[00:42] <rattu> so is the DCCSERVER event not working in the new mirc?
[00:47] <argv[0]> i doubt thats the case
[00:47] <rattu> on *:DCCSERVER:Send:echo -s BLAHBLAH
[00:47] <rattu> that won't work when people send me files
[00:47] <argv[0]> This event triggers when someone tries to connect to your DCC Server.
[00:47] <argv[0]> ^ help file
[00:48] <rattu> so what event would i use?
[00:48] <rattu> this worked before
[00:48] <argv[0]> no it didnt
[00:48] <rattu> errr... maybe it didn't :)
[00:49] <rattu> what would i use then?
[00:49] <argv[0]> if you want the start of a send you need ctcp *:DCC SEND *:*:
[00:49] <argv[0]> the end, on FILERCVD
[00:49] <argv[0]> or filesent
[00:51] <rattu> aha... thanks :)

[01:33] * lobstr is now known as cirrux
[01:59] <hy> hi
[02:00] <hy> i have i site web
[03:09] * Mentalitt is now known as Mentality
[03:19] <jackal^> can someone connect to irc.choopa.net?
[03:21] <dirtpoor> ?
[03:22] <jackal^> whats unclear?
[03:22] <dirtpoor> my motivation
[03:23] <jackal^> just for test, cuz i cant, it redirects to irc.choopa.ca
[03:23] <dirtpoor> so?
[03:24] <dirtpoor> try #help beings how that request isn't mirc related
[03:25] <jackal^> i think it is, i tried with another client and i was able to connect
[03:25] <dirtpoor> so?
[03:25] <dirtpoor> thats irc server, not irc client
[03:39] * Brian_Is_ is now known as Schucz
[04:05] * Agrajag` is now known as Agrajag
[04:31] <Rezagrats> How do i setup a BNC ?
[04:32] <dirtpoor> is this mirc releated?
[04:32] <Rezagrats> Could be im not too sure
[04:33] <Rezagrats> But it has to do with the client i think ( new at the whole bnc thing, be
[04:33] <dirtpoor> partly it is, but what you want is how to use a shell which you will need
[04:34] <Rezagrats> Your killing me here,what?!
[04:34] <dirtpoor> you need to get a shell to run the bnc software on
[04:35] <Rezagrats> Im on linux, does that give me something better ?
[04:35] <dirtpoor> only if you plan on registering a domain and setting it up
[04:38] <Kollektiv> Rezagrats: What do you want a BNC for? To connect via your home PC from o
[04:39] <Rezagrats> BNC keeps you connected, right ?
[04:39] <Kollektiv> Yes, but only while whatever system is running on is online
[04:39] <Kollektiv> it's*
[04:40] <Rezagrats> I have DSL now, thats why i want a BNC ( maybe i am misunderstanding the
[04:41] <Kollektiv> so why not just keep your IRC client open?
[04:41] <Rezagrats> I do!
[04:41] <Kollektiv> then why do you want a BNC?
[04:41] <Rezagrats> But when i put my computer to hibernate, i turn it back on and when i try
[04:42] <Kollektiv> right, running a BNC on your own computer isn't going to help with that
[04:42] <Rezagrats> Ok
[04:42] <Kollektiv> you can't turn your computer off, put it to sleep, or hibernate it and st
[04:43] <Rezagrats> And here i thought it was just Wine
[04:43] <Kollektiv> You'd need to run a BNC either on another PC at home that's always on or
[04:43] <Rezagrats> "purchase" ? hwo much we talking ?
[04:43] <Rezagrats> How*
[04:44] <dirtpoor> I can prolly find a $1/mo shell
[04:44] <dirtpoor> never tested it tho
[04:44] <Rezagrats> Nothing free ?
[04:44] <dirtpoor> nothing good free
[04:45] <dirtpoor> nothing moderately good free
[04:45] <Rezagrats> So, what, they d/c a lot ?
[04:46] <dirtpoor> among other things
[04:46] <Rezagrats> ( sorry but im new to this whole thing, if im being trouble say so )
