A simple bot color changer to use type

!color 0 - 15

you will need to put $read(color.txt, s, $chan) after each msg $chan on *:LOAD: {
echo -s 3you have just loaded toclafane's color changer
echo -s 3to use type !color 0 - 15
}
On $*:Text:/^(!theme|!color)/Si:#:{
if ($nick($chan,$nick,@&~)) {
if ($2 == $null) {
msg $chan $read(color.txt, s, $chan) $+ Please use: !theme [color] E.g !theme 3
msg $chan $read(color.txt, s, $chan) $+ My color themes are: ( $+ 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9 10 10 11 11 12 12 13 13 14 14 15 15 $read(color.txt, s, $chan) $+ )
msg $chan $read(color.txt, s, $chan) $+ To reset $me $+ 's color theme for $chan use: !theme 0
}
else {
write -ds $chan color.txt
write color.txt $chan  $+ $2-
msg $chan $read(color.txt, s, $chan) $+  $+ $nick $+ , your new color theme will look like this in $chan
}
}
else msg $chan $read(color.txt, s, $chan) $+ Sorry $nick $+ , you cannot use this command.
}

It stop at the word by itself or followed by a space. That way you don't trigger the regex if someone says, for example "colorful" or "colourful"

I used to utilize the word boundary \b, but it doesn't stop punctuation characters from triggering it to what I call it a "false positive." A sentence usually consists of many words in this format: "word1 word2 word3," so ( |$) will make sure it either proceeds with a space or ends the word as is.

It also allows you to use $2 if you don't want to use $regml() to refer to the value.

May I ask what the point of the ( |$) is?

One great thing about regex is that it can match for both words at the same time using ? as an optional alternative.

Yes, jaytea. Well said.

While !$2 is fairly interchangeable with $2 = $null, it's not completely identical to one another in its function.

bad idea in this case. 'if (!$2)' is not the same as 'if ($2 == $null)'. if (!$2) is equivalent to:

Code

 


'0' is a valid colour (although the script's description is inconsistent with the message in on LOAD) and so we wouldn't want to use 'if (!$2)' since $2 = 0 will satisfy that condition.

Jethro_, one thing I know he said 1-15 in his description, but in the code its self they are 0-15 so you will have to allow 0 =P

You can indicate the color range directly to ensure that it starts from 1 to 15. And if $2 isn't supplied, it will message the warning as usual.

if you are going to use regex you may as well use $regml() just replace where you have $2- or $2 with $regml(2)
this is just a example :
