Revision as of 16:30, 21 February 2011

This is a copy of the database with information on mIRC. This database is used for the mirc command on Dana. For now, the actual database on Dana needs to be manually updated when changes are made here.

When updating the database in this article, only update a single entry at a time, clearly describing what entry has been changed and if applicable what mIRC version. Please keep in mind this info is shown on IRC, so an entry must not have too much info/lines, also keep an eye on the length of the lines. Please keep the database in an alphabetical order.

The format of this database is as follows: The ¶ is used to mark the start of a new entry, an entry can have multiple lines.

An example/guideline for an identifier:

¶$abs
$abs(N)
Returns the absolute value of number N.

An example/guideline for a command:

¶/break
/break
You can use /break to break out of the current loop, and /continue to jump to the beginning of the loop.

An example/guideline for an operator:

¶<
string <v1> is less than string <v2>
if (<v1> < <v2>) { <commands> } 

An example/guideline for a prefix:

¶@
@ prefix can be used to only trigger the event if you are opped on the channel. so it is the same as using if ($me isop $chan) { <commands> }
on @*:JOIN:#:{ mode $chan +v $nick }

An example/guideline for an event:

¶on KICK
on [<prefixes>]<level>:KICK:<channel>[,<channel>]:{ <commands> }
Triggers when a user is kicked from a channel.

Database is based on mIRC 6.31 (last updated on 6 Feb 2008). The first entry should be 'mirc' and contains info on what mIRC version it is based on and when it was last edited.

Here starts the database itself.

¶mirc
This quick reference database is based on mIRC (version 6.31), last edited on 6 Feb 2008.
¶!
! prefix can be used to make an event not get triggered by yourself. on !*:JOIN:#:{ echo $chan $nick joined $chan }
! suffix prevents commands for a certain event level from being processed by using the ! suffix. ctcp 5:*:*:!
¶!=
string <v1> is not equal to string <v2>
if (<v1> != <v2>) { <commands> }
¶!===
string <v1> is not equal to string <v2> (case-sensitive)
if (<v1> !=== <v2>) { <commands> }
¶$
$ prefix indicates that the matchtext section of a definition contains a regular expression. The 'm' and switches are optional. The // are required. If switches are used they must be standard PCRE switches, otherwise the match will fail. You can use switch 'S' to strip control codes from $1-.
on $*:TEXT:m/regular expression/switches:#:{ echo message: $1- }
¶$!
$!
Returns what was entered in the last $? input request box.
¶$$
$$
$$1 for example means that this command will only be executed if a parameter is specified. If you specify only one parameter in the above command it will not be executed.
¶$&
$& Allows you to break up a single line into multiple lines which are combined when the script is performed.
¶$(...)
$(...)
This identifier can only be used in the text match section of an event definition. It allows you to create a match parameter dynamically. You can use $1- to reference the incoming line.
¶$*
$*
Perfoms a loop through all tokens in $1-. Example: //tokenize 32 a b c d | echo -a $*
¶$+
string1 $+ string2 or $+(n1,...,nN)
Combines all of the specified parameters, the same as using $+ in between each item.
¶$0
$0
Returns the number of space-delimited tokens in the $1- line.
¶$1-
$1-
You can use the $1 $2 ... $N identifiers to refer to individual parameters in a line. You can also use $N- to refer to parameters N and onwards, and $N-M to refer to parameters $N through to $M. So to refer to a whole line, you would use $1-.
¶$?
$?*!="message"
Prompts the user for input and returns the result. The *  makes any text that the user types into the editbox appear as ***** characters to prevent anyone seeing what is being entered. The ! makes a Yes/No dialog pops up. If the user clicks on Yes, $true is returned, otherwise $false is returned.

$?1
Means try to fill this value with parameter one if it exists. If parameter one doesnt exist, ask for it.

¶command line
Command line switches allow you to change the behaviour of mIRC when it is first run. The switches can be used by creating a Windows Shortcut to the mIRC executable and appending the switches to the target filename.
-s<server:port> -j<#chan1,...,#chanN> -p<password> -n<nick1,nick2> -i<filename> -r<path> -noreg -portable
¶Command Prefix
The default standard prefix to a command is a / character, however you can specify another character if the / key is hard to access on your keyboard. Regardless of the character you choose here, mIRC still recognizes the / character and uses it internally.
¶command prefixes
If you are executing a command from the command line ie. by typing it into an editbox, you can force mIRC to evaluate identifiers in that command by prefixing it with two // instead of one /.
The . command prefix will make the command not print out any information. This works on most mIRC commands. In an alias $show can be used to determine if . was used, and /echo -q will not echo when . is used.
The ! command prefix will make ignore any alias you may have for it and use the default mIRC command or dump it to the server, this also will not trigger on input events (except when ctrl+enter is used). mIRC processes the commands in this order: alias -> internal mIRC command -> .chm or .hlp file in mIRC dir -> dump to server.
