if elseif else statement - mIRC Discussion Forums

Hey mIRC team and Users,

is was wondering if anyone could help me and if the developers could check this out.
the if, elseif and else statement.
I've got some issues with it.
On the help page the first thing i read is

Quote

Basic format
if (v1 operator v2) { commands }
elseif (v1 operator v2) { commands }
else { commands }

So i tried

Quote

on *:TEXT:*:#: {
if ($1 === Yo){/msg $chan hi}
elseif ($1 === That){/msg $chan ok}
else {/msg $chan forget it}
}

But that failed.
While reading further and experimenting
i found the bottom partial script code to be working.
Can someone explain this to me, why this difference in statement?

You need to add a space on

Code

){/msg $chan hi }

So use:

Code

) { /msg $chan hi }

Check and use the format as you see in the examples exactly, you can see more examples in the online wiki https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/mirc

You need space around { and } (though } don't need a space on it's right if it terminates the line/file)
