did u read rfc 1459.
the server sent 5 agruements: nick, nick's ip, PRIVMSG, channel, message..
u r simply wrong. the server must sent "!" to channel or Private channel
or dcc..
i am not thinking about vb6. I am thinking real vb.net not using mid,
left or right.
btw, i haven't tried regual expression. i am reading book "The
programming visual basic.net
by francesco balena" but i'm only into chapter 2
regards chapter 2.
regards

What do you mean by that? That you know how to do it in VB6 but not in
VB.Net or that you're looking for a VB6 answer? In the latter case,
you're in the wrong group.
For VB6 I suggest you check out the Mid function.
For .Net there are a couple of ways of doing this, the most clean one
would be to use regular expressions :
Regex("([\\w\\-\\[\\]\\`_\\^\\{\\|\\}]+![\\~\\w]+@[\\w\\.\\-]+)",
RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.Singleline);
But considering the 'slowness' of regex in the framework atm and the
amount of privmsg you will receive on busy channels, i think you're
better of using simple string manipulations like you did.
Pi********@96.Red-213-97-140.pooles.rima-tde.net PRIVMSG #india :any1
seen a-kash?
eL*************@81.213.252.106 JOIN #india
Dim str As String = "Pi********@96.Red-213-97-140.pooles.rima-tde.net
PRIVMSG #india :any1 seen a-kash?"
Dim intI As Integer = str.IndexOf("!")
Next I would check if you have a result, things like PRIVMSG in irc
can be send from a server directly (though highly unlikely). If they
are send from a server there will be no "!" in them. So you will have
no real nick. So you should check that intI > -1
str = str.Substring(intI - 6)
Here you would need to use the overloaded version of the Substring
functionality
Dim nick As String = str.Substring(0, intI)
TextBox1.AppendText(str)
i can't get nick name. i need first nick Picota , etc.
