Syntax

$removeLinks[Text]

Parameters

Parameter	Description
Text	Optional. The text to clean. With it, the function returns that text without its links and filters nothing else.

More than one argument is refused (“Invalid argument count”).

Return Value

• Type: String
• With Text: the text without its links.
• Without argument ($removeLinks): always an empty string; it only sets the flag.

Behavior

• With an argument: only the given text is cleaned; the rest of the message is not filtered.
• Without argument: the flag applies to the whole script output, whether $removeLinks is written before or after the text.
• A link is detected case-insensitively when it starts with http:// or https://. The match runs up to the next space, line break, < or >, so punctuation stuck to the link goes with it: (https://a.b/c). becomes (.
• Links without http:// or https:// (www.x.com, discord.gg/abc, ftp://...) are not removed.
• It is not applied to messages sent by $sendMessage[] or $channelSendMessage[], nor to embed fields ($title, $description…): their links are kept.
• The flag (bare form) is reset at the start of each script execution.

Examples

Clean a given text

$removeLinks[Visit https://spam.com now]

The message sent is Visit now (the two spaces around the removed link remain).

Echo only the cleaned user text

Your text: $removeLinks[$message]

Only $message is cleaned; Your text: is untouched.

Anti-spam cleanup of the whole message (flag)

$removeLinks
Visit https://spam.com now

The message sent is Visit now.

Notes

• $ignoreLinks is accepted but does nothing in this engine; it is not a way to block links.
• To remove another piece of text, use $removeContains[].
