Examples

We have added Dana to our address book. And can thus use the following:

/echo -a $abook(Dana).info will return DDB v5 - #help.script servicebot by cmouse&k0sm0s
/echo -a $abook(Dana).website will return http://script.quakenet.org/
/echo -a $abook(Dana).note2 will return the second note saved with her

/echo -a $abook(1).nick will return Dana if she is number 1 and/or the only one in the address book.
/echo -a $abook(Dan*,1).nick will return Dana since that is the first address book entry matching the given wildcard.
