# echoprivmsg

Outputs text to a KVIrc window

Usage

    echoprivmsg [switches] <nick> <user> <host> <text>

Description

Outputs a <text> to the current window in the privmsg format.
The <nick> <user> and <host> parameters are formatted as specified by the user preferences (for example the nick may use smart colorisation). If you don't know the username and host then just use '*' for that parameters. The message will also get the highlighting rules applied. If the 'w' switch is present, outputs <text> to the specified window instead of the current one. The <window_id> parameter is the global id of the window that has to be used.
Please note that this is not the same as the standard -r rebinding switch: -w causes the specified window to be used only for output, but the command parameters are evaluated in the current window.
If the 'i' switch is given, it uses the specified icon scheme (icon and colors), otherwise it uses the default one (0).
If the -n switch is present then the highlighting rules are not applied.
If the -x switch is present then the message will never cause the notifier window to be popped up.
If the -f switch is present then the message will never cause the system taskbar to flash.
Actually -x and -f have a sense only if highlighting is used and thus -n is not present.
For more information about the icon/color schemes see $msgtype. The KVIrc view widgets support clickable sockets that can be realized by using special escape sequences.

Switches

-p[=<nick_prefix>] | --prefix[=<prefix>]
The message is printed with the specified custom nickname prefix. If <nick_prefix> is omitted then an empty string is assumed.
-s[=<nick_suffix>] | --suffix[=<nicksuffix>]
The message is printed with the specified custom nickname suffix. If <nick_suffix> is omitted then an empty string is assumed.
-w=<window_id> | --window=<window_id>
The message is printed to the window specified by window_id
-i=<color_set> | --color-set=<color_set>
Causes the message to use the specified icon scheme (icon and colors).
-n | --no-highlighting
Do not apply the highlighting rules
-x | --no-notifier

-f | --no-flashing
