Forums Bug Reports Unexpected /var behavior.

*edit: mIRC version 6.2

alias /vartest {
var %somevar- [ $+ [ 1 ] ] = 1
echo var: %somevar- [ $+ [ 1 ] ]
}

Output:

var: = 1

Furthermore:

alias /vartest {
var %anothervar = 1
var %somevar- [ $+ [ 1 ] ] = $rand(1,%anothervar)
echo var: %somevar- [ $+ [ 1 ] ]
}

Output:

* Invalid format: $rand (line 3, vartest.mrc)

I know about defining multiple variables with /var (ie: /var %i = 1, %x = 2), but I can't believe this is expected behavior. I only get the error when defining a var with evaluation brackets, however.

After further examination of the problem, I noted that when using evaluation brackets (/var %somevar [ $+ [ 1 ] ]), /var no longer requires "=" to assign data to the var, instead it assigns the = as part of the var's data:

alias /vartest {
var %somevar- [ $+ [ 1 ] ] = $chr(36) $+ rand(1,%anothervar) = hi
echo var: %somevar- [ $+ [ 1 ] ] / var2: %anothervar)
}

Output:
var: = $rand(1 / var2: hi

Bug, intended, what?
