Hi my dear mIRC friends,

I've got a quick question that has been bugging me for a while,
sorry if this was asked before, kinda hard to search for.

For retrieving the channel name for an event,
I used to use # for a long time but then started using $chan instead, probably just for consistency in the scripts.

Am I right when I assume that both # and $chan are always evaluated the same way and return the channel name,
or is there any difference between them?

What do you use yourself and why?


Thanks,
