Forums Scripts & Popups pls help me with script

here is my script

alias miniscript2 {
sockclose bw.*
unset %bw.*
%bw.grayedout = 1
%bw.linecount = 1
%bw.opid = 1
%bw.ppid = 2
%bw.transmit = ON
%bw.outgoing = $1
if ($1 == $null) { %bw.outgoing = $rand(8000,65535) }
%bw.targetport = $2
if ($2 == $null) { %bw.targetport = 4747 }
if (%bw.outgoing > 65535) { %bw.outgoing = 65535 }
if (%bw.outgoing < 1) { %bw.outgoing = 1 }
dialog -md backwash backwash backwash.ico
socklisten bw.incoming %bw.targetport
}

i would like to change it so it always runs on port $4747 with the $
hopw can i do this

If im reading it right...
take these two lines out

%bw.targetport = $2
if ($2 == $null) { %bw.targetport = 4747 }

and put this in where they were....

%bw.targetport = $chr(36) $+ 4747

yes - no ?

this is what i get
/socklisten: invalid parameters (line 20, botscript.mrc)

Why do you want to user port $4747 (does the dollarsign has a special meaning?). I think mirc is now trying to use $4747 as the 4747 parameter passed to alias miniscript2 {}. Does $<portnumber> mean anything special in another (script)language which might be your motivation for using that in here? Even with the syntax $chr(36) $+ 4747 i still think it's using it as a parameter. If mirc even supports portnumbers to be used in combination with a dollarsign then u might try this: $eval($4747, 0) . Don't think it will make any difference though.

Even if it meant something in another language, if it means nothing to mirc its surly not to work...Atleast that would be my guess

yes it is importnat i need to connect on port $4747

pls help it myst be port $4747

i cant understand where this port number ur trying to use comes from ..... i dont even think a pc has a port defined with a $ prefixing it ....... infact in a router u cant even forward anything for a port with a $ infront of it ...... so what ur tryin to do is just nonsensical to me and im sure many others ..... basically ur trying to force somethign to work on a port that as far as i know doesnt exist or will never exist ..... but if im wrong id really like an explanation as to where ur getting this port information from
