I am trying to /play a file to users. The file uses identifiers and variables to give some information out.
on *:text:!help:?: {
play -ct $+ $2 $nick help.txt 1000
}
The help.txt file is sectioned into groups, so that someone can get '!help commands' or something like that. Again, the help.txt files has occurances like: 'Today is $date and the time is $time.' When someone types !help commands, mIRC spits out errors like: "-> *Welcome* to my help file No such nick/channel" So I suspect it's trying to send the message to whatever the first word of each line is. Any way to correct this?

you could use /debug -pt @debug to see what it sending to the server.

As I suspected, it's trying to send it to the first letter of the line.
I tried adding /msg $nick to every line of the doc, but that failed as well.

So you're looking for a switch which evaluates the text before playing it. I didn't find such a switch. one way around would be preceding each line by msg $pnick. $pnick is the nick which is the file is being played to. Your file will be looking like: msg $pnick Welcome to the Black Mesa
msg $pnick The time is: $time
msg $pnick Have a very safe day! And the script: on *:text:!help*:?:{ play -ct $+ $2 $nick file.txt }

Oh, one more thing... When I do /play a text file, it seems to sometimes show the spaces, sometimes not. i.e. What it should look like: (and what is typed in my text editor) What it comes out to look like: and I've tried using three differant text editors, and I've also tried with just spaces, just tabs, and tabs & spaces (one tab, one space, one tab, etc).

This is an another sensitive point in mIRC... it strips spaces from anything due to the way it works.
To get around it you'll have to replace any space character - $chr(32) - by a fake-space, transparent char: $chr(160). To create that char hold the Alt key and press 0160 in the numeric keyboard. then copy & paste the result to anywhere you need it.

alias space { return $str($chr(32) $chr(32),$$1) }
Usage: $space(number)

this one won't help either, unless '32' is replaced by '160'.

I am sure there is a way (or used to be) of getting mIRC to evaluate the text before sending it. Something like /play -e file.txt 1000
I remember having this problem years ago (maybe v5.x?)
Aubs.

Aubs, -e stands for echo... notfor avaluate. believe me, I have read the whole help file on playing, but looks like there's no evaluation switch. If such a script existed but was taken out, I hope it'll be added in the next version.
Laz, what I'm trying is: //echo -a $space(10) Hello.
Does it create 10 spaces before the word 'Hello'?

Well qwerty, I don't know why you would say I lie even though you have absolutly no proof. This in fact does work for me, and if its not suppose to I don't know why it is.
I did just try it on my older machine (Win98) but it was running 6.01. It didn't work, but on my XP with mIRC 6.03 it works fine.
Also, I try not to post false info, and even if I did make an error, I'd atleast admit it.
