README.md

History replacer using sed-style expressions.

Configuration

Enable SedRegex on the desired channels: config channel #yourchannel plugins.sedregex.enable True

Usage

After enabling SedRegex, typing a regex in the form s/text/replacement/ will make the bot announce replacements.

20:24 <~GL> helli world
20:24 <~GL> s/i/o/
20:24 <@Lily> GL meant to say: hello world

You can also do othernick: s/text/replacement/ to only replace messages from a certain user. Supybot ignores are respected by the plugin, and messages from ignored users will only be considered if their nick is explicitly given.

Regex flags

The following regex flags (i.e. the g in s/abc/def/g, etc.) are supported:

  • i: case insensitive replacement
  • g: replace all occurences of the original text
  • s: (custom flag specific to this plugin) replace only messages from the caller
