Forums Bug Reports error in $mircdir

kode aliases:
/titlo .play -cstTITLEBAR $mircdirfiles\titlebar.txt 100
this return an error if directory of mirc is: c:\NeRvIeN n\
$mircdir return only c:\mirc
error: * /play: unable to open 'C:\joao\NeRvIeN' (line 288, aliases.ini)


but $mircdir in a echo command return: c:\NeRvIeN n\

i think that this is an error
:tongue:

Encase your play filename in quotes. Mircdir works i believe, but the alias doesnt see the rest of the filename. Atleast thats what Im guessing.

Actually you could just use:

what i'm trying to say is that
if mirc path is: C:\mirc m\mirc.exe
and you have one file in c:\mirc m\files\a.txt
and play this txt using $mircdirfiles\a.txt
$mirdir returns olny c:\mirc\ and in totali return: c:\mirc\files\a.txt
and an error is gereted
because the full path is c:\mirc m\files\a.txt

just an fyi, if its native to the mirc directory, there is no need to give a "home" directory. I.E. if you have C:\mirc\myfile.txt, in mire youu may refer to it as "myfile.txt"

The problem you describe applies to ALL filepaths in scripts - spaces screw it up unless you encase in double quotes as suggested. The space apparantly denotes a end-of-string.
