Noticed a bug with the /bwrite feature of mIRC. When trying to /bwrite non-evaluated plain-text or a variable starting with the character "%", it will always evaluate it and treat it as a variable.
It looks like a side-effect of /bwrite's ability to treat %* tokens (in the evaluated string) as variables. I'm not sure why /bwrite does that, it might be a legacy thing, but I don't think it's of much use now: bwrite file S N %var will first evaluate %var and then write the first N bytes of the result in 'file' anyway. I'd rather see this functionality removed altogether.
Why, hello there Chessnut This does seem a bit weird. I think as well that the whole feature of that should disappear. It doesn't seem to have much use. Fixing the bug would be just as fine too.
Talk to you later on IRC Chess ;P
