| I couldn't seem to find this in any of the help files, so I figured I might as well ask here to either get pointed to where to find the info I need or get it explained. :)
All I'd like to know is how to make the equivalent of "IF THEN ELSE" checks with regular expressions, for usage as both aliases and triggers. Is there a way to do that? |

| I'm not sure what you mean by that for a regular expression - it either matches or it doesn't.
However there are a couple of things you can do.
One is to call a script, the script can have if-then-else in it.
The other is to use "or" in a regular expression, eg. match on:
^(Nick|Khamura) pages you.$
That would match on:
Nick pages you.
or
Khamura pages you.

| Another thing you can do is to give the trigger a sequence, thus if you had two triggers:
Sequence 90: Nick pages you.
Sequence 95: * pages you.
Then if you are paged by Nick the first trigger will match, otherwise the second one. This is a form of "else".
