For those who remember, I needed a script to convert mIRC colour codes to HTML, and stdragon made one that didn't support background colours, I have now made one that does.

it is available at http://csusap.csu.edu.au/~amason09/irc2html.tcl.gz and (like most other TCL scripts out there) it is free to use.

...or you could try the one I made but never tested

It works... but it produces bulky code with redundant tags. Mine does not (although the code produced may not be XML compatible)

There's lots of stuff you seem to be ignoring in your version..like keeping the background color (unless reset by a \003 or \017), keeping both colors through reversed parts etc...

Converting: "\037\00301,04\002a\00319b\026\037\002c\026d\003e"

Yours (almost total failure): <u><span style='color: #000000; background: #FF0000;'><b>a</span><span style='color: #FFFFFF;'>b<a style='color: #FFFFFF; background: #000000'><b>c<a style='color: #FFFFFF; background: #000000'>de</></span>

Mine (correct, but some redundant tags): <span style="text-decoration: underline"></span><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #000; background-color: #F00"></span><span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; color: #000; background-color: #F00">a</span><span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; color: #009300; background-color: #F00">b</span><span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; color: #FFF; background-color: #000"></span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #FFF; background-color: #000"></span><span style="color: #FFF; background-color: #000">c</span><span style="color: #009300; background-color: #F00">d</span>e

Mine (with new regsub at the end): <span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; color: #000; background-color: #F00">a</span><span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; color: #009300; background-color: #F00">b</span><span style="color: #FFF; background-color: #000">c</span><span style="color: #009300; background-color: #F00">d</span>e

I could probably rewrite my script to be more efficient, but people who like colors on irc tend to like scripts that suck, so why bother

One question: what does colour code 19 refer to? My script gives any colour code other than 0-15 and 99 a RGB reading of FFFFFF. if mIRC converts that into green, then I will fix it. But since I don't have a copy of mIRC available at this present time, I will have to review this later.

EDIT: Also, I see that the change from one colour code to another erases the previous background setting if none is given the second time. This will be fixed in a later version.

Code: Select all

if {$colorNumber!=99} {set colorNumber [expr {$colorNumber%16}]}
