$mask

Returns address with a mask specified by type.

$mask(address,type)

The available types are:

• 0: *!user@host
• 1: *!*user@host
• 2: *!*@host
• 3: *!*user@*.host
• 4: *!*@*.host
• 5: nick!user@host
• 6: nick!*user@host
• 7: nick!*@host
• 8: nick!*user@*.host
• 9: nick!*@*.host

You can also specify a type of 10 to 19 which correspond to masks 0 to 9, but instead of using a * wildcard to replace portions of the host, mIRC uses ? wildcards to replace the numbers in the address.

Example

$mask(Dana!dana@staff.quakenet.org,1) 

Returns *!*dana@staff.quakenet.org.

$mask(Dana!dana@staff.quakenet.org,2)

Returns *!*@staff.quakenet.org.
