Found this bug... example:

alias buggy {
echo -a $$?="Input some text" | echo -a text 2 | echo -a text 3
}


If you click "Cancel" on the input request, then also other commands won't be executed ( echo -a text 2 | echo -a text 3 )

The $$ is halting the script from processing when
cancel is clicked .. try using one $ instead.

type /help $$

~ Edit ~

From mirc.hlp

The double $$ means that this command will only be executed if a parameter is specified. If you specify only one parameter in the above command it will not be executed.

Please research bugs a little more before posting them. Since the release there's been a flood of bug reports so Khaled could do without having to read things like this.

@ mIRCManiac: Hitting "Cancel" should only halt the command in which "$$?" is used.
I can't use $, I MUST use $$.
I try to explain it better with another example:

alias firstrun {
nick $$?="Please insert your nick"
anick $$?="Please insert your alternative nickname"
}

In this case, the user must have the possibility to set/change alternative nick, without setting/changing the main nick.
In 6.17 if you press Cancel at the first request, the entire alias is stopped, so the input request for alternative nick will never come.

In mirc 6.16 it works good, so I suppose it's a bug of v6.17.

$$ has always halted the whole script/alias...

How it should behave in your opinion and how it does
behave are two different things, it doesn't just halt the
command calling it, it halts the entire script processing.



It's behaved this way for as long as I can
remember, which is a really long time.

You're mistaken.

Anyway, you can use something like this:

You really shouldn't be using $? anymore.
Khaled already announced in mIRC 5.9 that $? is depracated and $input replaces it. In my opinoin he should have already deleted the feature, just like the old $parm and $parms

Does $input works ok for you instead $? ?
