IRC Colors.

[Conno]

Good Evening!

I'm not sure how many of you clickers are familar with the IRC Protocol & IRC Color Protocol in general. I've spent most of tonight trying to work out a system for parsing strings that use IRC Colors for display in the RTF object.

IRC Colors use the Control Character ^C3 (ASCII: ) Followed by a number between 1 and 14 to define the color (Colors and detail as pointed out in )http://www.ircxpro.com/protocols/color.txt

Basically, Any text that comes after the # (#number 1-14) would be transformed into the corrsponding color, either until the end of the string or until another  (^C3 character) is found.

E.g.

Hello 4World

Hello would appear in black (default), World would appear as Red.

I was wondering if anyone would know the best way to do this, remembering that multiple colors might be used in a string. I'm absolutely stumped on ideas. If anyone could post an example too that would be much appreciated.

All the best, and I look forward to your replys

Oof... I think there used to be an example somewhere on the net. erm... Well, I think to do this requires the "find" and "select" actions of the RTF object.

Also, don't forget that a comma and a digit after the first digit adds a background. For instance:
(^C3)0,1Test
Would make the text white with a black background. I believe this is possible with the RTF object aswell though.