[04:46] <Rezagrats> What othter things ?
[04:47] <dirtpoor> like not allowing bnc's bot's irc in general...
[05:30] <raihan_co> hai
[06:18] * Agrajag` is now known as Agrajag
[06:20] <AzraDarkn> would a hotlink be able to work if something has already been processed b
[06:28] <Kollektiv> yes
[06:30] <AzraDarkn> if someone said [blah] or [blah] would it matter?
[06:30] <AzraDarkn> or would the hotlink pickup both
[06:41] <Kollektiv> That depends on how you write it
[06:42] <AzraDarkn> i was writing it *[*]*
[06:42] <AzraDarkn> but it doesnt seem to trigger
[06:43] <AzraDarkn> i did this as an example on ^*:HOTLINK:*[*]*:#den:{ echo clicked word $1
[06:44] <AzraDarkn> here is what someone said in the channel: [09:43] [Illyria(238)] [Nerubia
[06:47] <Kollektiv> what about the non-^ HOTLINK event?
[06:48] <Kollektiv> on ^HOTLINK triggers on mouseover, on HOTLINK triggers on mousedown
[06:48] <AzraDarkn> yah i want to do a mouseopver the slavemaker, so when i click it it will
[06:49] <AzraDarkn> ill show you the unparsed text.
[06:49] <Kollektiv> I'm not sure you're getting it
[06:49] <Kollektiv> The event you just gave will echo every time you move your mouse over a w
[06:50] <Kollektiv> that is a bad thing
[06:50] <AzraDarkn> thats fine for right now, i just need it to work.
[06:50] <AzraDarkn> its not working.
[06:50] <Kollektiv> Then you have something above it in the script editor that's screwing it
[06:50] <AzraDarkn> ill mod it later include the colors of within the []
[06:51] <Kollektiv> (or remotes are off)
[06:51] <AzraDarkn> i have the on text event
[06:51] <AzraDarkn> the on text is working
[06:51] <Kollektiv> click the tick button in the script editor
[06:52] <AzraDarkn> i dont have any errors
[06:52] <AzraDarkn> everything is working except the hotlinks
[06:52] <Kollektiv> place the hotlink event above in a new file
[06:53] <AzraDarkn> [Reins of the Swift Stormsaber]
[06:53] <AzraDarkn> that is the item that is being called.
[06:53] <AzraDarkn> oh
[06:54] <AzraDarkn> wasnt it. damn
[06:54] <Kollektiv> that has spaces in it
[06:54] <AzraDarkn> * should pick it
[06:54] <Kollektiv> no
[06:54] <Kollektiv> HOTLINK works on words
[06:55] <AzraDarkn> on 1:HOTLINK:*:*:echo clicked word $1 in line $hotline $hotlinepos
[06:55] <AzraDarkn> that is in the help file
[06:55] <Kollektiv> ...
[06:55] <Kollektiv> HOTLINK works on words.
[06:56] <Kollektiv> the matchtext event is for matching words, not whole lines
[06:56] <Kollektiv> matchtext section of the event*
[06:56] <Kollektiv> in that example * just means "any word"
[06:56] <Kollektiv> *[* would mean any word that contained a [, and [* would be any word star
[06:57] <Kollektiv> that isn't to say that matching multiple words is impossible, it's just c
[06:57] <AzraDarkn> so since there are 1000s of possibilities for what can be between the []
[06:58] * Mentalitt is now known as Mentality
[06:58] <AzraDarkn> ill give up.
[06:58] <Kollektiv> I'll try for fun.
[07:04] <AzraDarkn> Kollektiv: i should be able to use *[*
[07:05] <Kollektiv> yes, for the first word
[07:05] <AzraDarkn> unless i use an on text to find it before hand
[07:05] <AzraDarkn> and have it replace the spaces with _..and call the %var..
[07:08] <Kollektiv> yes, that would be one way of doing it
[07:09] <Kollektiv> on ^*:HOTLINK:*:#mIRC:{ tokenize 32 $hotlinepos | var %[ = $count($gettok
