buzzen roomnames - mIRC Discussion Forums

for e.g.. on buzzen this room:

%#MIRAGE

on webchat it is

http://www.buzzen.com/chat/chatroom.php?rhx=4d4952414745

my question is how do i get from MIRAGE to 4d4952414745
because i want a small alias from converting the %#roomname into a browser link

Code:

alias tohex { return $regsubex($1,/(.)/g,$base($asc(\t),10,16)) }

$tohex(MIRAGE) = 4d4952414745

thanks alot mate!!

but will that only work on 6.2?
is there a way so that it can work for all mircS?

It won't work on all versions but it should work back as far as 6.03 (that's the version I started using) and maybe before.

Code:

alias tohex { 
  var %hex, %i = 1
  while ($mid($1,%i,1) != $null) {
    %hex = %hex $+ $base($asc($ifmatch),10,16)
    inc %i
  }
  return %hex
}

thanks mate, awesome.

will it also work if the roomname is like

%#Hello\bThere

I take it the \b is a space?

Code:

alias tohex { 
  var %hex, %i = 1, %1 = $replace($1,\b,$chr(32))
  if (% $+ #* iswm %1) { %1 = $mid(%1,2) }
  while ($mid(%1,%i,1) != $null) {
    %hex = %hex $+ $base($asc($ifmatch),10,16)
    inc %i
  }
  return $eval(%#,0) $+ %hex
}
