Not sure if thats what you mean, but it serves a similar purpose. The $& identifier This identifier allows you to break up a single line into multiple lines which are combined when the script is performed, so you can edit long commands more easily: longline { echo This is an example of a long $& line that has been split into multiple lines $& to make it easier to edit }

It's not quite what you have there, but it's something similar.. Usage: //echo $echok(text,more text, etc, etc etc..).N N = the number of the color or prefix for every line you want to use.. N is optional. 4 examples: Code: //echo $echok(text,more text, etc, etc etc..) //echo $echok(text,more text, etc, etc etc..).12 //echo $echok(text,more text, etc, etc etc..).12- //echo $echok(text,more text, etc, etc etc..).$rand(4,9) The code (stick it in a remote file) Code: alias echok { var %.i 1 \| var %echok $ $+ %.i \| while ( [ [ %echok ] ] != $null) { echo [ [ $prop ] ] [ [ %echok ] ] \| inc %.i \| set %echok $ $+ %.i } } Well, I hope this'll help you. - Wherever you go there you are.[color:lightgreen]