[07:09] <Kollektiv> that has the disadvantage of non-clickable spaces, though
[07:10] <Kollektiv> [hand] pointer [hand hand hand]
[07:11] <Kollektiv> hrm
[07:13] <SineTwo> how on earth do you DISABLE the whole copy the line when clicking in MIRC?
[07:13] <Kollektiv> You can't
[07:13] <SineTwo> it gets frustratingly annoying when you click on the mirc window to type an
[07:13] <Kollektiv> stop highlighting things if you don't want to copy them
[07:13] <Kollektiv> and it's done that for years
[07:14] <SineTwo> before it didnt copy LINES upon click, it would copy whatever you would mar
[07:14] <SineTwo> but if there's no way around it then alright, thanks :)
[07:14] <Kollektiv> and that's still all it does
[07:14] <SineTwo> no.
[07:14] <Kollektiv> if it's doing anything else you have a buggy script
[07:14] <Kollektiv> Yes.
[07:15] <SineTwo> if i click to the right of your line, it'll highlight the whole sentence (t
[07:15] <Kollektiv> mIRC doesn't copy anything with a single, undragged click
[07:15] <Kollektiv> maybe your script does, but that's your problem
[07:15] <SineTwo> odd, i've had the same mIRC for years, i'll try a fresh install (and no, i
[07:15] <SineTwo> i'll try that, thanks
[07:23] <SineTwo> still does it.
[07:23] <SineTwo> oh well.
[07:28] <AzraDarkn> damn this is tough
[07:36] <AzraDarkn> sweet
[07:36] <AzraDarkn> i got it working for 1 set of []
[07:36] <AzraDarkn> Kollektiv: thanks! :)
[07:37] * Kollektiv changes topic to 'mIRC 6.31 @ http://mirc.stealth.net - We know about the ads i
[07:41] <gencha> there are ads in mirc?
[07:41] <Kollektiv> One, in the About dialog, after 30 days, if you don't pay
[07:42] <gencha> well i regged years ago, so i'm totally missing out!
[07:59] <AzraDarkn> Kollektiv: i got it now, i wrote a routine to check to see if the word th
[07:59] <AzraDarkn> ty :)
[07:59] <Riamus> anyone around for a question about binary variables and hash tables?
[08:01] <Riamus> I'm trying to /bread some text from a file, then insert that text into a has
[08:01] <Riamus> Then, I'm trying to insert the final &variable into the hash table --- hadd
[08:01] <Riamus> err...
[08:02] <Riamus> Then, I'm trying to insert the final &variable into the hash table --- hadd
[08:02] <Riamus> however, I seem to be inserting filenames instead of the contents of the fil
[08:03] <overlord1> hey
[08:03] <overlord1> anyone care to comment a website design
[08:04] <gencha> always
[08:05] <Kollektiv> Riamus: Why do you have the $remove($nopath()) thing there?
[08:05] <overlord1> excelfunds.com/excel2/ (the drop-down menus are not done yet)
[08:12] <overlord1> are you going to check it
[08:14] <Kollektiv> This isn't the right channel for web design commentaries, but it strikes
[08:14] <Riamus> Kollektiv, that's temporary... ignore that. That's why I redid the line
[08:14] <Riamus> I was testing something
[08:15] <overlord1> ok
[08:15] <overlord1> gencha said "always" that's why
[08:15] <Kollektiv> Riamus: what happens if you echo the contents of the bvar, is it correct?
[08:16] <Riamus> yeah
[08:17] <Riamus> it seems to be
[08:17] <Kollektiv> check the results with /hadd -sb, then
[08:18] <overlord1> ok buh bye
[08:18] <Riamus> ok
[08:19] <Riamus> just a minute
[08:33] <Riamus> sorry for the delay, Kollektiv... ran into some problems
[08:33] <Riamus> here:
[08:33] <Riamus> from the /hadd: * Added item 'qt0178044' to hash table 'imdb.tt0071853'
