Forums Feature Suggestions parameter (switch) checking

Wasn't sure whether to post this in bug reports or feature suggestions.
Example:
/clipboard -1
Will not work because mIRC thinks -1 is a switch, this is annoying. :tongue:
Add checking to make sure it is a switch before trying to use it as one.

The current method of switch checking means that your code is future-proof as far as switches go. What if mIRC allowed /clipboard -1 and then in 6 months a new version comes out which has a -1 switch - suddenly your script doesn't work and you haven't got a clue why.

He should add something to get around it then, eg: /clipboard --1

edit: or allow $eval() or -!1 to ignore the fact that it's a switch.

There already is, and you almost guessed it: /clipboard - -1

ah, thanks
