Is there a way to have mIRC search for a certain word of phrase in a
line using $read? Basically what I want to do is does "!quote word" it
will respond with a line containing that word or phrase in the $2.
Something like **"on *:TEXT:!quote *:#: { msg $chan $read(file.txt,
*search for $2*) } "**.

Can't look into it, because I'm on mobile right now, but it should be
possible with something like this:
on *:text:!quote *:#chan:{ msg $chan $read(file.txt, npw, $2-) }
n gets mIRC to treat the text in the file as plain; p is to treat | as
plain and w is for wildcard
See mIRC's helpfile for $read and

Might have to type the whole phrase though. I'll look into more, but
this is a good start
