I think this is wrong since the next line is a comment line and the script editor is not suppose indent the next line. Code: alias zzz { echo -ag testing ; this is a comment $& echo -ag I think this is not suppose to be indented } alias yyy { echo -ag testing ; this is a comment echo -ag this is a comment }

So yeah, mIRC doesn't treat the next line as a comment, it only indents wrongly because of the $& Last edited by Wims; 14/02/13 08:28 PM. #mircscripting @ irc.swiftirc.net == the best mIRC help channel

The fix should be to simply ignore $& inside comment blocks. - argv[0] on EFnet #mIRC - "Life is a pointer to an integer without a cast"
