mIRC to HTML?

darkie · Post by **darkie** » Sun Feb 23, 2003 5:04 am

Has someone made a script to convert strings with mIRC colour codes into HTML? It's been done in mIRC, and I've heard it's been done in TCL, but I cannot find it? Has anybody done it or can somebody do it?

Thanx in advance

I need something that can convert strings with mIRC colour codes into HTML, changing colour codes into blah blah blah is what I'm looking for here.

The closest I can see is code to strip mIRC colour codes, not converting them to HTML.

What I need is something that converts this: ♥3Hello☼ to, for example: Hello

I am looking for a way to do this now, however, it's not as easy as I first thought.

The problem with mIRC colour codes, they can take a while to parse in pure Tcl, using string commands. So I am looking to modify my eegexp for stripping, to extract the details, then convert it to a code.

Give me a few days, and I might have it.

You can try this, I just wrote it. Not really tested.

http://stdarg.techmonkeys.org/egg/scrip ... o_html.tcl

It doesn't support background colors right now but it's not too hard to add. I guess the best way would be to blah blah right?

stdragon, I am guessing you are a Netscape monkey right?

DIV tages would be best

I said span tags because div tags create line breaks and we need the background colors to be embedded within a line.

This looks good, would it be cool if I used this in my script? I wouldn't like to be using it without your permission, being the author and all.

Without stdragn replying, I can say yes to that.

THe whole idea behind a public forum, si that if information becomes available, and viewable byt he public, it becomes public domain, though there may be licence restrictions.

The only thing I can sugest, is you make a note in your script, who contributed code, and that anybody ripping your, must continue to note the contribution.

If you ever find code made public here, simply make a referance to the author.
