I used to do some scripting in mIRC a while back, quit for a long while, and have recently started to script in mIRC again. I am looking at other people's scripts to get ideas on how to do things, and have always wondered one thing. I have seen a lot of scripts, and some do
command while others do
.command. I have never asked before and never thought to ask, but what is the difference? Examples below:
somealias {
var %somevar sometext
echo %somevar
}
somealias {
.var %somevar sometext
.echo %somevar
}
