Forums Bug Reports $hget() and local variables

try setting a local variable using $hget(). It returns $hget() invalid format. If you switch this variable to non-local (remove var), it sets the variable correctly.

Sample code:

%c.cnt = %c.cnt $+ $chr(58) $+ $hget(channels,%i.cnt).data

works

var %c.cnt = %c.cnt $+ $chr(58) $+ $hget(channels,%i.cnt).data returns $hget() invalid format.

//var %tmp = value | %tmp = %tmp $+ $hget(table,item) | echo -a --> %tmp

doesn't do anything for me. no echo, no error.

That would be because since v6.0 you cannot use commands beginning with a %variable.
mIRC v6.0 (versions.txt)
149.It is no longer possible to enter editbox commands that begin
with an $identifier or %variable.

Nope, it works here.

Once again this issue has surfaced.

set %c $gettok($hget(allowed,allow),%i,59)

when I use var instead of set, it doesn't function properly, returning a $gettok() problem.

Nevermind, was a syntax issue. Apparently you have to use var %c = $gettok($hget(allowed,allow),%i,59).......grrrr..