[08:34] <Riamus> from the actual variable: Guard #2: [hiccups]
[08:35] <Riamus> basically, it has to read and insert text from a file that is multiple lines
[08:35] <Riamus> into a single hash table item
[08:35] <Riamus> (it's an imdb quote script)
[08:36] <Riamus> well... it's to convert the data from one into a newer one
[08:46] <Riamus> what I don't understand with it is why it's adding the filename instead of w
[08:47] <Riamus> well, ignore that... I read it wrong, it added the correct item... but it do
[08:52] <Riamus> ok... I may be wrong in this format, if so correct me. I tried this after do
[08:52] <Riamus> //echo -a Set: $hget(imdb.tt0071853,qt0178044,&test) | echo -a $bvar(&test,0
[08:52] <Riamus> results are 0 and 0 for the $bvar echos
[08:52] <Riamus> well... 0 and $nulll
[08:54] <Riamus> I do notice that some of the $bvar echos when using /bread results in $null.
[08:55] <task0> hello all, is there any way of changing my nick according to the server i con
[08:55] <Riamus> you can use -i with the /server command to set your nick
[08:56] <Riamus> /help /server
[08:56] <task0> nothing automatic?
[08:56] <Riamus> or just use something like if ($network == efnet) { nick efnetnick }
[08:56] <Riamus> put that into an on *:connect: { } event
[08:57] <task0> Riamus: that's what i want... how can i use that?
[08:57] <Riamus> on *:connect: {
[08:57] <Riamus> if ($network == efnet) { nick efnetnick }
[08:57] <Riamus> elseif ($network == undernet) { nick undernetnick }
[08:57] <Riamus> }
[08:57] <Riamus> repeat the elseif as needed
[08:57] <task0> where do i put that?
[08:58] <Riamus> alt-r > remotes tab > File > new
[08:58] <Riamus> were you still around, Kollektiv?
[08:58] <task0> Riamus: is the elseif required?
[08:58] <Riamus> only if you're going to do more than one network
[08:59] <task0> no, just once
[08:59] <task0> default nicks on others
[08:59] <Riamus> then no... though it may change your default nick, so might be better to cha
[08:59] <Riamus> else { nick undernetnick }
[09:00] <Riamus> *undernetnick = defaultnick
[09:01] <task0> so
[09:01] <task0> on *:connect: {
[09:01] <task0> if ($network == P2P-NET) { nick tasken }
[09:01] <task0> else { nick task0 }
[09:01] <task0> }
[09:02] <Riamus> yeah
[09:02] <Riamus> as long as p2p-net is the right network name (you can verify with //echo -a
[09:03] <task0> ye
[09:03] <task0> s
[09:04] <task0> the problem is that the nick is changed after connect
[09:04] <task0> and that way i can't autentificate
[09:04] <Riamus> well, unless you're going to use -i on server, yes, it will be changed after
[09:04] <RickyWh> whats the proper way to specify multiple servers to connect to on mirc star
[09:05] <task0> Riamus: can't i add to the script the /msg NickServ IDENTIFY?
[09:05] <Riamus> you can still auth by just using the on notice event to wait for the auth re
[09:05] <task0> how can i do that?
[09:05] <Riamus> you can add it to the connect, but it may be too soon
[09:05] <Riamus> won't know until you test it
[09:06] <task0> cant i add a "wait 10 segs?! :D
[09:06] <Riamus> if ($network == efnet) { nick efnetnick | msg nickserv identify password }
[09:06] <Riamus> well, yeah... but that's 10s every time even if not necessary
[09:06] <task0> :S
[09:06] <Riamus> if ($network == efnet) { nick efnetnick | .timer 1 10 msg nickserv identify
[09:06] <Riamus> RickyWh --
[09:07] <Riamus> on *:start: {

