Forums Scripts & Popups $iif

I have...

theamp {
write -c D:\Private\Half-Life\cstrike\theamp.cfg say Now playing: $iif($ampplayingcs == $null,Ekkert,$ampplayingcs)
}

when i type //say $ampplayingcs I get $null but I don't get "Ekkert" from this $iif statement.

Please help.

what is the context of this script?

you need to post just a tiny bit more so we know what it is precisly you want to do.

that said, /help $iif

When I type //say $ampplayingcs I GET $null but I don't get "Ekkert" from the $iif statement, which means the $iif statement isn't returning TRUE ("Ekkert") which it should do!

Post the amplayingcs alias.

alias ampplayingcs { return $replace($remove($nopath($dll($shortfn($mircdirampstatus\swamp.dll), WinAmpGet, TRACKFILENAME)),.mp3),_,$chr(32)) }

Hehe, I have NO idea what that dll returns so I cannot help there.

Nimue,

it returns $null if Winamp isn't running, then it returns the name of the song if Winamp is running.

the $iif should return "Ekkert" because $ampplayingcs returns $null and I check whether $ampplayingcs returns $null and it does, but not in the $iif

are u sure it returns $null?
if it does then, $iif($ampplayingcs == $null,Ekkert,$ifmatch) must work

What does it write, when it's supposed to write ekkert?
Do you get any errors?

Ok, I tried...

//say $iif($ampplayingcs == $null,Null,Not null)

I got "Not null"...

But when I type //say $ampplayingcs I get "$#$"!# $null

u get "$#$"!# $null ??
what's did u mean

I meant, "I get $null"... this #%"!$#"! was just my failed anger management.

uh hehe,
did u get '$null' or did u get the VALUE of $null
if u get just '$null' as plain text use that:
$iif($ampplayingcs == $($null,0),Ekkert,$ampplayingcs)

ScatMan, you my friend, are a genius. Thanks a lot !

$iif($ampplayingcs,$ifmatch,Ekkert)
