Take a look at this (taken from the "Sockets" page in the mIRC help file):
-------------------------------
$sockbr
$sockbr is set to the number of bytes read by a /sockread command. It is used to test whether any information was in fact read from the buffer (see below for more info).
-------------------------------
Note: A single /sockread may not be enough to read the entire buffer. You should keep reading until $sockbr (bytes read) is set to zero.
-------------------------------
Now I could be wrong, but wouldn't $sockbr be equal to 0 BEFORE mIRC reads anything from that socket, and then increase AFTER it reads data from the socket?
For example, if you had....
while ( $sockbr != 0 ) {
sockread -f %text
echo -a %text
}
The sockread would never occur because $sockbr would equal 0 before it reads anything.
Is this a typo or a mistake, or just poorly written?
