$hget(table,item) doesn't return a label, it returns the value that matches item stored in table.

You have a hash tabled called christest.
In that hash table, you have an item called autojoin1.
The value stored in that item is #lobby,#Praise-Him,#Never-Silent.

You can think of hash tables as .ini files with a single [section], or as an ini .file with the hash table name as the [section]

[christest]
autojoin1=#lobby,#Praise-Him,#Never-Silent
awaynick=Chris-Away

Using this concept as a model, here are some ways to use $hget and the values they will return:
  • /hmake christest
    /hadd christest autojoin1 #lobby,#Praise-Him,#Never-Silent
    /hadd christest awaynick Chris-Away
  • $hget(christest,0) will return 2 because there are two items in that hash table
  • $hget(christest,1).item will return autojoin1
  • $hget(christest,1) will return #lobby,#Praise-Him,#Never-Silent
  • $hget(christest,autojoin1) will return #lobby,#Praise-Him,#Never-Silent
  • $hget(christest,2).item will return awaynick
  • $hget(christest,2) will return Chris-Away
  • $hget(christest,awaynick) will return Chris-Away

    //NICK $hget(christest,awaynick)
    //JOIN $hget(christest,autojoin1)
I hope this clears up the question. cool
