Forums mIRC Help malfunction of if and a variable

I would like to know why this if don't work normally :



The variable %bot.nick is setted just before.
I make an echo before this line and the variable is setted.
I make an echo after this line and the variable is unsetted.

I don't understand why the variable is unsetted with the if.
Any idea ?

Why do you have another parenthesis? Just use:

if (!%variable) statement

The second parenthesis I can only assume is messing it up. mIRc does not have the ability to negate a whole expression outisde of its proper encasing.

you can also use an $iif statement

$iif(%var,what to do if true,what to do if false)

For siongle commands that will work, but note that it is NOT what $iif is intended for. If you wish to execute a set of commands - the if statement itself is what you want.

Okay KingTomato !

I had set antoher parenthesis in the doubt !
But you seem you don't answer at my principal question :
why mIRC unset my variable (knowing that is a /var ) when I typed this line ???

actually I use it for multiple commands as well, however I make aliases and/or custom identifiers and reference.

I also make my custom identifiers as generic as possible so that I can call them from any event that may apply.

ie:
$writecfg

alias writecfg writeini $1-

now I can call $writecfg from any event that writes to an ini file from any statement if or $iif
