As with many messages sent to you through raw's, there's often a numeric for the beginning of the whois, and another numeric to signal the end of that person's whois.

FYI: you often get a different reply for the 'idle' line using "whois nick nick" vs "whois nick", depending on whether you both share the same server.

Try putting this line in a script to see the raw events where you would need to harvest your data. You would need to have checks like

if ($numeric == 1234) { do stuff }



I know irc protocol , it's 30 years and more old , please don't explaine me
obvious things.

mIRC is full of strange things , for example what is the $numeric identifier ?
Why 1234 and not another number ?
irc is a simple protocol usable in raw mode with program as telnet or netcat.

I'm using mIRC for historical reasons, but if I don't found a solution
for a simple thing as put a value in a variable or array I change
client , there are a lot of another client with support for more
standardizated and powerfull scripting language as perl , python or ruby.


Code:
raw *:*:{ echo 4 -s debug raw: nick $nick raw $numeric : (1) $1 (2) $2 (3) $3 (4) $4 (5) $5 (6-) $6- }
