Hello everybody smile

I did search the helpfiles and the forums but didn't find an answer. Hopefully I'm not no. 3474 who asked this question blush

Here they are:

1) Is there an equivalent to eg. delphi's "assigned" function?
Means: Is there a possibility to figure out whether some special alias exists or not.

Example: Imagine there exists an alias called "test"
if ( $assigned(test) != $null ) {
/test someparameters
}
else {
/echo -s no valid alias
}

-----------------------------------------------------------------

2) Is there a possibillity to give the processcontrol back to mIRC (or the system) while within a script? (equivalent to the delphi's Application.ProcessMessages)

Example: this will cause an infinite loop an therefore "block" any other process, including mirc.
while ($true) {
/echo -s hello
}

It would be nice to give mirc and the system some processtime within the loop. Example:
while ($true) {
/echo -s hello
/processmessages
}

Hopefully I could formulate my questions understandable. Thx in advance for any answer smile
