#Mirc variables windows

mIRC's scripting parser only supports a maximum of 4,147 (947 prior to mIRC 6.32) characters per line (not including newlines or indentation).var is merely an internal alias for set -l but var poses the means to declare multiple local variables on a single line. Accessible only within the scope that created them.Can store NUL (ASCII 0) or trailing spaces.

Created using the set command or var -g or %Variable = value notation.

Do not automatically unset (stored automatically in a mIRC initialization file).

Cannot store NUL (ASCII 0) or trailing spaces.

May contain up to 4,147 (946 prior to mIRC 6.32) bytes of data (however due to line-length limitations in mIRC's scripting parser, a maximum of 4,144 bytes can be assigned explicitly - this number decreasing as the variable's name grows longer).

The default size of an hash table created using /hmake table name is actually 100 and not 1000 items.

Each table defaults with a size to hold 1000 different items, but this may be enlarged to potentially unlimited sizes

Size limited only by the computer's memory limits.Faster than accessing from a variable or INI file, as hash tables are stored in memory rather than the hard disk.This limit is imposed by mIRC's scripting parser's own line length limitation (unless assigning a binary variable) May contain unlimited binary data or up to 4,143 (941 prior to mIRC 6.32) bytes of plain text.Cannot be accessed other than by /bread and /bwrite, so these variables cannot be passed onto other parts of the script.Automatically unset when script returns control to mIRC (and not to another part of a script).Globally accessible via commands and identifiers.Contain unlimited (8192 bytes prior to mIRC 6.1) raw data.In some cases /filter and /savebuf is an even more efficient (non scripted loop) method. Multiple accesses, during a loop for instance, is best handled through /fopen, /fwrite and /fclose. Because each time you issue $read or /write you open and close the file for access. The above is intended for singular access to the file. Scripts can read from and write to files ) | /write ] Commands and aliases are not preceded by any particular character (although when entered from a window's command line they must be preceded by the command prefix, usually /). Identifiers (whether custom or built-in) are preceded by $, binary variables are preceded by &, and other variables (whether local or global) are preceded by %. Remotes are called when the event they handle occurs. But the user community (who tend not to read scripting manuals) took to calling the individual items popups-perhaps thinking of the colourful novelty actions that are popular with many users as pages of a popup book. The term originally referred to the menus-which pop up upon a right click. Popups are called when they are selected by the user. Popups are scripted context menu items.Both are called from the command line or other parts of a script in the same ways as built-in commands and identifiers (and can even supersede them). Aliases that return a value are known as custom identifiers. Custom scripted functions are called aliases.Built-in functions are termed commands or, if they return a value, identifiers.(Most notably, the term identifier-which in most languages refers to the name of a variable or function (whether it returns a value or not)-in mIRC refers specifically to a value returning function.) MIRC scripting involves a peculiar nomenclature that is not entirely consistent with most of the rest of the programming world. Multiple script files can be loaded at one time, although in some cases, one script will conflict with another and cause one or both of them to no longer work properly.

They however can be stored with any extension. Scripts are stored as either plain text files, usually with a.

Popular mIRC dialog extensions include MDX ( Mirc Dialog Extension) and DCX ( Dialog Control Extension) There are also a few versions of mdx.dll and dcx.dll modded by irc hackers.īots that provide automated IRC channel management, trivia or other games, and other desired functions for chattersĬommands that save typing or otherwise simplify life on IRC (such as automatically identifying as the owner of a nickname).
