Forums Scripts & Popups deleting line beginning with $nick using /write

I need some help about this because i cant put the $nick identifier in the scriptl like this

write -ds$nick file.txt

as it only seems to work with plain text
Anybody know another way of doing this?

Use $+ or $+():

write -ds $+ $nick
write $+(-ds, $nick)

Try using the $+() identifier.

So //write $+(-ds,$nick) file.txt.

thank you very much, works fine now

It's too easy, but you can just keep the space:

/write -ds $nick file.txt

or even:
/write -ds "3 word stuff" file.txt

on 1:dialog:s8wfc1:sclick:3: {
write -ds $+ $did(1).seltext $scriptdirwarfinder1.txt
}
