Forums Scripts & Popups disk detection

Im trying to make a script that will detect all drives on the machine. If i was to use a while script to do this I would have to change the number of the var in the while script to a letter. Only way i can think of doing this is making a big long huge list. such as :

alias hd {
if (%hd = 1) set %hd C:
if (%hd = 2) set %hd D:
}

Then point his alias to the while script. however Drives up to M on my network and would like to code this so it would not take up so much room.

Any help?
Thanks

Assuming you've got mIRC 6.1 or later there's no need to do that. You can loop through $disk() directly with numbers and retrieve the relevant drive letter from $disk(number).path.

In addition, the method you were looking for is this.

[color:000099]var %i = $asc(A)
inc %i
echo -a $chr(%i) == B[/color]

However, $disk(%i) where %i = 1 to $disk(0) is a better solution as starbucks mentioned.
Just thought you should know the solution to that puzzle, too.
