On Text $date mirc

Question

How can I use on text $date on mirc?

I am trying to do something like this.

on *:text:$(* %date *):#: { 
  var %date = $date(yy-mm-dd)
  if ($nick == user) { 
    do something 
  } 
}

You can encapsulate the text to listen to in $() to evaluate it before matching it to the incoming message:

on *:TEXT:$($date(yy-mm-dd)):#:{
  msg $chan That's today!
}
