With mirc scripting, I just set a %var to the text, and call $identifier(%blah,%blah2,etc). Acquire. Analyze. Adapt.

You could do the same with a dll technically:

Code:

strcpy(data,"set %param text,with,commas");
SendMessage([color:red]hwnd[/color],WM_USER + 200,0,0);
strcpy(data,"$identifier(param1,param2,param3,%param)");
char* result = SendMessage([color:red]hwnd[/color],WM_USER + 201,0,0);
strcpy(data,"unset %param");
SendMessage([color:red]hwnd[/color],WM_USER + 200,0,0);

This is assuming you've already set up your filemap.

If a script written/used by the user makes use of a variable of the same name, the results could be nasty. ...and mIRC offers no way to safely generate variable names. Acquire. Analyze. Adapt.

Since the variable is unloaded as soon as you call the identifier, just give the variable a messy name, eg: Code: strcpy(data,"set %__dllname__functionname_1032842 x,y,z"); It's unlikely a name like that will be in use, you could also make a mIRC identifier to return a free variable name: Code: alias freevar { var %r = $rand(9999,9999999999) while ($var($eval(%r,2),1)) { %r = $rand(9999,9999999999) } return %r } New username: hixxy
