Code: if ([color:red][/color]np iswm #) do something is equivalent to: if (np isin #) do something Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.

Sometimes you need to compare 2 items like you want to see if the first word in a text matches '!test'. If you use 'isin' & !test is also in the middle of the text, then that condition would be true as well. Sample: if (!test* iswm !test this) <- would be true if (!test isin use !test <trigger>...) <- would be true also See the difference?

Regardless, there are a few advantages of having both: []How would you check if the literal characters , ? or & are inside a string with iswm? Similarly, how would you check if a dynamic string (like $1) is part of another string, without worrying that any , ? and & inside $1 are going to be interpreted as wildcards (e.g. if ($1 isin %blah) )? []if (blah isin $1) is a little shorter and faster than if (blah iswm $1) /.timerQ 1 0 echo /.timerQ 1 0 $timer(Q).com

"isin" works fine and dandy for figuring out if something is in a string, so as hixxy noted, this type of "check" is probably one of the fastest. You can only check for a single word or group of characters with this, however. "iswm" gives you the advantage of matching beyond just one or two characters: Let's say: $1- == The dog takes flight on tuesday Code: if (* dog * flight * tuesday iswm $1-) { ; This would be true! ; There must be atleast one word (or more) before "dog" ; There must be one or more words between dog and flight. ; There must be one or more words between flight and tuesday. ; tuesday must be the last word in the string. } This allows you to see if "dog" "flight" and "tuesday" are in a sentence, no matter how many words are between them, so long as "tuesday" is the last word in the string, and so long as there is atleast one word before "dog"

And since we're getting really picky: "_dog__flight__tuesday_" I want you to open up your mIRC scripts editor, go to variables, and enter: Code: %test this____is___a__test_ Replace the _'s with spaces. Then press OK. Now in mIRC's editbox: //echo -ag $iif(* test iswm %test,yes,no) First thing you'll notice, it's not true. Trailing spaces obviously do matter, though generally, you won't have trailing spaces. But the point still stands. It's generally a good idea to make sure what you say is correct if you're going to correct someone on something extremely miniscule. Cause I, and probably many others, will return the favor. When I said "one or more words" it's because the wild card is between two spaces. Doing that comparison on something like: $1-, means you're going to have the excess spaces stripped out. Meaning there has to be one or more words or one or more characters in order for it to trigger, as you won't have two consecutive spaces using $1- on 99% of the ocassions.
