a thing or 2 - mIRC Discussion Forums

ok i get a strange error idk why the hell its giving this to me but here is my code for it

Code:

  .echo ,------------------------------------------------------------------------.
  .echo | Script has been started %started since %firstrun                       |
  .echo | $read(txt/quotes.txt)                                                  |
  .echo | Your last known connection was: %lastconnection                        |
  .echo | Script was loaded in: %loadedtime                                      |
  .echo `------------------------------------------------------------------------'

and then i get this error on startup
-
* /mirc: not connected to server (line 4, script.mrc)
-

another thing how could i find the time it takes mirc to start up and load all the scripts? and put it into a var

| is the command seperator. Use $chr(124) instead.

k

a new problem when the script starts i see

,------------------------------------------------------------------------.
| Script has been started 4 since |
| |
| Your last known connection was: |
| Script was loaded in: |
`------------------------------------------------------------------------'

instead of it being lined up at the end is there any way i can fix this?

Replace the spaces with $chr(160)s.

Either use $chr(160) in your script, type them in manually (looks better, but harder to tell where you have used them) or use $str($chr(160),20) (where 20 is the number of $chr(160)s you want). The last is probably the best option because you will want to vary the number depending on the length of what you have read and your variables.

This may not work on some fonts.

ehhh..... english plz.... -_-

That was english, but I'll make it clearer...

Either:
//echo -a A A
//echo -a A $chr(160) $chr(160) $chr(160) $chr(160) $chr(160) A
or
//echo -a A $str($chr(160),9) A

Edit:
The first one doesn't work since the forum decided to convert them from nbs to normal spaces.

Edit 2:
//var %temp Hello | echo -a A: %temp $+ $str($chr(160),$calc(10 - $len(%temp))) B: Bye

Change "Hello" to something else (less than 10 characters long) and spaces will be added/removed depending on the length of what you typed to keep B: Bye in the same place.
