Forums Scripts & Popups Setting the return of /userhost

I am just wondering if there is a way of setting the return of the /userhost command into a variable. I need the whole of the user's host.

You can use raw 311:*: set %blah $1-

Raw 311 will give you the full address as in

nick!uid@=vFonmh-01-748-56-758.somedatanet.org

thanx fer the quick reply .....now is there any way of gettin a nick bak from a userhost?
lol

Can you tell me exactly what your trying to do, I might be able to help better

well, im making a messenger type thing fer irc. I have it all set up to use the person's friend's nick to see if the persons online using $comchan. But when the person changes their nick to something else it shows them as offline. So i'd like to get my messenger to use the hostnames of the friends so i can get the nick from the host name and see if they are online that way.

Well here is what I have been using. this is for a whois so be sure to check the Raw # that its the same thing

raw 311:*: {
set %blah $remove($1,=*)
set %full address $1
}

This will set %blah to the nick and %fulladdy to the full address. Hope it helps

Well IAL (Internal Address List) already does that for you! Use the address stored there directly with $ial identifier!
/help $ial
Even better, you can /guser (type 2) the nick in a specified user level and then use remotes with this level.
/help Access Levels

That is actualy incorrect depending on what irc server your on
Example:
If I connect to a server with cloak masking
//echo ! $ial($Me)
! Static!Static@Fused-5C3F7783.mn.client2.attbi.com
But If I am on say efnet then it would return my userhost.
You want this
//echo ! $host
