Command prefix variable? #225580 05/09/10 11:28 AM

You can configure the command prefix under "other" in settings. It must be saved as some variable right? I can define my own and then use %commandprefix but I'd rather use the one mIRC also uses. My alias is like this: Code: alias np { me now playing: $dde(mPlug,format,"%s") if ($1 != $null) { if ($left($1, 1) == VARIABLE) { $1- } else { say $1- } } } Can anyone help me with this?

So you should check something like: Code: if $left($1, 1) != / && $left($1, 1) != $readini($mircini, text, commandchar) { Learning something new every day.

I'm a little clueless as to what difference it makes, since it seems like mIRC treats a bunch of lines pasted at once the same as when each line is entered individually.

It doesn't work in multi-line edit boxes. It's just like if you're using Ctrl-Enter or using a command... You don't usually want the output changed, so you'd want to ignore the script at that point. Depending on what you're doing in the script, maybe it won't hurt to have the script run even on Ctrl-Enter or when pasted. If that's the case, then you don't have to check for those.

I just don't see the point in $inpaste, but that could just be me. Learning something new every day.
