Forums Feature Suggestions New identifier's... $isdialog $ismenu $isgroup

All working in a simular way to $isalias... $isgoup could be scripted from $group, but I thought I'd add it anyways...

Each of those identifiers could include ways to make the query local to a specific script file (with wildcards), or global.

$ismenu(*.mrc,nicklist)

-genius_at_work

All of them could be scripted, just some simpler than others.

You can use $script(0) to get the number of loaded scripts, $script(file.mrc) to see if a script is loaded, fopen and $fread to read from the file, and $regex to find a match (I.E $regex(%line,/^menu .*(nicklist).* {/i) :tongue:)

Yeah and I can also script a web server with mIRC... Point is much easier to add them internally, since there already exists code to parse mirc script files.

What you asked for wouldn't even take a 30 seconds to code. Could you code a web browser in 30 seconds?

He said webserver, and no, but close enough. Try 5 minutes.

Signed.

add in $isloaded
$isloaded(file.name).a
$isloaded(filename).r
or $isload(filename) returns alias or remote depending on where it was found or $false if not loaded

yes you can script this (i have already) but would be nicer to not have to

$iscomchar ($true/$false) to handle { if (($left($1,1) isin / $readini($mircini,text,commandchar)) || ($left($$1,1) == !) || ($left($$1,1) == @) || ($ctrlenter == $true)) { return $true } }

$isdialog and $isgroup are redundant, as "if ($dialog(name))" and "if ($group(#name))" do the job fine. I'm not sure I get $ismenu though, what would it do?

$dialog(name) will not tell if you a dialog exists, it will only tell you if it's open. Considering he compared them to $isalias, I'm guessing he wants to see if the dialog exists code-wise.

I'm thinking $ismenu could tell if you if there's a menu named "x" under the "y" menu: $ismenu(do something,menubar)

If a dialog isn't open, it doesn't exist. If you're both talking about dialog tables, it's a different matter (and something the OP should have explained, along with what $ismenu is supposed to do).

That's what I mean..



$isdialog(t) - $true
$dialog(t) - $null