[09:07] <Riamus> server -m irc.network3.net
[09:07] <Riamus> }
[09:07] <Riamus> etc
[09:08] <task0> Riamus: it seems it worked
[09:10] <task0> will the msg nickserv identify be triggered on all networks?
[09:11] <Riamus> if you put it in the ELSE
[09:11] <task0> oo, ok
[09:11] <task0> thank you very much
[09:11] <Riamus> np
[09:23] <RickyWh> Riamus, where do i put that code?
[09:27] <RickyWh> Riamus, ya here still?
[09:28] <Kollektiv> Alt+R -> Remote
[09:36] <RickyWh> ahh ok
[09:37] <RickyWh> thanks :)
[09:41] <RickyWh> testing now
[09:42] <Riamus> ok... what's wrong here?
[09:42] <Riamus> //bread colors.txt 1 -1 &test | echo -a $bvar(&test,1,5).text
[09:42] <Riamus> colors.txt just has 2 lines ... 4 on line 1, 5 on line 2
[09:43] <RickyWh> Riamus, nope, didn't work
[09:43] <RickyWh> just my first server connected
[09:43] <Riamus> gives me: * /bread: invalid parameters
[09:43] <Riamus> RickyWh ... if it's in that format, it should work fine as long as you close
[09:44] <RickyWh> yes, i used tabs in your code though
[09:44] <RickyWh> to indent the code block
[09:44] <Riamus> you cannot use tabs
[09:44] <Riamus> spaces only
[09:44] <RickyWh> ahh k, brb
[09:45] <Riamus> lol
[09:45] <Kollektiv> Riamus: The file starts at 0, and -1 isn't valid
[09:45] <Kollektiv> use $lof
[09:45] <Riamus> If N is -1, all of the specified data is written to the file.
[09:45] <Kollektiv> that's /bwrite
[09:45] <Kollektiv> you're using /bread
[09:45] <Riamus> argh
[09:45] <Riamus> oops
[09:46] <Riamus> what's $lof? it's not in help
[09:46] <Kollektiv> $lof(colors.txt), or $file(colors.txt).size
[09:46] <Kollektiv> Length Of File
[09:46] <Riamus> basically... need to just read the entire file into the binary variable.
[09:46] <Riamus> ok
[09:46] <Riamus> trying
[09:47] <Riamus> ok, seems to work, but I lose carriage returns
[09:47] <Riamus> is there a way to keep them?
[09:47] <Kollektiv> lose them where?
[09:47] <Kollektiv> oh, you're on vista
[09:47] <Kollektiv> they probably won't display, but they are in the bvar
[09:47] <Riamus> When it echoes, it echoes as "45" instead of "4" then "5"
[09:48] <Riamus> what would be the best way to ouput it on the right lines, then?
[09:48] <Kollektiv> you can echo without .text to confirm that
[09:48] <Kollektiv> $bfind and a loop, I suppose
[09:49] <Riamus> hm...
[10:02] <Riamus> ok, Kollektiv. thanks. I got it to work the way I needed.
[10:03] <Riamus> rather than $bfind and a loop, since I'm trying to display the output, I'm j

