The $strip identifier Removes colors and/or other control-code formatting from text.
Synopsis
$strip( <text> [,burcimo] )
Parameters
TextText string from which to remove colors or control codes.
Optional types to strip from text. Default is $strip(text,burci)
b Bold $chr(2)
u Underline $chr(31)
r Reverse Colors $chr(22)
c Colors $chr(3) followed by N[,N]
i Italics $chr(29)
m The Color/Other settings from mIRC-OptionsIRC//Messages
o The Only-If settings from mIRC-OptionsIRC//Messages/If-more-than
Note from the above that the control-code entered at the keyboard is not always the same one sent. For example, you press Control-K to precede numbers in colors, which is also $chr(11), but it actually sends $chr(3) which is same as Ctrl-C. Same goes for entering Ctrl-I for Italics but the text actually contains $chr(29).
Example
- Two consecutive ^B's used within a bad word does not alter the display, but prevents a match against the badword list unless $strip is first used on the text
on *:TEXT:*:#channelname:{ var %i $CheckForBadWords($strip($1-)) ; Using Strip to find 'bad words' that could have been disguised by colors and control-codes }
