Binary variables are different from normal variables, but they are not too difficult to use once you learn how they work. Unless you want to read in only part of the text into a variable and loop around that way (not a good idea, usually), then binary variables are the way to go.

Also, keep in mind that newer versions of mIRC have a much higher variable length available than older versions. So if you're using something like 6.2, then you should consider upgrading. Currently, you have around 4000 characters to work with in normal variables, which is usually plenty.
