Hi,

I just assembled some scripts, to have my system talking to me via mbrola. Works fine so far. Now I want kopete to execute this script with some parameters, to tell me the username, which has just signed on or wrote me a message.

The only parameter available I found was %s, but in case, the user signed on, it tells me the complete notification text, and in case of a incomming message, it even reads me the complete message. What I would prefer is "#username# signed on" oder "#username# wrote a message".
For my call (echo "%s bla etc" | say), are there any other parameters available, maybe some, which only contains the Username invocating the notification? Is there any documentation about?

Thx,

Regular expression is a really good idea: I have renamed all users to "Nick (Real Name)", Kopete %s outputs "Nick (Real Name) is now online.", so it would be fine, to return only what is written in brakets. Since Kopete can invoke shellscripts only globally on all contacts, but not on specific ones, I could even use this, to restrict voice output on a few users.

I only use regexpressions coding java, if you could just give me an example how I use them on sed, I guess I can adjust the details by myself.

Thx,
Pirf
