I'm working on a simple irc bot in C#, and I can't figure out how to embed the typical mirc control codes for bold/color etc into string literals.
Can someone point me towards how to do this?
The mIRC color code format is described here. I guess you're asking how to embed a ^C in a string.
This is known as Caret notation. According to C0 and C1 control codes, ^C is:
'\x03'
Embedded in a string:
"blabla \x035,12to be colored text and background\x03 blabla"
I create an enum and assign the hex values for the control codes to them.
enum ColorCode {
White = 0, /**< White */
Black = 1, /**< Black */
DarkBlue = 2, /**< Dark blue */
DarkGreen = 3, /**< Dark green */
Red = 4, /**< Red */
DarkRed = 5, /**< Dark red */
DarkViolet = 6, /**< Dark violet */
Orange = 7, /**< Orange */
Yellow = 8, /**< Yellow */
LightGreen = 9, /**< Light green */
Cyan = 10, /**< Cornflower blue */
LightCyan = 11, /**< Light blue */
Blue = 12, /**< Blue */
Violet = 13, /**< Violet */
DarkGray = 14, /**< Dark gray */
LightGray = 15 /**< Light gray */
};
enum ControlCode {
Bold = 0x02, /**< Bold */
Color = 0x03, /**< Color */
Italic = 0x09, /**< Italic */
StrikeThrough = 0x13, /**< Strike-Through */
Reset = 0x0f, /**< Reset */
Underline = 0x15, /**< Underline */
Underline2 = 0x1f, /**< Underline */
Reverse = 0x16 /**< Reverse */
};
In my Python IRC bot, I can get bold to show up in irssi using \x02sometext\x02, which shows up like:
this is \x02some text\x02
this is some text
As for colors, I believe you're looking for \x03AA,BB where A is the foreground color and B the background color (what you'd type in after Ctrl+K). Not 100% for sure, though. Try connecting an IRC client using telnet, and check what mIRC does when you use Ctrl+K.
You're not likely to get a standard cohesive behavior across IRC clients...ANSI escape codes are processed by more of the old-fare staple Unix clients like irssi, and mIRC sometimes does its own thing.
This might be down to the specific chat library I was using (ChatSharp), but I couldn't get the current accepted answer to work. What I ended up with was:
channel.SendMessage((char)3 + "5,12hello");
