O.P. [req] Automatic BRB
Last time I went to take a leak, it hit me. Howabout a script that picks up when you tell a contact that you'll brb and changes your online status to be right back, and then when you tell one of your contacts your back it'll set your status back online.

And perhaps if you tell a contact you'll bbl (be back later) it can change your status to away, because in general bbl is a longer time than brb.

One thing to improve functionality would to have a customizeable list of phrases  for brb, bbl, and i'm back, so that people with different talking/IMing styles can all use the script with equal ease.

Pretty sure you can do this with quicktexts... 'brb' as the shortcut and '/brb' as the message.  Same with anything else.  Then anything that you would say when you come back and set the message to '/online'

Yes, but then your contact wouldn't get the message brb, unless you added both of them as the quick text. Either way, it wouldn't be hard to write a script for it...

O.P. RE: [req] Automatic BRB
Hmm, i suppose that would work, but my idea was to pick out the word (words? acronym?) brb out of a sentace and change the status, so that it would work without 500 quicktext, ie it would work for
"brb i'm thirsty"
and
"someones at the door brb"
without having to go and make. "/brbdrink", "/brbdoor" etc.

hmm.. i'll take a look at the scripting documents, scripting can't be that hard. if anyone else wants to take a stab go right ahead.

Use "brb" to set status to Be right back

Use "back" to set status to your previous one

RE: [req] Automatic BRB
I have also created a script like this one. It is slightly different. It changes the status to BRB when you send a message containing "brb", "be right back" or any combination, like "b r back" with or without spaces, in any case.

If there is the need, I will also add bbl.

Hope you like it

Yes, that is very similar to the one that I used. Regular Expressions are the way forward!
