Forums Scripts & Popups I readl don't get it.

I have the following alias:

alias netret {
if ($1 != $null) return $1
elseif ($2 != $null) return $2
else return Unknown-Network
}

This alias gets the network name as $1 and the server as $2

I have a configuration window which I can set a delay so after than period it will put me in Away mode.

I'm connected to several networks, so what I did it saving the delay inside a INI, and when I start the timer, it reads the delay and set a timer to each network. I'm trying to use scon

The problem is that I use the following command:
scon -at1 .timerAway. $+ retnet($network,$server) 1 $readini(" $+ $scriptdir\config.ini",config,away) imaway

The problem is that the away timer is only set on the network that I started the command on (Using a dialog).

So if I'm connected to DalNet, then I will only get timerAway.DalNet

I know that I can use "!" to make it evalute the indentifiers on the right connection ID, but it doesn't work.

I tried using $!retnet($network,$server), and even $retnet($!network,$!server), but if I put the "!", then the timer name is like away.$network, or like away.$retnet($network,$server).

I use the retnet, cause some networks doesn't sends it Network name, so I get NULL (so ther is a chance that few networks will have the same timers).


How do I solve this??

Thanks

BTW, I wanted to write "I realy don't get it" as the title....

well $2 will never be called, considering if $2 isn't $null then neither is $1

Lets say I'm conencted to a server and it doesn't sends the network name, then $1 will be NULL and $2 will be the server.

It is not that the server becomes $1 because I used $function(parameter1,parameter2,...), and it doesn't matter if one of the parameters is NULL.

Shortened the alias a bit:


Highlighted the necessary !'s:
scon -at1 timerAway. $[color:red]!+ $!netret($network,$server) 1 $readini(" $+ $scriptdir\config.ini",config,away) imaway[/color]

Thanks for helping me with the "!", I'll try it

Thanks, it works.
