View source for $(...) (events)

This identifier allows you to create a dynamic match parameter in an event.
 $(...)

You can use [[$1-]] to reference the incoming line.

== Example ==
 [[On_text|On *:TEXT]]:$(* [[DollarPlus|$+]] [[$me]] $+ *):#: {
  [[echo]] -a [[$nick]] just mentioned your nickname in [[$chan]] $+ .
 }
This example will echo to your active window whenever someone mentioned your nickname.

== Note ==
You must use $(...) in the match text event for all other identifiers to be evaluated.

 Correct:
 on *:text:$(hello [[$me]] *):#: { ... }
 ''Incorrect:
 on *:text:hello $($me) *:#: { ... }''

$(...) is an alias of [[$eval]]. See the $eval page for more information on how it is used.
