Help with addon

[err0r]

My users are using a chat that has style tags in the messages. I would like to strip them out of the text completely

There are times when there are multiple instances of style tags in one message. Using regex this should be pretty simple to accomplish but I'm more fluent in mIRC scripting and am a bit n00b to xchat and it's snippets

a sample output would be

err0r: [style ff:Comic Sans MS;co:#4682B4;b;u;]Test would go here[/style]

The output needs to be

err0r: Test would go here

the ff co b and u will all be dynamic.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Save the following as stripstyle.pl in your xchat profile directory and load it. This may be a bit greedy, as it doesn't look specifically for some of the keywords you mentioned, cause there may be more.

Code: Select all

use Xchat qw(:all);
use strict;
use warnings;

register('Strip Style', '001', 'Strip [style][/style] tags');

hook_server('PRIVMSG', sub {
   my $instring = $_[1][0];
   my $edited = 0;
   # using a while loop instead of /g due to embedded styles
   while ($instring =~ s/\[style [^\]]*\](.*?)\[\/style\]/$1/i) {
      $edited = 1;
   }
   if ($edited) {
      command('recv '.$instring);
      return EAT_ALL;
   }
   else {
      return EAT_NONE;
   }
});
