Adds an item to an existing hash table.
/hadd -smbczuN <name> <item> [data | &binvar]
The -m switch makes /hadd create the hash table if it doesn't already exist.
The -uN switch unsets the item after N seconds.
The -b indicates that you're adding a &binvar item to the hash table.
The -c switch chops the &binvar up to the first null value and treats it as plain text.
The -z switch decreases hash item once per second until it reaches zero and then unsets it.
Note that if the item you're adding already exists, the old item is replaced.
Example
hadd -m users Dana $address(Dana,5)
This example will, if it doesn't already exist, make a new hashtable called "users" and add Dana as item and Dana's address as value to it.
The next, more complex example, will add all users, who are currently in #help.script and their addresses to a hashtable called users.
; make a new hashtable called users hmake users var %i = 1 ; begin to loop through all users in #help.script while (%i <= $nick(#help.script,0)) { ; actually add it to the hashtable hadd users $nick(#help.script,%i) $address($nick(#help.script,%i),5) ; increase looping-variable inc %i }
Be sure that your IAL is up-to-date, if not, execute /who #help.script before.
