Forums Scripts & Popups help with an alias to remove a nick from a file

Hi,

I have a remote file to auto ignore queries from people on my "badlist", and I wrote these two aliases to add and remove people. The problem is that the one to remove a name isn't working right. It's just putting a blank space at the beginning of the file and the next line is still the nick I tried to remove. (I've only had one nick in there just to test it so far) Any ideas why this isn't right? I just looked at the help for write -ds(line number) today, so I could be using it incorrectly. Here are the aliases.


Thanks for any help.

write -ds $+ %delbad C:\mirc\badlist.txt

You need a space for the variable to evaluate.

Thanks, that was my next guess.

Btw, you should use = when using /var. There are some cases where not using the = will cause an error.

var %varname = value

rather than

var %varname value
