Hello,
 I wanna suggest an identifier to return how much aliases are in a "test.mrc" .
 
 e.g: $isalias(test.mrc).total or $alias(test.mrc).total
 
 NOTE: I don't know if there is an way to do this but an alias will be helpfull

I'm at work now (on break), so I can't test this, but it seems to me that a simple (pardon the pun) alias that calls the /filter command and returns the results from $filtered would work just fine.

RusselB is right about the use of filter: alias find {
  var %file = $$1
  window -h @-
  filter -fw %file @- *alias* 
  echo -a $iif($calc($filtered -2) > 1,$v1 matches,$v1 match) found in %file
  close -@-
}Usage: If you have the remote files included in another folder, you may need to include the path to it. The code will check the file you search for in mirc directory.

I've changed the invisible window name to "-" and the alias trigger to find and aliases to match... because with aliases the filter may count it as an alias. |  |  |

I've edited it again because of a couple of overlooked matters. |  |  |

alias messup_count {
  echo -a hello blahaliasblah
  alias -r moo
}Your wildcard match is way too general. A regular expression like /^\s*\/*[!\.]*alias\s+(-l|[^-])/  should do (some quick testing has given correct results).

 ;dalias
 ;alias me return me
 alias you return you
Your alias will match 5 times (3, if you subtract) Using regex is a better choice.Edit: Using starbucks_mafia regex: 
alias find {
  var %file = $scriptdir $+ $$1
  window -h @-
  filter -gfw %file @- /^\s*\/*[!\.]*alias\s+(-l|[^-])/
  echo -sc info * There are $iif($filtered > 1,$v1 matches,$v1 match) found in %file
  close -@-
}

Thanks to starbucks_mafia and Crinul. I didn't think of using regex in the first place. I agree with you two completely.
 Edit - lol Crinul beat me to it.

Crinul, I think the $filtered still needs to be subtracted by one because of the alias find may get filtered as a count. 
 I mean, if you check the aliases in the same file where the alias is installed...

No, because that's not the real number of aliases. (I think alias find should be included). |  |  |

I think alias find should be included.Yes, it's included. The regex method works like a charm. Thanks you two, once again, for the improvement upon the example provided. |  |  |

Good work the code is working correctly! but it will be good to add in mirc by default! |  |  |

Instead of using a window, you could use the -k switch with /noop Also, what about ini files? I haven't extensively tested it but here's my version of it: alias Aliases {
  if (!$isfile($1-)) { return 0 }
  var %m = $iif(*.ini iswm $1-,/^n\d+=\s*\/*alias\b/i,/^\s*\/*alias\b/i)
  filter -fkg $qt($1-) noop %m
  return $filtered
} |  |  |

What about the .mrc extension? An alias can be made into a remote file. |  |  |

If the specified file is an Ini mine uses the follow regex:/^n\d+=\s*\/*alias\b/i
 
 It it doesn't end with .Ini it uses:
 /^\s*\/*alias\b/i

Did you edit your post, Froggie? It didn't look like that the last time I saw it. :P At any rate, nice work on the regex. |  |  |

Nope, I didn't edit it. If I did, I would have also fixed all the grammar/spelling mistakes as well(lol). But just for the sake of doing it, here's an even shorter version: alias Aliases {
  if (!$isfile($1-)) { return 0 }
  filter -fkg $qt($1-) noop /^ $+ $iif(*.ini iswm $1-,n\d+=) $+ \s*alias(?: |$)/i               
  return $filtered
}Ok, now that I'm done editing things here, let me make a note. All the snippets presented here have a flaw, though not MAJOR it's still a flaw; they ALL  count aliases commented out with /**/ For the sake of speed and simplicity, even though I realized the bug above, I did it this way. If you'd like a version that DOESN'T count those then hit me back and I might get around to it.

alias messup_count {
  echo -a hello blahaliasblah
  alias -r moo
}Using your alias: 1) * No such identifier: $noop (use other alias for noop $1-??) 2) Result is 2 filter -fkg <filename> !noop /^ $+ $iif(*.ini iswm $1-,n\d+=) $+ \s*\/*[!\.]*alias\s+(-l|[^-])/i!noop prevents mIRC from displaying the * No such identifier message (is it like ~ or a bug?) they ALL count aliases commented out with /**/Right you are. |  |  |
