Forums Scripts & Popups Force mIRC to treat text as a string?

Is there a way to force mIRC to treat txt as a string to avoid problems? For example, is there a way to get $asc(,) to return 44, and not a "too many parameters" error?

To avoid this and other similar problems, just pass the string indirectly (ie not hardcode it into the identifier). There a few ways to do that:

1) Put the string in a variable:
//var %a = , | echo -a $asc(%a)

2) Make an alias:
/alias ascii echo -a $asc($$1)
then type /ascii ,

3) In this example with $asc() you can also use $? or $input():
//echo -a $asc($$input(Enter character:,e))

Ah, well I was hoping to avoid having to do any of those, but I guess I'm stuck. mIRC should have a $text(<plaintext>) identifier that treats anything inside of it as plain text, no matter what it is. Oh well, thanks for the advice ;-)

That's kind of hard to do when you need a ')' to end the function :P.

Well if you're planning on hardcoding $asc(,) into your script why not just use 44 instead?
