while loop - mIRC Discussion Forums

I'm trying to make an alias for /join.
I want to type /j #channel1 #channel2 channel3 etc
and it will join all the channels I specify.

Code:

  
j {
var %channels = $0
while (%channels &gt;= 0) {
join %channels
dec %channels
}
}

Any ideas on how to make it work?

Either of the following will work and which one you use depends on your personal choice.

This will make it join the first channel, first, and the last, last.

alias j {
var %i = 1
while ($numtok($1-,32) >= %i) {
join $gettok($1-,%i,32)
inc %i
}
}

This will make it join the last channel, first, and the first channel, last.

alias j {
var %i = $numtok($1-,32)
while (%i) {
join $gettok($1-,%i,32)
dec %i
}
}

Hope this helps.

/join #channel1,#channel2,#channel3

no need for a while loop...

but since you want an alias
j { var %i = 1 | while ($gettok($1-,%i,32)) { join $v1 | inc %i } }

alias j join $*

One more thing...I want it to automaticlly put # in front of the channel names...

join $gettok($1-,%i,32)

becomes,

join $+(#,$gettok($1-,%i,32))

Try this (put it in the Remotes section):

Code:

on *:start:unset %maxtargets.*
raw 005:* MAXTARGETS=*:set %maxtargets. $+ $cid $int($gettok($matchtok($1-,MAXTARGETS=*,1,32),2,61))
alias j {
  var %i = 1, %maxt = $iif($eval($+(%,maxtargets.,$cid),2),$v1,1), %j, %chans
  while %i &lt;= $0 {
    %j = 1
    %chans = $null
    while (%j &lt;= %maxt) &amp;&amp; (%i &lt;= $0) {
      %chans = $addtok(%chans, $eval($+(#$$,%i),2), 44)
      inc %i
      inc %j
    }
    join %chans
  }
}

It's untested but I think it should work.

$matchtok doesn't support wildcards so just leave off the * or use $wildtok, same thing

Ahh yes, in that case it should use $wildtok, just in case there's a token like MADMAXTARGETS=MelGibson that could throw off $matchtok.
