somthing like isowner and isadmin - mIRC Discussion Forums

is there anyway i can make mIRC return a value if the nick is +q or +a if i do $owner($nick,$chan) for example, or $admin(bob,IRC)
and if bob is +a on the channel IRC it would return $true

Code:

alias owner { return $iif($nick($$2,$1,.),$true,$false) }
alias admin { return $iif($nick($$2,$1,!),$true,$false) }

hm.. it seems to keep returning $false the owner is a ~ symbol and a admin/protect is a &
edit: i got it to work
