Noop is a command that does literally nothing and doesn't care about any parameters.

 /noop

What is it good for, then?

It is a handy command when you need to evaluate some identifier without using the actual result. For example, you may want to evaluate a [[$regex]] identifier without using the information how many results it returns, just to later use the back-references it creates. Another example is [[$findfile]] which has a command option in itself, and therefore doesn't need any outside commands to handle its results.

For example:
 noop $regex(I have 6 brothers,/I have (\d+) brothers/) | [[echo|echo -ag]] The number of brothers is [[$regml|$regml(1)]]

'''Note:''' This command came in mirc 6.17, for older versions [[echo|.echo -qg]] would be the same thing (the dot to make it silent and -q not to show it, if it was silent).