[11:05] <OdinNT> I have installed the newest version of mirc
[11:06] <argv[0]> congrats
[11:06] <OdinNT> I can not find where the program is placing directories on my hdd for things
[11:06] <argv[0]> //run $logdir and //run $getdir
[11:06] <argv[0]> type those
[11:07] <OdinNT> I see the path when I use mirc to access this, but it is not shown in window
[11:07] <argv[0]> type //echo -a $logdir
[11:07] <argv[0]> or //echo -a $getdir
[11:08] <OdinNT> yes, that shows me the path, but will I try to access the directory it self,
[11:09] <OdinNT> when I use windows exploere to browse to that directory, I can make it to th

[11:27] <devilish_> hi
[11:33] <argv[0]> OdinNT thats because you're not showing hidden files, you need to enable th

[12:16] <Bekar> you mean: [07:16] Bekar is away: Floating.. floating...
[12:16] <Bekar> a raw 301 ? it does.
[12:16] <Bekar> assuming they're set away.
[12:17] <Bekar> if they aren't set away, then there's no status to show.

[12:45] <rattu> say i want to call a variable that is %rattu, but i want to call it like % $+
[12:45] <rattu> how can i get this to evaluate?
[12:48] <Sais> //var % $+ $me test | echo -a $($+(%,$me),2)
[12:48] <Sais> Note that var does *not* take an '=' in dynamic var creations...unintuitively
[12:50] <rattu> that works... but i don't understand the notation
[12:51] <Sais> $(...,2) evaluates the ... twice
[12:51] <Sais> $+(...) concatenates its arguments
[12:51] <rattu> ahhh... gotcha
[12:51] <rattu> thanks :0
[12:52] <Sais> //echo -a $($+(%,$me),0) $($+(%,$me),1) $($+(%,$me),2)
[12:52] <rattu> //echo -a $(% $+ $me,2)
[12:52] <rattu> that would also work :)
[12:52] <Sais> yep
[12:53] <rattu> wow... awesome thanks

[14:13] <rattz> or is there an easier way?
[14:13] <s0nted> uhm
[14:13] <Rezagrats> Look at the file ?
[14:13] <s0nted> $remove(file.rar,.rar)

[14:14] <s0nted> anytime rattz

[14:15] <dirtpoor> no, you ran out of questions
[14:15] <dirtpoor> sorry, maybe next time
[14:15] <rattz> in mirc, if you want to concatenate things... you can use $blah + stuff
[14:15] <rattz> how would you do this in dos?

[14:17] <Rezagrats> There are ads in mIRC now ?
[14:18] <dirtpoor> yes
[14:18] <Rezagrats> What kind ?
[14:18] <dirtpoor> filthy tasteless ones
[14:18] <dirtpoor> what kind you think?
[14:18] <Rezagrats> o_O
[14:18] <Rezagrats> Idk!
[14:18] <Rezagrats> 6.16 is the only one ive been using
[14:19] <s0nted> yeah i have same
[14:19] <Rezagrats> Let me guess your using a script that only is available on 6.16 ?
[14:20] <dirtpoor> most scripts are forward compatable
[14:20] <s0nted> eh? oh no i just lazy
[14:20] <s0nted> to update
[14:20] <s0nted> i actually have 6.31 but yeah i dun want to rewrite everything
[14:21] <Rezagrats> Dirtpoor, google, corpse script and see if it's compatible with 6.31
[14:21] <s0nted> yeah i found too many changes to just import and what not
[14:21] <dirtpoor> I used to use PnP on 6.12
[14:21] <dirtpoor> and it wasn't made for that version
[14:21] <Rezagrats> Dunno what that is
[14:22] <dirtpoor> script
[14:22] <s0nted> peace and protection
[14:22] <Rezagrats> Oh
[14:22] <dirtpoor> yawp
[14:22] <Rezagrats> Does
[14:22] <Rezagrats> Does ... what*
[14:22] <s0nted> *lost*
[14:22] <dirtpoor> uh...
[14:22] <s0nted> yeah like echo -q == noop in 6.31 now
[14:23] <s0nted> huge change there
[14:23] <Rezagrats> Oh yeah that *HUGE*
[14:23] <dirtpoor> does echo -q still work?
[14:23] <Rezagrats> (not)
[14:23] <CLUELESSS> what does diaf stand for?
[14:23] <s0nted> Rezagrats yeah my irony doesn't translate well on the net does it?
[14:23] <jackal^> !google diaf
[14:24] <Rezagrats> Heck, idk
[14:25] <CLUELESSS> but its some sort of irc lingo
[14:25] <Rezagrats> Good question dirtpoor, does 'echo -q' still work?!
[14:25] <s0nted> uhm
[14:25] <s0nted> CLUELESSS it's 'iaf'
[14:26] <s0nted> well it sure ain't backwards compatible
[14:26] <Rezagrats> Is commentin in script files allowed ?
[14:26] <argv[0]> done in a few?
[14:26] <dirtpoor> yeah

