Much like how you can dispatch an object and pass along that object to another comcall already. I would really love to see this added Khaled or hear your thoughts on this. Thanks in advance. $maybe

Isn't this already provided by the "bstr* varname" syntax? - argv[0] on EFnet #mIRC - "Life is a pointer to an integer without a cast"

Code: alias download { clear .comopen xml msxml2.xmlhttp var %x $com(xml,open,1,bstr,get,bstr,http://www.mirc.com,bool,-1) $& $com(xml,send,1) $com(xml,responseText,3,bstr* txt,hello) echo -a argv[0]: $com(xml,txt) comopen ado adodb.stream echo -a Mode: $com(ado,Mode,4,int,3) echo -a Type: $com(ado,Type,4,int,2) echo -a Open: $com(ado,Open,3) echo -a WriteText: $com(ado,WriteText,3,bstr,txt) echo -a Save: $com(ado,SaveToFile,3,bstr,C:\test.txt,int,2) echo -a Close: $com(ado,Close,3) - $com(xml,txt) cc run C:\test.txt } alias cc { if ($com(xml)) comclose xml if ($com(txt)) comclose txt if ($com(ado)) comclose ado } I dont see much use for $com(xml,txt) personally. what you would expect here is to be able to use $com(xml,responseText,3,bstr txt) $com(ado,WriteText,3,bstr*,txt) much like the syntax for dispatch however since mIRC cannot make a distinction between txt the string and txt the object a new keyword might be appropiate $com(ado,WriteText,3,var txt) where var is most likely not a good name but you catch my drift. $maybe

["bstr* varname" could be useful with COM methods that accept a reference to a string. Presumably, the method could make that reference point to a newly created (by that method) string or to the same string, after modifying it. This new/modified string would then be accessible with $com(name,varname). I haven't seen any COM method that works like that, so this is all pure speculation.] /.timerQ 1 0 echo /.timerQ 1 0 $timer(Q).com
