Hello monks,
Well, it's been a while since I've been active here; I have been helping other with coding, on such places as OpenNAP, and of course, IRC. -- When others paste code, it's always a good idea to parse the code, and exclude their nick, or other appended information; So I wrote an all purpose chat client paste parser.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# Chat client paste parser
# Author: dusk
use strict;
die "Usage: $0 [input file] [output file] [nick] [0:1]\n" unless $ARGV
+[3];
warn "Remember: 0 and 1 denote timestamped, or not -- respectively\n";
my $nick = $ARGV[2];
open (INPUT, "$ARGV[0]");
foreach (<INPUT>) {
open (OUTPUT, ">>$ARGV[1]");
if ($ARGV[3] == 0) { print OUTPUT "$1\n" if /^\W$nick\W\s(.*)/ }
else { print OUTPUT "$1\n" if /^\W\d.*\W\s\W$nick\W\s(.*)/ }
}
close OUTPUT;
close INPUT;
Edit ar0n -- fixed whitespace

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
