Greetings all, I am not the best at scripting, but i've been directed to here with my request. Basically I was woundering if someone would make a code/dll to do the same as $replace, but for Binary Variables. I know that the is /breplace, but it is not really what i am looking for because I want it to do the same as $replace, where you replace 1 string for another, and it keeps going. And then returning the result as binary aswell.
I wish to have it very fast so it doesn't lag up mIRC, which is why i am requesting a code or DLL.
I'm not to sure myself how to go about doing this because I just don't think i have that much knowledge to work it out to work fast enough, and my own real programming knownledge is mIRC. Thank you in advance.

Hello, that thing you are requesting is something that some uses will find very attractive if built-in in mirc since it will be a lot faster than scripted.

For now, the best way to do this is to convert the binvar to text and replace it there, then convert it again to binvar.

yea i know it is a useful feature, but the reason why i wanted it is because converting, and doing replaces, you will eventually run into string to long error, and that is what i am trying to over come, that is why binary replace is something that i want done.

yep yep that is true, so to prevent that i usually do one of this 2 things:
- get groups of 900 bytes and replace them
- use bfind to get the section i need and replace it

at least until something is added to mirc to do this

for my purpose of this code, that would be kinda pointless because each time it goes to replace, it changes say 2 characters to like 30 characters [emoticon theme]
