Modifying number in text file - mIRC Discussion Forums

Hey I am new to scripting with mIRC, I want a script that when activated by command would raise a number in a txt file.

I already know I can write and replace the first line with

Code:

on *:TEXT:!add:#: {
  write -l1 number.txt 1
}

But I want that number to rise by 1 every time someone uses the command.
Thanks for the help.

Code:

on *:TEXT:!add:#: {
  write -l1 number.txt $calc($read(number.txt,1) + 1)
}

This doesn't seem to do anything for me.

This fails due to how mIRC handles the first line in a text file when this line is a number. See /help $read
You'll need to circumvent this by using:

Code:

on *:TEXT:!add:#:{
  write -l1 number.txt $calc($read(number.txt,0) +1)
}

Why do this in a text file and not make a variable for it?
