Command filtering

Question

Currently writing an IRC bot for fun and I have some trouble setting up the bot to listen to my commands. ( Works for !quit but not for !join or !leave )

void onPrivMsg(IRCMessage message, IRCClient* client)
{
    // received text
    std::string text = message.parameters.at(message.parameters.size() - 1);

    if (text[0] == '!')
    {
    if (text == "!Join #channel" || text == "!join #channel")
        client->SendIRC("JOIN #channel");
    if (text == "!Leave #channel" || text == "!leave #channel")
        client->SendIRC("PART #channel");
    if (text == "!Quit" || text == "!quit")
        client->SendIRC("QUIT");
    } else{
        client->SendIRC("PRIVMSG #channel :Wrong command.");
    }
}

I'm calling it like so:

client.HookIRCCommand("PRIVMSG", &onPrivMsg);

How would I get the channel name (#ChannelISpecify) from the text message line?

Example: If I'd type "!join #funnyposts" in IRC it would join the channel #funnyposts. Appriciate any kind of help.

Figured it out. Now filters for different commands and acts accordingly.

if (text[0] == '!')
{
    std::string commandApi = text.substr(0, text.find(" "));
    if (commandApi == "!Join" || commandApi == "!join"){
        if (commandApi[0] = '!'){
            commandApi[0] = '/';
        }
        std::string channel2 = text.substr(text.find("#"));
        client->SendIRC("PRIVMSG " + channel2 + " :Joining channel");
        client->SendIRC("JOIN " + channel2);
    }
