Echo
From Scriptwiki
Prints text in the specified window using the specified color.
/echo [color] [-cdeghiNtsaqlbfnmr] [color name] [#channel|[=]nick] <text>
| Switch | Meaning |
| s | If a channel/nickname isn't specified, it echoes to the status window. |
| d | If a channel/nickname isn't specified, it echoes to the single message window. |
| a | If a channel/nickname isn't specified, it echoes to the active window. |
| e | Encloses the line in the line spearators. |
| iN | Indents the wrapped line by N characters. |
| h | Forces lines to hard-wrap so resizing the window doesn't change the line. |
| t | Prefixes the line with a timestamp if global time stamping is on or timestamping is on for that window. |
| q | Makes it not display the text if called from an alias using the . prefix. |
| l | Makes it apply the highlight settings to the line that's displayed. |
| bf | Make it apply the beep/flash settings in the window it is echoing to. |
| n | Prevents the echo from hiliting the window switchbar icon. |
| m | Indicates that the line should be treated as a user message, not an event. |
| g | Prevents the line from being logged to the log file. |
| r | Applies the strip settings in the messages dialog. |
| c | Uses the specified color name from the colors dialog. |
- Note that this text is only displayed in your own window and isn't sent to the server.
Example
/echo -a moo
This will print moo to the active window.
/echo -sb moo
This will print moo to the status window and applies the beep setting in the window.
/echo 0 -g #help.script moo
This will print moo to the #help.script channel window in white with preventing it from logging to the log file. This will not print anything (because of the "." and -q switch).
/.echo -q hello
