Hello,

I wanna suggest a way to get the name of the calling alias.

e.g:

now the mirc working with this:

Code:

alias here_i_have_a_big_alias_that_i_cannot_remeber_it_when_scripting {
  var %a = here_i_have_a_big_alias_that_i_cannot_remeber.....
  if (!$1) { echo -a %a $+ : error 1 | halt }
  if (!$2) { echo -a %a $+ : error 2 | halt }
  if (!$3) { echo -a %a $+ : error 3 | halt }
}

i wonder if mirc can add this alias to help me more with the code without any vars or anything else

Code:

alias here_i_have_a_big_alias_that_i_cannot_remeber_it_when_scripting {
  if (!$1) { echo -a $calias $+ : error 1 | halt }
  if (!$2) { echo -a $calias $+ : error 2 | halt }
  if (!$3) { echo -a $calias $+ : error 3 | halt }
}

- Thanks!

For now, if your aliases are on the remotes tab, you can mostly use $read with $script and $scriptline and read up until you find the first word being alias. Not very efficient, but that will give you the alias name as long as you aren't using "alias" as the first word anywhere other than when declaring the aliases. I can see how this can be useful for custom error messages (or a custom error message alias). Invision Support #Invision on irc.irchighway.net
