them..
