Forums Scripts & Popups echo text

if i was to echo text , how can i make sure that $eval codes are ignored before i continue the echo'd text
specifically
$eval($findfile(c:\,*.*,0,scon -a amsg $1-))
but would rather ignore any $eval so no one can make my mirc run anything bad.

The easiest way to do that, is to remove the $eval from the entry.
eg:

This is by no means foolproof.

The $eval() wouldn't be treated as code unless you were evaluating more than once whatever variable/identifier contained it. The only way this can typically happen without you explicitly writing the code to do so is if you're using timers or scon/scid.

$eval well be evaluated to null

This might work %text = $+($chr(2),$chr(2),$replacex(%text,$chr(32),$+($chr(32),$chr(2),$chr(2))))

Puts a double bold after each space (and at the start of the line), which should cause anything that might have been reevaluated (assuming a reevaluation occurs) to be seen as plain text

(might end up with a string to long error on big lines with lots of spaces)
