Ex: Let's say I have 3 timers: test1 test2 test3 And I use an alias like this alias test { if ($timer(test*)) { commands } } See what I'm trying to suggest? I imagine it could be useful for many purposes.

Code: alias wildtimer { var %i = 1 while ($timer(%i)) { if ($1 iswm $timer(%i)) return $true inc %i } return $false } So your TEST alias would be Code: alias test if ($wildtimer(test[color:red]*[/color])) { commands } But it would be nice for it to be added to $timer()
