Is there a function/identifier that specifically reverse all letters, including spaces, for every sentence? If so, please tell me what it is as I can't seem to find it in the mirc help file.
Thanks, EQ

alias reverse {
var %c = $len($1)
while ( %c ) {
if ( $asc($mid($1,%c,1)) != 32 ) {
var %r = %r $+ $mid($1,%c,1)
}
else {
dec %c
var %r = %r $mid($1,%c,1)
}
dec %c
}
return %r
} Stick that in your remotes and type //echo -a $reverse(text), it should give you "txet".

I would explain it, but after 3 attempts at trying I've pretty much given up, but in brief: 1. It sets %c to the length of $1- 2. It checks to see if %c has a value that isn't 0, $null, or $false, if it does have one of those values, it goes to #5. 3. It takes the character in postion %c of $1- and adds it to the end of %r (which at the start of the script is not set, btw). 4. It decreases %c and goes back to #2. 5. It returns the value of %r The reason for the 2 IFs inside the while loop is because of a limitation with mIRC to do with spaces, which I'm too lazy/stupid to explain  .

Just had to put my 2 cents in.
alias reverse {
var %1- = $replace($$1-, $chr(32), $chr(127)) | ; Input string (spaces excepted)
var %string | ; Output string
var %i = 1 | ; Loop index to go character by character through the string
while $mid(%1-, %i, 1) { | ; While there are more letters in the input string
%string = $ifmatch $+ %string | ; Add the current letter to the beginning of the string
inc %i | ; Go to the next letter
}
return $replace(%string, $chr(127), $chr(32)) | ; Replace the spaces in the output string and pass it back
} //echo $color(info) -abflirt * $reverse(This is a long string to try this out on) * no tuo siht yrt ot gnirts gnol a si sihT

Feel completely free to shoot any holes you can ever find in any script or script segment you ever see from me. I really do welcome that kind of criticism; I learn from it or perhaps clarify it the way I should have done before I posted it. I learn from code posted here regularly...my own code, included.
There is nothing wrong with yours, per se. I just would have done it in a slightly different manner, which is what I posted. I did not mean to upstage you in any way. If I did, I apologize.

I thought you might be :tongue: but I meant it about shooting holes in my scripting. That goes for anyone who can find those holes, as well.
