Forums Bug Reports Aliases odd bug

Hi, I don't know if this has been already posted but there it is:
(I tried it on 6.1x versions)


This alias in your ALT+A will work! (It must be exactly as shown in code) Even the first word "HEY_MUM!" (you can use any word) is not a command, it just reads from the 2nd word. Also in Scripts Editor it shows that there is a bracket mis-match.
BUT...

rem { echo -a Hello World! }

...AND...

/rem { echo -a Hello World! }

...OR...

/rem {
echo -a Hello World!
}

...works fine.
so WTF?

What's the bug? I get "[16:44:25] HEY_MUM! is an unknown command".

what version are you using? :\

where's the bug?

aliasname {
command
}

when /aliasname is used, the command is run, in your case, it runs /HEY_MUM! , which is an unknown command, unless of course if you have another alias HEY_MUM! somewhere.

if you were trying to greet someone in the channel, it should be:

Hey! I know scripting!
Whatever.. on my pc it still stays as a BUG!

It means that if you use REM instead /REM and will write code in not 1 LINE you'll get error.

lol it's a bug alright .. but not with mIRC or your pc.

Yeah mIRC ignores the lines beginning with "Rem" - treats it as a ;comment

Whoa, batch file commenting? Wierd >:P

Batch, Basic, VBScript, prolly others..
