Forums Bug Reports $line() Bug

I think I may have found a bug with the $line() identifier in mIRC v6.16.

The following command works in almost every window in mIRC:

//echo -a $line($active,0)


That would return the number of lines in the active window.

If you try using that command in a DCC Chat window, you get the following error:

* /echo: insufficient parameters


I would say this is a bug...

I remeber there is something else odd about dcc chat windows as well, but it wasnt this.
It does seem to be a bug or at least not the reply you would expect its returning $null for not just number of lines but $null for any line number as well.

6.16 & 6.14 win2ks

Windows XP Pro SP2 mIRC 6.16 works fine here
Tried in my status window one of my custom windows and a normal channel window plus a query outputs 0 when theres no lines and the correct amount of lines in the others

he specificed a dcc chat window was where the problem occurs

I agree that you could call it a bug. It's a side-effect of the fact that a dcc chat window can be referred to in two ways: either as "=nick" or as "Chat nick". $active returns the former, $line() accepts the latter. /window accepts both.

DaveC, you're probably talking about /window not accepting =nick enclosed in quotes (fixed in v6.15)
