1.a Yes you can do this without a script. In your Plus! prefs go to the conversation tab and at the bottom you will see "Auto Accept Requests". Check the box and choose from the drop down menu file transfers.
2 Don't know what you mean.
3. You get a little window that comes up and asks you to accept.
3.a I don't think so but i could be wrong.

1. AFAIK, you cannot detect file transfers with scripting on its own. You will need a packet sniffer, such as Xniff that you will find here in the forum.
a. What john-t said: Plus can auto-accept activities including file transfers.
2. It can be difficult to determine in a 2 person conversation to find out which email address sent a particular message. There are code samples on the forum somewhere. I'll edit this post when i find some examples.
3. See 1. Not without a packet sniffer.
a. If you get the email address of the person trying to add you, check out this script by deAd

Okay, Thanks for answering
I'll also look further
That helped me a bit
Stupid Question?
I'm trying to split something
var sPrefix = sMessage.split(" ");
var sPrefixTheRest = ???
Lets say the string is !nick Hello Kitty.
sPrefix[0] will be !nick
But i' trying to the a string now with all the rest of the line without the !nick, can anyone tell me hows the best way to do this?

quote:split() is usually only good if you want to turn something into an array or if you are absolutely certain that a certain string includes the exact amount of delimiters and items you want. Now, it can be done with the very slow split() function though, but you will need a lot of stuff and trickery and in the end it would still not be fail-proof.

As a first simple alternative:
code:combined into one line:
var mystring = "!nick Hello Kitty";
// Search the first space in the string
var X = mystring.indexOf(" ");
// Increase the index by one (we don't want the space itself)
X = X + 1;
// Get everything after the space, thus starting from the character at position X till the end
mystring = mystring.substr( X );
code:
mystring = mystring.substr(mystring.indexOf(" ") + 1);
But if that string is something entered by the user (like a command):
Then what if the user forget to type anything behind "!nick"?
And what if the user forget the space after "!nick"?
And what if the user has typed spaces before "!nick"?
And what if the user has typed multiple spaces after "!nick"?
etc...
All these things need to be taken care of.
If you want to seperate the parameters from the command in an OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage function, you better use regular expressions. This is the most accurate and versitile method to use for this. For an explaining example see CookieRevised's reply to Gettin data from "/" commands.
PS: do not use "!" as prefix for normal commands. A normal local command should always have "/" as prefix. Most likely, Your script isn't the only script the user is using. Using something different for the prefix than the usual prefix may confuse the user and it will give problems with some other scripts also, etc.
