Thanks a lot guys

I've not had chance to try these out as I've kinda stepped away from mIRC and computers in general now due to personal reasons, and I'd not received e-mails to say I'd had replies therefore completely forgot about the thread.
I will point out, that for what I wanted to do, the alias file (an .ini file loaded in the Aliases tab of Scripts Editor) would always be something along the lines of acromancer-styles.ini and $aliasname would indeed be used in a loop to grab each and every alias name (which would be listed in a 'Styles' combo box for the end user to choose the desired output style for their acro's).
I hope this will come in handy for somebody else at a later date.
