I was wondering if anyone knew how to make an acronym turn into a full word: ex: LoL = Laughing Out Loud. When I type LoL, it changes into Laughing Out Loud. Thanks, I'll really appreciate it.

I also do agree with another poster, in the replacer being a tad complex. Might I suggest soemthing like this... acronym.mrc (Right click and do "Save Target..." or "Save File..." depending on browser) Just read the file in notepad first before loading it. You add the acronyms you wish to have before you load it, then load it as usual. EDIT: Fixed link-- Sorry. Last edited by KingTomato; 29/02/04 12:43 AM. -KingTomato

Sorry about that, try these two aliases:

Code:

alias acronym.add {
  if ($hget(acronym)) {
    if ($2) /hadd acronym $1-
    else {
      /echo -s /acronym.add: Insufficient Parameters
      /echo -s /acronym.add &lt;acronym&gt; &lt;meaning&gt;
      /echo -s Example:
      /echo -s /acronym.remove brb Be Right Back
    }
  }
  else /echo -s /acronym.add: Acronym table not loaded
}

alias acronym.remove {
  if ($hget(acronym)) {
    if ($hget(acronym, $1)) /hdel acronym $1
    else if ($1) /echo -s /acronym.remove: Acronym $+(',$1,') does not exist
    else { 
      /echo -s /acronym.remove: Insufficient Parameters
      /echo -s /acronym.remove &lt;Acronym&gt;
      /echo -s Example:
      /echo -s /acronym.remove brb
    }
  }
  else /echo -s /acronym.remove: Acronym table not loaded
}

(Copy the above code to wordpad (Start>>Run>>"Wordpad") first, then reselect and copy to mIRC)

I didn't test them out, but they should work fine. If they don't, then I'll debug em.

Directions
/acronym.add <Acronym> <Meaning>
Example: /acronym.add brb Be Right Back

/acronym.remove <Acronym>
Example: /acronym.remove brb

I put /acronym.add bbl Be Back Later and it was "be Back Later" so I got to figure out how to make the first letter capitalized. I'm sorry to be bothering you so much. Oh, How do I take off the echo? Just remove them? for Future references. LoL. Thanks A Lot.
