I am trying to get multiple mirc's to communicate with each other using $dde evaluate with a custom alias with a variable as an argument.
Here is an example of what I am trying to do:
Code:
alias test.query {
var %1 testing
echo -a Reply: $dde(mirc2,evaluate,$!test.reply(%1))
}

alias test.reply return $1-

I have a second instance of mirc running with the ddename set as mirc2.

No matter what I do, I always just get "Reply:"
How do I make the output as "Reply: testing"

Space out the %1 variable.
The $!test.reply construct makes %1 non evaluated

Correction, it worked. Changed the code to the following:

Code:
alias test.query {
var %1 testing
echo -a Reply: $dde(mirc2,evaluate,$!test.reply( %1 ))
}

alias test.reply return $1-


thank you
