It'd be quite useful to me to have an add-on that alerts me when something specific is said in a chat room, same way you're warned if your nick is mentioned, just for a string you'd like.

How would one go about doing this? Is there an interface for IRC programming, what NetBeans is to Java for example.

I'm not sure how I would even approach IRC programming, so forgive me if my assumptions are just dead wrong.

    This is possible with pretty much every client that supports scripting (mIRC, irssi, WeeChat, X-Chat etc..). First decide on which client you want to use, then ask specifically for that client. – timss May 02 '13 at 15:07
  • This is a configuration question (most irc clients use a config for this), too broad (every answer for a IRC Client is correct). – Johannes Kuhn May 24 '13 at 12:38

As the guy at the comment said, first choose IRC Client that support "scripting" or has a built in function to alert. Then look for the solution.

Code in case of mIRC

on *:text:*someword*:#channel: {
  echo -ag Alert
  beep 3
}

The code should go to the "Remote" window (alt+r)
