Forums Scripts & Popups Script Error Message

Just started seeing this yesterday. What does it mean and how do I fix it?

String too long: $replace (line 101, script2.mrc)

In the file script2.mrc the line 101 is to long, open script editor (ALT + R) in mirc, go to the file script2.mrc and locate the line 101, paste it here and maybe we can help with it.

It means that the $replace you have is returning a string too long, mIRC has line length limit of 4150 characters.
To fix it, you can use multiple $replace for example

Since posting this, I found the problem. The PM Blocker has fields for nick exceptions and nicks to be ignored. Somehow, those fields have been filled with numbers. I use the "/ignore" function or I right click and ignore from the drop down menu, so I have no idea how these fields were filled .....

Thank you for your time. I greatly appreciate it!

It's coming up while I'm in a chat room .... It's a PM blocker script that came with this version of mIRC:

if ($nick isin %qblock.nicks) { set %qblock.nicks $replace(%qblock.nicks,$nick,$newnick) }

there's no way the responses I'm getting are 4150 characters .... at the very most, the responses are 2 lines, maybe 150 characters.

I have found the problem since posting my question. Thank you for responding as quickly as you did. It is greatly appreciated.

The problem is with your $replace.
The purpose of this code is to replace the old nick with the new one inside that variable, when someone change their nick.
The problem is that $replace will replace any occurence of what you give to it: let's say the variable's value is "n ni nic nick nick1", now let's say the nickname "n" change is nick to "hello", you're going to do "$replace(n ni nic nick nick1,n,hello)", and here I'm sure you start understanding the problem, $replace will replace all occurences of "n", resulting in "hello helloi helloi helloic helloick helloick1", this is how your variable can be that big.

To fix the problem, you should post how you are setting the variable first (but I assumed each nick is seperated by spaces), if that is true, use $reptok instead of $replace.
