I like how /bwrite has the ability to write a character with any given ascii code.
/write can print them all except 0
/writeini can print them all except 0, 2, 3, 15, 22, 31
Any chance on fixing that?
If you've designed it this way on purpose, would you mind explaining? Thanks a lot.

Only /bwrite can write char 0, since it's a "binary" character. /write and /writeini are not binary safe. Khaled didn't design this- this was designed over 30 years ago in early UNIX systems. In fact, being able to write the 0 character is exactly why Khaled implemented /bwrite, /bread, and other binary safe functions
2,3,15,22 and 31 should be writeable by /writeini-- whether or not you can see them is another story, but there is no reason they can't be used. If you are on Vista you should be aware that some of those characters may no longer have a glyph (a visible representation of the character) associated with them anymore. Theoretically, none of them should, since they're all in the non-printable space of the ASCII map.

True. I wasn't even thinking about that. But as far /writeini, that should be able to write those other characters, right?

I was able to get writeini to write all of the characters you mentioned but 0. I had problems $readini'ing them. They could easily be being stripped somewhere along the way.. Can you provide a test case which shows the characters not writing to an ini file?

I just tested /writini and was able to use all characters up to 255, except 0 (which is a limitation of mIRC). To do this, I just made a while loop set and retrieve the text. When reading the text, be sure to use $asc($readini(inifile,section,data)) The reason to use $asc is that mIRC will (in most cases) not show some character due to most fonts not displaying them. Edit: Try this: var %i = 1
while (%i < 256) {
echo -a RESULT FOR %i: $asc($noqt($readini(test.ini,test,chr $+ %i))
inc %i
}

I had to alter that a little bit... The %i: needs the : to be separated from the %i, and there needs to be one extra ) symbol... var %i = 1
while (%i < 256) {
echo -a RESULT FOR %i $+ : $asc($noqt($readini(test.ini,test,chr $+ %i)))
inc %i

Most peculiar is: * Error allocating evaluation memory (line 16, notice.ini) edit: First off, you need to add the "n" switch to $readini so it doesnt attempt to evaluate the results-- this will remove the above errors and change the results
alias testwriteini {
var %i = 1
while (%i < 256) {
writeini test.ini test chr $+ %i $chr(%i)
inc %i
}
var %i = 1
while (%i < 256) {
echo -a RESULT FOR %i $+ : $asc($readini(test.ini,n,test,chr $+ %i))
inc %i
}
}
edit2: So it turns out all the characters it won't write are control codes. this might be an old feature of mIRC to ignore control codes for some reason-- probably existing before $strip did. I doubt it's a bug, because it seems intentional, though Khaled should probably remove this. this doesn't account for $chr(34), but that is the " character, which writes properly but won't read back in the test-- it's in the file though.

I agree with your findings about character 34.
I also agree with your conclusion that the observed behavior for characters 2,3,15,22,31 was probably done intentionally in previous versions, but for the next version, mIRC needs to be able to read and write these characters with $readini and /writeini
One other peculiar thing that I just noticed. When /writeini attempts to write characters 10 and 13, a ~ is outputted instead. Therefore, when $readini attempts to read this characters, it reads character #126

As a note, you can /write control characters, but cannot /writeini the control characters. You can, however, $readini the control characters correctly if they are in the file from either a /write or manually adding them to the file.
