new connection id problem - mIRC Discussion Forums

Hi,

Can somebody please help me with this. I would like to do a simple task. Connect to another irc server (with new status window opened) and to execute any further commands on that connection id.

I've tried this:

Code:

server -m
scid $scid($!active.cid) echo blah

I thought the logic was: create a new connection/status window, execute the 'echo' command on that new connection id and that's it, but, obviously it doesn't work

Where did I go wrong?

Thanx in advance.

Code:

server -m <address>
scon $scon(0)
<commands you want>

Type /help /scon to see why this works.

you're a genius

that's because scon(0) returns the number of connections, and since they start from 1 it is the last connection created

THANK YOU
