bug in 6.3 with . $+ command - mIRC Discussion Forums

alias teste {
. $+ me is testing
}

was working on 6.2, not working anymore, it doesn't do anything

Reproduced here, well spotted

$+(.,me) is a reasonable workaround.

don't work neither $+()

Code:

alias teste {
  $+(.,me) is testing
}

Works fine here, if I type /teste in a query window to myself I receive my message back. Remember the . prefix will hide the local output

ok in fact
my code looks like

Quote:

alias teste {
$+(.,$replace(hello,hello,/me)) is testing
}

in 6.3:
/ME Unknown command

in 6.2
* //me: not connected to server (line 2, script1.mrc)

Remove the /

The reason you get two different errors is that in one you're connected to a server and in the other you are not.

yeah i fixed it, thanx, but i had to change my code, too bad

yeah i know, the second error is normal, but not the first

If one is normal so is the other. In both cases "/me" is being taken as the command name, not just "me".

/ME Unknown command
* //me: not connected to server (line 2, script1.mrc)

Edit: May as well point out this bug is probably related to items 21/22 of the 6.3 versions.txt:

21.Fixed command prefix /!. parsing inconsistencies across routines.
22.Fixed "// echo hello" being parsed as "//echo hello". The parser now halts parsing of empty // commands.

no, wrong

i've connected my second mirc (6.2)
and he say
* /me: cannot use /me in this window

while 6.3 says
/ME Unknown command

That's because you've tested 6.2 with one script and 6.3 with another.

Code:

alias teste {
  $+(./me) is testing
}

Gives:
/ME Unknown command
* //me: not connected to server (line 2, script.ini)

In both 6.2 and 6.3.

It's worth pointing out that the following:

Code:

alias teste {
  ./me is testing
}

doesn't produce an error, which is a bit inconsistent.

ok, so there is a bug in both versions
in 6.2

Quote:

. $+ /me << works
$+(.,/me) << don't work
$+(.,me) << work

in 6.3

Quote:

. $+ /me << don't work
$+(.,/me) << don't work
$+(.,me) << work

In mIRC 6.21 and earlier it was possible for the parser to treat / ! and . in different combinations and orders, with more than one of each being stripped out depending on the parsing order. This resulted in inconsistent behaviour.

In mIRC 6.3 the behaviour that you see is by design. Prefix parsing is now strictly handled across all routines in the order /!. to ensure consistent behaviour.

thanx
