Revision as of 13:35, 22 October 2008

Warning: These values may be outdated for mIRC v6.32. Updated and confirmed sections are marked with (Updated)

This page explains various limits imposed by mIRC, however this may not be a complete list. The length is measured in bytes (equivalent to ASCII characters, including spaces.)

You can find the original limits page here.

Variables
(local or global)
4150UnsetThis limit includes the variable's name. Example: using "%a" as a name uses 3 bytes (2 for the name and 1 for a space.)
This means that for every extra character in the variable name, the maximum length of the value is reduced.
Note: the /set command further reduces the length limit to 4144 due to the 4 characters used by "set ". (LLL)
