aliases same as identifer($)? #104560 05/12/04 05:08 PM

toenie T	When I was chatting, and testing some $'s, I found a bug. Example: When you have this line in your aliases: Code: /think /say I'm thinking And you say in a chatroom: Quote: //echo -a $think You will get an error ("* /echo: insufficient parameters") BUT it will activate the alias /think too. Quote: Quote: <toenie> I'm thinking * /echo: insufficient parameters Greetings, toenie Last edited by toenie; 05/12/04 05:09 PM.

toenie T	I know, but it isn't only an error, it says "I'm Thinking" too. Try: Add this in your aliases: /sometest /say aaaa, this is a test And type in a chatroom: //echo -a $sometest

jinkx J	you're obviously new to scripting an alias called by $ will execute all the commands in an alias the $ prefix is used incase you want to use evaluate something in a different alias and return something hence why the first reply used $isid and the /return prefix the BEST help file i've ever seen is the one written for mIRC if you want to script i HIGHLY recommend you read it and play with it it was the best 3 hours i spent. it dosnt take very long to read it in your case i suggest you start with /help aliases it explains the $ prefix, also how exactly aliases work
