How to send [] through editor?
 
Had a funny conversation last night, and wanted to plan it.
my channels look like:
[obscene]: Einar sample txt
The problem is that if I send it through the editor, it comes out as:
obscene: Einar sample txt

I turned parsing off, and it still removes the [] brackets.
I tried changing all the [obscene] to ~[obscene~] and it still didn't work.

with parsing off, it goes through fine, but it has to be sent 1 by one through the command line. Is there an easier way?

Hah, you can just paste it all into the command line and make it work :P

Here's a workaround I came up with.
Its a lot faster than pasting the lines one by one.
make a button or a macro (I made a macro)
for the command enter this;
#exec %expand(%clip(),-1)
you can experiment with the second parameter to %expand to see if another value suits you better.
Anyways to use this you can just select and copy whatever you want to send,then activate the button/macro.
I my case (since I used CRTRL-S as the macro)
I just type CTRL-A->CTRL-C switch from editor to session window then CTRL-S to copy all the text in the editor
and send.

p.s. the macro doesnt appear to work if the editor window still has focus
so you'll have to go back to the session window before sending
