Forums Developers Raw "if ($numeric == 369) { " list limit?

That doesnt proof it has to go trough EACH file EACH time.
In fact we already know it doesnt go trough the files at all but trough the cached "mirrors". But even then it doesnt have to mean it reads the whole cache each time it could also map events/aliases in cache to its internal events routine thats what i was saying we dont know what mIRC does there internally.

What Kardafol is saying is that it's unlikely that mIRC would use the "stop at the first matching event per file" method if it implemented some kind of internal event lookup mechanism because there'd be no benefit to that kind of shortcut since events would be file/location transparent. It doesn't prove it, but it logically suggests that to be the case.

That would be parsing that can happen at any time.

Anyhow, keep in mind that Aliases are listed in the View menu. So, at least with those, mIRC knows what they are and where they are as soon as they are loaded. I wouldn't be surprised if the same is true for all other events because it wouldn't make sense otherwise.

I don't agree. All this tells me is that WHEN mIRC goes through the file to log all events, it only allows one event per file. Of course I am not Khaled, (would be nice if he wouldn't mind saying a word here), but I would think that running through every line of my script on every single event would be a bit much!!

Exactly. Good example.

Thats like the opposite from what i gathered from:

which is atleast 50% untrue since mIRC doesn't use files to begin with :P All im saying is we dont know if it uses the "stop at the first matching event in the cache " or that it parses the files while caching and mapping internal pointers to its cache.
