reading regexp from txt files

[droolin]

Is there anything special that would needed to be done to read regular expresions from a .txt file into an array?
I have a security bot that basicatly I keep adding regular expresions for specific checks(nicks/idents/version), and I would like to organize it so that it just loops an array of regular expresions for specific checks instead of adding a bunch of if statements that basicatly do the same thing except with a different regular expresion.
Basicatly, the text file would look something like this hopefully:

Code: Select all

{[A-Z][a-z]+_[0-9][0-9]} Your chat client meets the criteria of a known spam bot.  Please change your nick if this is not the case.

Frist part would be the regular expression with the second part being the gline/ban reason. Ok, two arrays but still. Would there be anything special as far as reading that from a file into an array?
