My version has these features, don't know how far fatfreechicken is with implementing these features in his version...

http://code.google.com/p/busyblocker/

I've not started the Excluded Contacts part yet, but I've added a feature so you can set it to react on whatever status you want (instead of busy), unblock all contacts when you return your status to online, and I've also added multiple messages before blocking.

Not sure when I'll finish though, but here's a preview

Maybe make a status like Not-Online or something, or select multiple statusses, just an idea
Great script tho

and this for both the "status to activate on", as for the "status to reset" on...

PS: Just a note/something to always consider when implementing tags: what would happen if a user actually want to use "<n>" in his message? Or how does he need to do it? I suggest the use of the literal escaping character used in all kinds of languages: "\"...

indeed, and don't split up messages by every "'\" it finds, but find out first if a double "\\" is found (like in most languages also) so you can use "\\" if you don't want the "\" to split up the messages

that's actually a long way around and the logic behind it can be made extemely shorter. You don't need to look for double slashes "\\" and then for single slashes at all.

All you need to do is look for a single slash "\" and treat every character (or tag in this case) after it literally. In other words a double slash autoamtcially already produce a single slash.

So your suggestion is? <n> for new message and \<n> for the tag?
I thought you meant something like \n...

Any ideas on how i can do this? I'm not the best when it comes to scripting and I'm not sure how to do it . At the moment, each message is stored in an array and I'm using .split("<n>") to seperate them...

Any help appreciated

well you could use my way, but Cookie knows a better (and shorter) way, but i also have no idea how he wants to do that...
