Forums Feature Suggestions $1 token extension

"I disagree, i doubt $999 exists i doubt it very much. Proof i ask for!"

if you would take the time to read and understand what has been written, you would have known that i've already provided proof.

//alias 999 return Test | echo -a $999

i don't care about deltok or puttok or anything for that matter, i am just saying why the hell not add on to the current functionality of the $1 and so on identifiers? of course, i will not ask for a shorter deltok, because that is already available via using normal textual aliases. my idea, however, utilizes currently existing identifiers, and i feel that's what makes it a feature worthy of suggesting.

edit: for arguments sake, you could even do

//alias 123456 return hi | echo -a $123456

and it doesn't work. even if it did, that truly doesn't have anything to do with my feature suggestion. the end of my feature suggestion would be to end where mirc itself ends with its tokens. i don't see anything wrong with that.

edit2: just for kicks, i just tried the following and it doesn't even work.

//alias 12345678901234567890-12345678901234567890 return hi | echo -a $12345678901234567890-12345678901234567890

for proof that this example would work in the event that it was a real idenitifier, add a - to the beginning like so:

//alias -12345678901234567890-12345678901234567890 return hi | echo -a $-12345678901234567890-12345678901234567890

apparently, you don't know much about programming outside of mirc scripting. khaled does not have a new alias for every single token combination available, he just has a simple chunk of code in the aliases function which identifies if an alias is a number and if it has - in it or at the end, and if so it executes the token identifier routine. it would be quite trivial for him to add support for what i've said, but even then, i don't have a clue if it would be something he'd be interested in doing. and depending on his code, it might not be as simple as it first appears to be.