[14:27] <s0nted> i love /* */ for large ones
[14:28] <CLUELESSS> sat how did u know that
[14:29] <s0nted> CLUELESSS when you are on irc long enough you learn this stuff
[14:29] <s0nted> there is no irc dictionary sorry
[14:30] <dirtpoor> we should put one together
[14:30] <CLUELESSS> lol how could someone say something like that and exppect us to know what
[14:30] <s0nted> CLUELESSS you just learn by asking as you did
[14:30] <s0nted> get used to irc world rather than expecting it to adapt to you
[14:31] <sat> i remember not knowing what all those weird ":)" character pairs meant
[14:31] <s0nted> i remember typing them out in typing class every morning before lessons on t
[14:51] <Rezagrats> Is there a text font that is equal to Fixed
[14:51] <Rezagrats> Sys*
[14:51] <dirtpoor> look thru them and find out
[14:51] <Rezagrats> ....
[14:51] <dirtpoor> that ranks right up there with rtfm
[14:54] <Rezagrats> Would it be possible to create my own text ?
[14:54] <dirtpoor> get a font making program
[14:54] <dirtpoor> there are millions of fonts on the web tho
[14:54] <Rezagrats> I know i know, but linux is making it harder and harder to adjust

[17:34] <Raccoon> Raccoon LTD or Raccoon Limited
[17:35] <dirtpoor> limited
[17:36] <Raccoon> or LLC
[17:36] <Raccoon> which i -think- is the same thing?
[17:36] <dirtpoor> no
[17:36] <dirtpoor> dunno actually
[17:37] <Raccoon> limited liability company
[17:37] <argv[0]> LLC
[17:38] <argv[0]> but without the raccoon part
[17:38] <argv[0]> cause thats just dumb.
[17:38] <s0nted> LICK
[17:38] <s0nted> everytime i see llc i think of that
[17:38] <Raccoon> :P

