This would be very useful in the fact that you wouldn't have to set a variable to something as simple as the channel name. I hope I make sense in this suggestion, lol. -Zelda4ever /tokenize 32 $gettok($1-,1-,32)

(no, I am not asking you to script this example.) and then I want to look up the nick's info using nickserv, which could be done via .msg nickserv $nick . After receiving notices from nickserv, I want to scan each notice for the previously evaluated $nick. And, if mIRC was busy processing remotes while the same event occured, $nick would be then set to the event that just called for it. Sort of like a line, I suppose. /tokenize 32 $gettok($1-,1-,32)

Are you saying this... on :text:!blah:#:{ msg nickserv $nick } on :notice:*:?:{ echo A NOTICE JUST CAME FROM $nick ABOUT [ [ $nick ] ] } I do know this is not what [ [ $nick ] ] does people! and i say in channel !blah and you get A NOTICE JUST CAME FROM nickserv ABOUT DaveC Is that it? If so I doubt it can be done, how is mirc ment to keep track of what caused what in a event driven enviroment.

OP Zelda4ever32 Babel fish Z Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 73 East Bay, California	Ok, let me try this again. Hopefully for the last time. Here is an example: on *:text:!reeval:#chan:/.msg $chan $ $+ nick was last set to $reeval($nick,1) and the $ $+ chan that was evaluated two times ago is $reeval($chan,2) $+ . Probably something like that. In my last post I also mixed in what I thought should also be featured, but it turns out I could have just done what I wanted if I used a hidden window. Sorry for the confusion. /tokenize 32 $gettok($1-,1-,32)

Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.

DaveC Hoopy frood D Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 4,230	yeah i agree, my mirc likely does about 3 to 5 events a second., cant see how the idea of having a back log is gonna help anyone. Although i can see it getting used some times i guess Something like usage $eventid returns a number that can be used in palce of N below usage $eventid(N).prop returns $prop ie $eventid(4).nick returns the value of $nick when $eventid returned 4 usage $eventid(N).release returns $null and releases N for reuse (more concerned with freeing up the memory really) so you could have Code: ; ;John might say in #club !see Im as big as a tree ; on :text:!see :#:{ set $+(%,blah.,$nick) $eventid [color:blue](hmmmm damn you still have to uniquely remember the return value dont you lol, oh well anyway the idea was)[/color] who $nick } ; ;352 raw reply lets say is ->> DaveC * ~blob somedomain.com irc.server.net John H 4 Johnnyboy ; raw 352:*:{ if ($($+(%,blah.,$6),2) { var %i = $v1 describe $eventid(%i).chan just saw $9 say $eventid(%i).2- unset $+(%,blah.,$6) } } ; ;so I do a /describe #club just saw Johnnyboy say Im as big as a tree ; ok a pointless script but just an example. Still as Tidy_Trax said, its not something that couldnt be scripted, without to much hassel really, just some hashtable, and store all the current identifiers when its called.
