This is my first go at tcl, so bear with me.

I'm having some problems with a regex function. If someone could take a look at it for me, I would be gratefull Smile

The code is kind of long, so I won't paste it here. Take a look at pastebin for it Smile

Thanks again

there is a problem with the regex I think. It doesn't give me any errors, but it does not do anything even though I know the line of text matches the regex pattern

the pattern work in my mirc script. Unless the tcl regex engine is very different from the on used in mirc, it should work

Tcl (Tool Command Language) is a different animal to any mIRC "script".

I suggest you read Tcl Built-In Commands - regexp manual page.

tcl's regex uses | to *concatenate* strings, not OR them..Maybe that's your problem? It also uses () to capture a segment for reporting... And there's also a -nocase option, so you don't need to search for various cases of "WB"

Just going by the docs and my own observations:

An ARE is one or more branches, separated by `|', matching anything that matches any of the branches.

A branch is zero or more constraints or quantified atoms, concatenated. It matches a match for the first, followed by a match for the second, etc; an empty branch matches the empty string.
