Inc

This increases the value of %var by value.

/inc [-cszuN] <%var> [value]

Options explained:

uN - increases %var once and unsets it N seconds later.
z  - decreases %var until it reaches zero and then unsets it.
s  - displays action in status window
c  - increases %var once per second.

If no value is given, default value is 1.

Example

The /inc command is commonly used in loops.

var %c = 1
while (%c <= 4)  {
  ; do something
  ; continue, commands etc..
  inc %c
}

Displays %c's values from 1 to 4. More advanced example, just playing around.

alias exam_inc {
  set -s %x 1
  while (%x < 5) {
    inc -s %x
  }
  while (%x > 2) { 
    inc -s %x -1 
  } 
  inc -sz %x 2
}

In the following results the line numbers are added after ;. The results are:

* Set %x to 1  ; 1
* Inc %x to 2  ; 2-5
* Inc %x to 3  ; 2-5
* Inc %x to 4  ; 2-5
* Inc %x to 5  ; 2-5
* Inc %x to 4  ; 6-8
* Inc %x to 3  ; 6-8
* Inc %x to 2  ; 6-8
* Inc %x to 4  ; 9 (notice increase with 2)
* Inc %x to 3  ; 9
* Inc %x to 2  ; 9
* Inc %x to 1  ; 9
* Unset %x     ; 9 (switch z unsets)
