I'd like a command to rename a hashtable. There's only two ways to mimic renaming a hashtable via scripting:
1. Looping: With my current 15,000+ items this would cause my mIRC to stutter at the least if not out-right freeze for a few seconds
2. Use the filing system: This is sub-optimal as we've all seen instances of where writing to file system can cause file corruption(no fault of mIRC's).
I purpose adding the following:
/hrename table newname
Renames table to newname
if the newname table already exists, mIRC should raise an error
Use-case: I'm pulling information from multiple web sources and do not want to alter my current table unless all the web-requests succeed. To do this, I'm adding items to temporary hashtable and here in lays the problem.
