Here's an equivalent of the Perl E2 chatterbox XML ticker parser, a script utilized to spy the E2 chatterbox for mIRC 5.82. To install it, paste the following code in the remote section of the mIRC Editor (alt+r).

Command line usage: /e2chatbox [REFRESH_TIME]

REFRESH_TIME is a value in seconds, the default value is 15.

Version history:
1.1: fixed < and > in the copied source, it should work fine now :)
