Never mind, everything seems to be working as intended. I'm just going nuts.



Click to reveal.. (Old post)

You seem to be able to add any length of binary variable to a hash table item with "/hadd -b <hash table> <item> <binary variable>" command, and you can set the data from the hash table item to another binary variable with "$hget(<hash table>,<item>,<binary variable>)". In previous versions it would only set the first 4150 characters to the item.

Here's an example:
Code:
alias binaryhashtest {
  bread versions.txt 0 $file(versions.txt).size &input
  echo -at * Read $bvar(&input,0) characters to &input
  hfree -w test
  hmake test
  hadd -b test item &input
  echo -at * item appears to be $len($hget(test,item)) characters long
  echo -at * Got $hget(test,item,&output) characters from item and set it to &output
  hfree -w test
  editbox -a Echoing &output binary variable's content (Press CTRL+Break to stop)
  var %x = 1
  while ($bfind(&output,%x,$crlf).text) { echo -at * $bvar(&output,%x,$calc($v1 -%x)).text | var %x = $v1 + 4 }
  editbox -a
}


I find this "bug" to be absolutely fantastic change, but I assume it's not meant to work like this. At least I couldn't find anything about it from the change log.



EDIT:
Just to give you an example what the script prints out:
Quote:
21:51:30 * Read 621448 characters to &input
21:51:30 * item appears to be 4150 characters long
21:51:30 * Got 621448 characters from item and set it to &output
21:51:30 * 01/08/2016 - mIRC v7.46
21:51:30 * Changes:
21:51:30 * Updated to OpenSSL 1.0.2h library.
21:51:30 * Fixed /timer -h high resolution timer which was being limited to the
21:51:30 * same rate as the -m millisecond timer.
21:51:30 * Added $samepath(path1,path2) identifier that returns $true/$false
21:51:30 * if paths refer to the same file/dir. It resolves relative paths and
21:51:30 * converts long/short filenames.
21:51:30 * Added /copy -f switch to flush copy to disk immediately.
21:51:30 * Added /rename -f switch to flush rename to disk immediately and -o

and so on
