So what I got now is ```auto CHAT_MSG = re.compile(r"^:\w+!\w+@\w+\.tmi\.twitch\.tv PRIVMSG #\w+ :") ``` This worked with non tags, but now with the tags how can I grab the messages? I also want to grab if he is a mod or not, broadcaster etc. How can I do that? I have practical no experience with python, but I have coded C# and PHP before. // Jove ---
