/var bug-problem - mIRC Discussion Forums

var %BindName = $remove($1-,%Trigger), %BindValue = $v1 << works
var %BindName $remove($1-,%Trigger), %BindValue = $v1 << doesnt
var %test1 one, %test2 = two << works
var %test1 = one, %test2 = two << works

This problem is probably due to the way the var command evaluates $identifiers i dont see why this problem needs to be there tho.

var's syntax is

Code:

var %var = val

The fact that

Code:

var %var val

sometimes works is an artifact, from what I understand. Therefore code should not depend on that form.

I, personally, wouldn't be averse to having set and var's syntax consolidated to one or the other form. Preferably with '=' it's just more aesthetically pleasing, imho

P.S. I am pretty certain your point has been raised several times previously.

Right. As long as there is any identifier used for the variable, you need the = sign. And, since this is the correct syntax for /var, I don't think that's an issue. Just use = regularly and you'll be fine.

Why = is your friend :p

Well....

Code:

//var %x = 100, %t [ $+ [ %x ] ] $rand(1, [ %x ] ) | echo -a %t [ $+ [ %x ] ]

Produces "#" and

Code:

//var %x = 100, %t [ $+ [ %x ] ] = $rand(1, [ %x ] ) | echo -a %t [ $+ [ %x ] ]

Produces "= #"

Figure that one out...

Actually thats all explained in the other topic

Dynamic local variables break the =
Its highly questionable if one really needs dynamic local variables.
