An alias and identifier in one, BONUS! ;_)

usage is simple. when you simply want to message some nice coloured text to a channel...:

/rb this is my fancy coloured message.

as an identifier:

$rb(-i, text to colourify here)

returns the text with random colours.

I know that stuff like this has been done to death, but I'll post it regardless.

Also, it requires another identifier I posted, $padnum, to make sure that you won't end up with glitches when $rand returns a single digit and there's numbers in text. thanks to WorldDMT for pointing that out, I never realized when I posted this.

yes, I also realize that it's probably slow and inefficient code, but I was bored and couldn't find a better way this quickly.

Update: it's probably better now, sort of. I guess.

alias rb {
   var %input $replacex($iif($1 == -i, $2-, $1-), $chr(32), $chr(160)), %x 1
   while (%x <= $len(%input)) {
      var %output $+(%output,$replacex($mid(%input, %x, 1),$mid(%input, %x, 1), $+(,$padnum($rand(2,15), 15),$mid(%input, %x, 1))))
      inc %x
   }
   $iif($1 == -i, return %output, say %output)
}
