Code: ; the output of the /who #channel ; Make the "do_stuff" here save the output somewhere raw 352:: { haltdef \| do_stuff } ; End of /WHO list. ; Make the "do_stuff" here display the saved stuff into a window. raw 315:: { haltdef \| do_stuff }

You can use /haltdef and /aline to a hidden @window, but currently you need to /savebuf @window <file>, then /loadbuf -s <file>. To the OP: I think /savebuf isn't the appropriate command for this (you don't want to "save" any lines): /filter already has a switch (-s) to use the status window as the "infile" - and could indeed benefit from a new switch to make it the "outfile". Or allow the use of all @<window IDs> for in/outfile - this would be even more versatile and would not require any changes to the syntax.

Note that this is already possible, -ws will filter from a window to the status window. #mircscripting @ irc.swiftirc.net == the best mIRC help channel

The outfile can be a filename or a custom window name." and the description of the -s switch. Actually, I even tried "/filter -ws @w1" but forgot to put a matchtext wildcard ("/filter -ww @w1 @w2" doesn't require one) Supahsonic should use the filter command (/filter -ws @hidden *); my proposal to allow @<wid> as in/outfile still stands. Thanks for pointing out.
