Hi, is it possible in eggdrop, to let it directly ignore all codes in the channel and queries?

like mIRC's ^/ignore -k *!*@*

You can use a small tcl script with a filter to to filter out all color codes, in channel texts, channel actions, channel notices and private messages/queries, private actions and private notices.

The eggdrop dosen't have a *built in* procedure for this, some IRCD servers have. Check the IRC server the eggdrop sits for an existing user mode to filter them out. Or, as sugested by awyeah invent an procedure to do it.

Well on DALnet we have a channel mode +c to filter out colors, but not bolds and underlines... maybe some networks have other modes for channels as well as users.

As for the filter, it is quite simple, search the ppslim filter in this forum you will find many results. Use it... thats what I use its very effective or if you want you can make a small filter with regsub -all yourself.

Oh, one more thing I remembered.
There is built in command for stripping.

Well versions 1.6.15 or greater have it.
Type '.help strip' in DCC (partyline) with the bot and you can check it out.

Code: Select all

<adapter> *** awyeah joined the party line.
<awyeah> .help strip
<adapter> [15:57] #awyeah# help strip
<adapter> ###  strip [modes]
<adapter>    Allows you to remove embedded 'attribute' codes your partyline output. Valid
<adapter>    options are:
<adapter>       b - remove all boldface codes
<adapter>       c - remove all color codes
<adapter>       r - remove all reverse video codes
<adapter>       u - remove all underline codes
<adapter>       a - remove all ANSI codes
<adapter>       g - remove all ctrl-g (bell) codes
<adapter>  
<adapter>    The mode can also be a modifier like '+c' or '-bu' or '+ru-c'. If
<adapter>    you omit modes, it will show your current setting.
<adapter>  
<adapter> See also: fixcodes
<adapter>  
<adapter> ###  strip <user> [modes]
<adapter>    Set the strip level of another user. A master can't set their own strip
<adapter>    flags without prefixing the modes with a '+' or '-'.

Eh, but I remember this is just for the partyline (DCC) output and not for channel texts and messages.

He wanted to strip colour codes for channel and queries, not for party line. Anyway, good point tho.

Quote from UnrealIRCD's documentation for channel modes:
S - Strips all incoming colors
c - No ANSI color can be sent to the channel

Thats why I in the end mentioned partyline, as I forgot before.
I wanted to delete the post, anyway.. nevermind.
