Forums Scripts & Popups Calc help

Well long time no post here heh, been here since 2002 yikes anyways... back on subject... I have this alias :


Now whats it doing is $1 = a name like Bob or what not it reads C:\Levels\Bob and within bob it has:
-
10
10
-
So a total of two lines right what i want it to do is read all the lines in what ever i tell it to read like bob or mike or josh etc something to do with the filename is what $1 is but its set as a %... now all i want it to do is add 10 and 10 together and make %TMP_LVL equal to 20 ... and lets say it had 10 on each line for 3 lines i want it to add all three lines and make %TMP_LVL equal to 30 and so on... But what im getting so far is that its setting %TMP_LVL to 0 which i do know why but i can resolve any help would be nice )

From the help file:

• If the first line in the file is a number , it must represent the total number of lines in the file.
  ...
  If the t switch is specified then mIRC will treat the first line in the file as plain text, even if it is a number.

Try to use $read(file,t,%i) in your script, or take this version instead:

• alias calclvl {
  var %file = Levels\ $+ $$1
  bread %file 0 $file(%file).size &var
  set %TMP_LVL $calc($replace($bvar(&var,1-).text,$crlf,+))
  }

(Note: due to mIRC limitations, this script will break ("line too long") if your file size is greater than ~950 bytes. Don't use it if you expect such sizes)
