Forums Scripts & Popups quick question about if ($nick == JohnDoe)

Hello,

I have this line in my script:




...but sometimes, the nick of the bot JohnDoe changes to JohnDoe1 or JohnDoe2 or JohnDoe3 then back again to JohnDoe and so on and so forth.

I tried doing:




...and obviously it doesn't work. Any help?


Thanks...

You're looking for the operator "iswm" (stands for "is wildmatch").
Please type: /help if then else, in mIRC. Browse through the list, under "The Operators."



It may be better to use this persons hostmask or address instead of using his nick.

Such as:

A quick and more secure way to do this would be to use

Actually, if you're going to do that, you'd want to use:


or


If the person has a static IP/Host, using a static match is fine. If the persons address changes often (such as the person being on 56k), you would want to use my suggestion in my first post.

$fulladdress returns nick!ident@hostmask.com
$wildsite returns *!*@hostmask.com
$site returns hostmask.com

You could also do...

if ($left($nick,7) === JohnDoe)

Thanks for all the replies!

I think I'm gonna use this one:




...instead of using the hostname because sometimes, the bot uses its real hostname and sometimes, it uses its vhost.




EDIT: It's working PERFECTLY! Thanks again...
