Forums Scripts & Popups Pipe inside variable problem

I'm currently passing song information from Winamp to mIRC using the Nullsoft mIRC control plugin. I then use regular expressions to format/remove bits of $1- as necessary.

However I have found that if the song information passed to mIRC contains a pipe symbol | inside it, then it tries to execute everything after the pipe symbol as a new command.

Example:


In the above example, it tries to execute the "M" after the pipe as a command.

Is there a way around this? I see no way to strip out the pipe before it is passed to mIRC in the Nullsoft plugin.

That would have to be changed in the dll. Report a bug and tell him to replace | with $eval(|,0) or $chr(124) (assuming he's using SendMessage() )

out of curiousity, could he use a $replace(string,$chr(124),-)

Not if the person is using SendMessage() to send commands to mIRC.

you can try:
/noop
(No operation)
but might not work in this contex

Outputting from IRC, you can use a if $chr(124) isin blah
evulate it to 0

None of this will work because it is mIRC itself executing the command, not a script. You cannot fix this problem by scripting.
