Thanks

Code: alias myscripts { load -rs scripts/script1.mrc load -rs scripts/script2.mrc load -rs scripts/script3.mrc } Then you can just type /myscripts to run that code block. If you want it all to be on one line, look up pipes, I dunno how accurate the wiki is about the speed though: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/MIRC_Scripting/Basics/Basics#Single_Line_Comments Quote: WARNING: Another method of doing multi-command blocks of code in mIRC Scripting is called piping, where a pipe character (\|) is stuck in between the two commands, such as /echo hi! \| /echo goodbye! This makes hard to read code, takes mIRC longer to process, and in general is bad coding practice. Use it sparingly.

In this way more people can learn from any answer given. Help others! It makes the world a better place, Makes you feel good, and makes you Healthy!

However, In my opinion, the best setup would be to have one alias do both, for example; Code: alias myscripts { if ($istok(load unload,$1,32)) { $1 -rs scripts/script1.mrc $1 -rs scripts/script2.mrc $1 -rs scripts/script3.mrc } } then its just a matter of: Code: /myscripts load ;--OR /myscripts unload Note: that you must pass either load or unload as a command parameter.

(look for /timer9) Lost in your digital reality. #mIRC / #Helpdesk on DALnet.
