I've always wanted to implement this in my IRC client, but been too lazy, it's nice to see it implemented in some form of chat client, although it's a bit lacking. Is the change visible for all participants?


You can edit sent messages on IRC?


No, but some clients such as linkinus will apply the regex on the client-side. Less capable clients just display it like any other message.


Nope, but this would be a purely client-only visual thing (so, editing the local chat buffer), primarily just to have done it.


The main theme for a Mac based IRC client has this feature built in. Though it only reflects for people that have that client/theme. If you are wondering the client, it is Linkinus.

I believe the change is visible in Skype for all participants.
