ok yep i see that is thier now i was interpreting it wrong in the help file but now i have another problem it doesnt seem to work if i want to write to line #66 and i am trying to set a
%var to equal that value is that possible here is what i have
Code:
 

alias w {
  set %j $lines(nicks.txt)
  set %jj $calc(%j - 1)
  set %newnick $me
  /write -il $+ %jj nicks.txt %newnick 
}


i also tryed just using /write-il%jj without the $+
but it didnt work either

thx in advance
