I currently use the /play -b command to paste data from my clipboard to multiple mIRC channels which is great. But I get whispers from folks looking for all the older information to be sent back to them (ie they ether restarted or cleared and now have lost the history).

I was thinking that if I pasted my data to my own channel that I could somehow echo all the contents of my history of that channel to the person asking for it.. I can't find a way to have the play command read what I have in a channel...

So I thought, maybe I could have the clipboard appended to a file each time I use my macro with the /play -b.. I keep getting told that mIRC can't access the file.

So I tried just using .play filename.txt, figuring that I could just manually append the text to the file each time. But I can't get it to play the text file either.


My question is, can I have the play command write to a text file the contents of the clipboard like it writes to the channels? And what is the proper syntax for using the /play filename.txt?

I would like to be able to make it into an alias so that when Bob asks me for all the temp reports for the day, I can hit F12 and have it spew the contents of the temp file at Bob in his whisper channel.
