write -dl+string question - mIRC Discussion Forums

hello,

how would delete a line in a text file based on a variable that hold the line number to be deleted?

/write -dl%rlinenr filename.txt

doesn't seem to work

/write -dl $+ %rlinenr filename.txt

/write -d%d filename.txt
assuming you set the variable to %d

I'd use collectives his is better

That doesn't work, please test your code before posting it.

It is tested it currently works in my mirc under my scripts

Code:

alias wrong {
  write test.txt a
  write test.txt b
  write test.txt c
  set %d 2
  write -d%d test.txt
  run test.txt
}

Will give you:
a
b

which is wrong, it should give you:
a
c

which mine does. Yours always deletes the last line, that isn't what he wants.

sorry for the late response but I forgot my password which I needed to enter on this machine that didn't have the cookie yet.

anyway thanks for the replies, I'll try them out when I'm at home.

btw, didn't even know about that $+ thingy but according to the mIRC help that should do the trick.

works great guys
