Here's the current alias: Code: viestit { $iif($1,return,timermsga 1 2 msg $chan !first msg) { $iif($1,return,timermsgb 1 8 msg $chan !second msg) { $iif($1,return,timermsgc 1 14 msg $chan !third msg) } } } When I do /viestit it sends the three messages above based on the timers. What I want to do is have a date after the messages like this: Code: !first msg 27-4-2007 !second msg 27-4-2007 !third msg 27-4-2007 Basically, how could I get the date correct every day? What about getting the previous date? For example, let's say today is the 1st of June. When I do /viestit it would output: Code: !first msg 31-5-2007 !second msg 31-5-2007 !third msg 31-5-2007 Thanks in advance.

Example: //timer 3 1 echo -a $time The time won't change. However, if you do it like this: //timer 3 1 echo -a $!time Then, it will change. Invision Support #Invision on irc.irchighway.net
