chan copy - mIRC Discussion Forums

I am trying to copy one channel on a server to another. They use a single | and it is acting like a command. How can I copy/remove it from the lines?

ex: Country update: 11th Field Artillery (#918) [] | M | Acres: 694 (+42) | NW: 77735 (+5706)

Thanks

Could you paste the code you are using ? Without seeing it, we can't really help you

If you meant by removing the

Have you tried using

Code:

$remove($1-,|)

Code:

on *:text:*country update*:#allianceupdates:{
  $remove($1-,|)
  //scid 1 msg #updates $1-
}

that doesn't work either.

Thanks

got it with:

Code:

on *:text:*country update*:#allianceupdates:{
  //scid 1 msg #updates $replace($1-,|,||) $1-
}

Thanks

Of course that didn't work because you don't place an identifier without an executing command to trigger it, unless you call it from an alias.

This is what you should have done:

Code:

scid 1 msg #updates $remove($1-,|)

If you choose to use $replace, you don't need an extra $1- at the end.

just

Code:

scid 1 msg #updates $replace($1-,|,||)

will be enough, or you can replace || with $chr(32) aka a space.

Finally though you don't need // at all.

what you observed is a symptom of a much greater potential problem. you have essentially given control of your client to anyone who knows what they're doing and is able to trigger that event. i'm not sure what your circumstances are - whether #allianceupdates is moderated or not - but with such a simple solution you owe it to yourself to err on the side of caution:

Code:

on *:text:*country update*:#allianceupdates:{
  scid 1 | msg #updates $1-
}

notice the extra '|' between '1' and 'msg'. problem solved.
