Forums Bug Reports $version?

I wanted to use $version for my script, if ($version =< 6.21) { do stuff } .. and when i check what $version return it returnds 6.2 . shouldent that be 6.21 ?

You did update, right?

Yes, i downloaded a new file today to see if it still returns the same value, and yes it does.. echoing my version: 6.2 .. used: //echo echoing my version: $version in status window.

;---------- Edited

I downloaded the file from:

mIRC 6.21 in the UK "first link", and that one gave the answer 6.2 . and you asked if i updated, so i tryed to download the file from the link mIRC 6.21 in Australia, that one gave me the right version.

//echo -a $readini($mircini, about, version)

See what that returns.

I downloaded mIRC from both UK links and installed each in a separate empty folder, both return 6.21 for $version for me here.

Thanx for looking in to it, it didnt for me, maybe cos i just copyed mirc.exe, then i overwrited the existing one? but as i wrote befor, solved now

mirc.ini contains...

[about]
version=6.2

By copying over the new mirc.exe you kept an old unaltered mirc.ini with the old version number in it. Updating and selecting to 'backup' and 'keep settings' during the installation should update mirc.ini where neccersary. (afaik)

All i had to do was to delete mirc.exe, then replace it.. mirc.ini is still the same, and now the version show ok, mirc.ini keeps track of files that should be loaded, and stuff like that, the version is in mirc.exe it self, so dosent mather if u keep ur old mirc.ini .. in my "old" mirc.ini

[about]
version=6.21

so mirc.exe write that line it self.. "i did only replace the exe file, nothing more"

Yeah i figured mirc had the version details in the exe, most software does. Just thought maybe it was reading from the ini for some reason, as it seemed to be the only solution that fitted.
