$os not returning proper version - mIRC Discussion Forums

In updates.txt there is:

18.$os now returns NET for .NET systems.

This behavior is not correct since Windows .NET does not exist. Windows .NET was renamed to Windows 2003 before it was released. So $os should return 2003 instead of .NET

i know its a bug, but its really easy to reproduce:

Code:

alias o.s {
return $replace($os,.NET,2003)
}

Unfortunately, mIRC doesn't allow you to override internal identifiers.

correct me if im wong (im not testing... 1 i dont have server 2K3, 2 theres no ctrl break anymore!!!! >:| [or so iv heard])

but isnt this an infinity loop?
alias os { return $replace($os,.NET,2003) }

No ctrl+break any more huh?

* Break: command halted (line 2, script.mrc)

So much for ctrl+break!

forgot about that

,edited

$o.s

There sure is Ctrl+Break and it works but only until before (Not responding) is printed in the titlebar. After you see (Not responding), Ctrl+Break doesn't work. Note that I've only seen this on WinXP, I have no idea what happens on other Windows versions.

//echo $replace($os,XP,NT5.1)

It replaces it for me.

There is no Windows 2003 either. It's Windows Server 2003 :tongue:

iv seen posts with somthing about break dont work anymore like it should idk...i didnt try it myself, i never got caught in a loop yet
