I'm not too sure whether this is the right place to post, but it looked like the most accurate one to me.

I'm trying to figure out which command I'd be sending to make my IRC bot do the /me thing. Example:
CODE
* gabehabe humps sebastian.


To send a normal chat message I'd be doing this:
CODE
"PRIVMSG #dreamincode : Danny, leave me alone!"


I've read something about ACTION in the IRC Protocol manual (http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/rfc/rfc.html) - yet I can't find anything about it now.

Any help'd be greatly appreciated.

Finally figured it out, Sebastian.

"PRIVMSG #" channel_name + " :\u0001" + "ACTION " + msg + "\u0001"

Example, to say I'm awesome in the </dream.in.code> channel:
"PRIVMSG #dreamincode :\u0001ACTION is awesome\u0001"

Output will be:
* gabehabe is awesome

Hey!!! I tried to use this instruction to do the /me thing in visual basic but, didn't work. I get the literal text in the chat window. I mean:

Use this instruction: "PRIVMSG #channelname :\u0001ACTION is awesome\u0001"

And I get in the chat box: \u0001ACTION is awesome\u0001

I'm using visual basic, It could be because of the unicode sentence \u0001?? Maybe it's different in VB. Greetings!!

Finally I found the solution. The functional instruction in Visual Basic 6 is:

"PRIVMSG #channelname :" + Chr(1) + "ACTION " + Text1.Text + Chr(1)

Greetings!!

It's because you where escaping the " :\u0001ACTION".
