alas, what has 6.1 done - mIRC Discussion Forums

ok, ive got a sample here which goes through a txt file looking for a line, if that line exists, it halts, otherwise, it writes it to the text file.

Code:

alias listcheck {
  if ( $read(away.txt, s, $1-) ) {
    halt
  }
  else {
    write away.txt $1-
  }
}

this worked fine in 5.91 .. then i upgraded to 6.1 now it just seems to write to the file no matter what, ive checked the read me, and everything seems to be in order.

got any ideas ?

alias listcheck {
if ($read(away.txt, w, $1-)) halt
else write away.txt $1-
}

that'll do what you want.

cool, thanks
