While loop / remove line - mIRC Discussion Forums

why doesn't this work?

Code:

alias Removefle { 
  var %fle = 1
  while (%fle &lt;= $line(@filelist,N)) {
    if (.avi isin $line(@filelist,%fle)) { dline @filelist %fle }
    inc %fle
  }
}

It kind of works, but when theres a load of files it doesn't remove them all so i have to run it again, and sometimes it'll remove files without the .avi extension in

It's not working because you're removing the line AND then incrementing the counter. This will miss out the item that replaces the one you've deleted.

You should either delete the line OR increment, or run the loop in reverse going from the end to the start.

oh I see thanks

Sorry but i need more help

Code:

alias RemoveM3u { 
  var %m3u = $line(@filelist,N)
  while (%m3u != 0) {
    if (.mp3 !isin $line(@filelist,%m3u)) || (.ogg !isin $line(@filelist,%m3u)) { dline @filelist %m3u | did -d player 8 %m3u }
    dec %m3u
  }
}

why doesn't it work?

This one could be simply

Code:

alias Removefle while $fline(@filelist,*.avi,1) { dline @filelist $ifmatch }