[17:38] <dirtpoor> dude
[17:39] <s0nted> i'll buy that for a dollar
[18:34] <rattz> can i run aliases in mirc from a batch file?
[18:40] <dirtpoor> no
[18:40] <dirtpoor> what do you need a batch file for?
[18:40] <dirtpoor> just do it from mirc
[18:42] <argv[0]> i think he wants to invoke the mirc interpreter from outside mirc
[18:42] <argv[0]> because he doesnt know any other scripting languages
[18:42] <argv[0]> like every other person that requests similar functionality
[18:43] <dirtpoor> ah
[19:04] <rattz> bingo :)
[19:04] <rattz> i'm unraring a file... and i need to complete script after unraring finishes
[19:04] <rattz> the best way to accomplish this is to use a batch file
[19:05] <argv[0]> er, nah
[19:05] <tomalak> Raccoon: "Raccoon Limited", given that it involves your name, trading name,
[19:05] <argv[0]> rattz www.kthx.net/clb/exec
[19:05] <tomalak> "My name's Raccoon, and I am limited."
[19:06] <Raccoon> what uncertainty
[19:06] <Raccoon> Raccoon Unlimited?
[19:06] <tomalak> Unless you spin it somehow to use the fact that "-oon Limited" may sound li
[19:10] <rattz> so will your script pause until this /exec command is completed?
[19:10] <argv[0]> it can run asynchronously
[19:10] <rattz> what's that mean? :)
[19:11] <argv[0]> it means, no, it wont pause if you dont want it to
[19:11] <argv[0]> but it can if you do
[19:11] <argv[0]> (you probably dont)
[19:11] <Co_Honest> h
[19:11] <rattz> i need it to pause until it finishes unraring the files
[19:11] <argv[0]> you definitely dont want that
[19:12] <rattz> i dont want it to pause?
[19:12] <argv[0]> "pause" as in freeze mirc? no.
[19:12] <argv[0]> thats insane.
[19:12] <rattz> i want it to wait for unraring to complete before sending the next command
[19:12] <rattz> i can do that with a batch file with winrar blah blah && blah blah
[19:13] <argv[0]> and you can do that without batch files too
[19:13] <argv[0]> you dont need to pause anything to do that
[19:13] <argv[0]> you just need to write your code to wait until it hears back from the app
[19:13] <argv[0]> saying its done
[19:13] <rattz> that's what this exec.dll thing does?
[19:13] <argv[0]> no. it just pipes to a command prompt silently. you implicitly have that ab
[19:14] <rattz> can you explain a little?
[19:14] <argv[0]> well, you can send "rar -x blah.rar && echo done"
[19:15] <argv[0]> and just wait to get the signal event or alias call from exec.dll with "don
[19:15] <rattz> ahhhh!
[19:15] <rattz> gotcha
[19:15] <rattz> i dont need exec.dll to do that do i?
[19:15] <argv[0]> not necessarily, if you have a better way
[19:15] <rattz> errr... yeah
[19:16] <argv[0]> in retrospect i should automatically send a "done" signal, but oh well
[19:16] <argv[0]> anyway, you can also just check file status if you dont want to use a dll
[19:16] <argv[0]> rar -x blah && echo dont > tmpfile.txt
[19:16] <argv[0]> use a timer to check $exists(tmpfile.txt)
[19:16] <argv[0]> but you're using a timer, ie. polling, which is less efficient
[19:17] <rattz> yeah i'd rather not do it that way
[19:17] <argv[0]> so exec is by no means "necessary", but way cleaner
[19:17] <rattz> well how do i use this on *:signal ?
[19:17] <argv[0]> there are plenty of examples in the readme
[19:18] <argv[0]> http://www.kthx.net/clb/exec/README.txt
[19:18] <argv[0]> the last two show how to do callbacks
[19:19] <argv[0]> and there are probably more examples and documentation on the switches in t
[19:19] <argv[0]> i forget

[19:27] <OdinNT> hello
[19:28] <OdinNT> where would I send email to request a function with in mirc
[19:28] <OdinNT> a configuration option through the gui and not using scripting
[19:30] <argv[0]> for?
[19:30] <argv[0]> help -> messageboard has a feature suggestion board
[19:32] <OdinNT> it would be nice if you could use Options/conect/server to configure network
[19:32] <OdinNT> just click connect and away you go
[19:32] <dirtpoor> don't like it? use a different client
[19:33] <argv[0]> OdinNT thats been suggested before
[19:33] <argv[0]> we'll see what happens
[19:33] <OdinNT> I'm just having a hard time getting 6.31 setup to use a random server list
[19:34] <dirtpoor> /server <group name>
[19:34] <argv[0]> you can use your favourites list to join channels on certain networks
[19:34] <OdinNT> I was hoping to use connect on startup
[19:34] <OdinNT> join on connection
[19:36] <OdinNT> I was going to upgrade since I cooked my other workstation and this is a new

[19:52] <rattz> is there a command in mirc to move directories?
[19:52] <argv[0]> rename
[19:55] <gatgame> anyone know how i can code irc to trim a log?
[19:57] <argv[0]> you can run /filter on the file

[19:58] <argv[0]> <=

[22:13] <argv[0]> thats unspecifc
[22:13] <argv[0]> what did you do?
[22:13] <argv[0]> it probably didnt work because you did something wrong
[22:14] <mil> insufficient parameters
[22:14] <mil> says
[22:14] <argv[0]> right, because you need to pass in parameters
[22:14] <dirtpoor> /help /savebuf

[22:52] <argv[0]> youre only having it trigger in private messages, not channels
[22:53] <mario-> yes
[22:53] <mario-> just in privater
