pubm bind doesnt seem to take triggered by bots messages on the channel, only other messages -- am i missing something with pubm bind ? or should i use a different bind for such ? i needed to get whats the bot is saying inside the channel.

thx in advance

you cant. the binds trigger on what the server sends the bot. server does not send the bots own messages back to it. you'll have to rewrite every proc that sends text to the server to log it at the same time.

Incedentally, I don't know of any IRC client whose scripting routines allow you to trigger on own text.

well, there are ways around it. the most obvious one is a rewrite of putserv/puthelp/putquick to filter through a custom procedure before sending to the server. Won't make for very efficient scripts though,

Why do u want to trigger something on the bots own text?

Jimbo.

Many people like to capture in a log, what the bot says (mainly with AI scripts), so they can posts stats on the bot, and other items.

Souperman, I am not sure if you mean any text sent by the user.
It could be a line sent by programming (scripting), not manually typed by the user.
In case you are referring to the later (manual typing) then mIRC (as an irc client) does allow you to trigger on own text.
If it's the former you're talking about (lines sent by user as a result of a code getting executed) then I agree with you, I have never seen any irc client that allows triggering on own text either.

The following example is taken as is from mIRC help files:

The on INPUT event triggers when you enter text in an editbox and press enter.

Format: on <level>:INPUT:<*#?=!@>:<commands>

Example:
on 1:INPUT:#mIRC:/echo You entered the text " $1- " in the #mIRC window
