please take the time to read my post properly:

first, as a sidenote, note that the above fixed scripts all made the nick variable local. Since you use a timer to restore the nickname, that variable should be global (as you did it in your original script) and not local as in the fixed snippets.

The new chat wnd send message funciton you proposed works perfectly, thanks

you're welcome...

actually now that i did take the time to read, and with a few modifications my script is working perfectly now.

EDIT: how can i make a regular expression to split "hello world, hi" into "hello" and "world, hi" will

code:

---

RegExp(/^\s+(\S+)\s+(.+)$/i).exec(sMessage)

---

do it?

Make a quicktext with the command and/or perform many custom actions quickly after eachother, you'll see it will screw up.

This is because events are fired before the actual event occurs, not afterwards..., using timers is always tricky and errors could always happen because of timers triggering too soon or too late..., and you can't catch a message being interpreted (the /me command being processed on screen and "« I" being replaced by your nickname) with scripting...

So, you can't make something fail-proof for this, unless you revert to making a proxy and sending your own messages directly via the protocol.

In other words: your script might work, but it will not work perfectly

teaching regular expressions via a post here is way to difficult. I suggest you read up on some tutorials. And start by learning the syntax of regular expressions as used in JScript:
* MSDN: Regular Expression Syntax
* MSDN: Regular Expression Object
* some unofficial tutorial (this tutorial is specifically for JavaScript, not JScipt. There are differences!
* etc...

The proper code for what you want could be something like:

code:

---

RegExp(/^(\S+)\s+(.+)$/i).exec(sMessage)

---

RegExp.$1 will be "hello"
RegExp.$2 will be "world, hi"

Note that for the above regular expression the sMessage variable _must_ be in the form of "something<at least 1 spacing character>something" or it will not work.

See my long previous post, it includes two pieces of code which split a string into "something" and "all the rest".
