Variables¶
/var¶
Added in 1.8.8
/var [-gnspB] <%var> [[= ]value]
Sets the value of local variable %var to the specified value.
Syntax can be either var %var = value or var %var value.
Multiple variables can be set in one line using comma as separator, var %var1 = value, %var2 = value2.
See also /set, /unset, /inc, /dec, $var.
Switches
| Switch | Description |
| -s | Display variable assignment value. |
| -g | Creates a global variable instead. |
| -n | Treat the value as plain text, even if arithmetic operators are used. |
| -i | Initializes a variable only if it does not already exist as a local or global variable. |
| -p | Permits value to be 2 literal double quotes and permits value to end with a single $chr(32) space. Also enables -n switch behavior. |
| -B | Performs a $calcint calculation instead of regular $calc when arithmetic operators are used. (AdiIRC only) |
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
| <%var> | The variable to set. |
| [ [= ]value ] | Value to set the variable to. (can be a single arithmetic expression) |
Example
alias factorial {
var %result = 1, %x = $1
while (%x) {
var %result = %result * $v1
dec %x
}
return %result
}
;Returns 3628800
//echo -ag $factorial(10)
/vars¶
Added in 1.9.0
/vars
Shows a list of all global variables and their values.
/set¶
Added in 1.8.8
/set [-eklnsuNzgpB] <%var> [value]
Sets the value of %var to the specified value.
See also /var, /unset, /inc, /vars, /dec, $var, Edit Variables.
Switches
| Switch | Description |
| -e | Unset the variable when AdiIRC exits. |
| -k | Keeps the unset time (-u) from a previous command. |
| -l | Creates a local variable instead of global. |
| -n | Treat the value as plain text, even if arithmetic operators are used. |
| -s | Display variable assignment value. |
| -uN | Unsets the variable after N amount of seconds, if N = 0 unset the variable after the script is finished. |
| -z | Decreases the value of the variable by 1/ever second until zero is reached. At zero the variable will be unset. |
| -i | Initializes a variable only if it does not already exist as a local or global variable. |
| -g | Sets a global variable even if a local variable exists. |
| -p | Permits value to be 2 literal double quotes and permits value to end with a single $chr(32) space. Also enables -n switch behavior. |
| -B | Performs a $calcint calculation instead of regular $calc when arithmetic operators are used. (AdiIRC only) |
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
| <%var> | The variable to set. |
| [value] | Value to set the variable to. (can be a single arithmetic expression) |
Example
alias example {
; Create a variable and set a value.
/set %var Countdown:
; Print the value
/echo -a %var
; Set the value to 3, decrease once per second
/set -zs %var 3
}
/unset¶
Added in 1.9.0
/unset [-slg] <%var> [%var..]
Unset local or global variables, local variables take precedence over a global variable with the same name.
Wildcards is allowed.
See also /var, /set, /inc, /dec, /vars, $var, Edit Variables.
Switches
| Switch | Description |
| -s | Prints unset information. |
| -l | Unset local variable(s). |
| -g | Unset global variable(s). |
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
| <%var> | Variable to unset. |
| [%var..] | Additional variables to unset. |
Example
alias example {
;Create and fill a variable with data.
/set %var1 Variable test.
;Print the variable value.
/echo -a %var1
;Unset the variable.
unset %var1
;Print the variable value after unset.
echo -a %var1
}
/unsetall¶
Added in 1.9.3
/unsetall
Unset and removes all variables from the variables list.
$var¶
Added in 1.9.0
$var(%var,[N])
Returns the Nth matching variable name.
Searches both local and global variables, wildcards can be used.
See also /var, /set, /unset, /inc, /dec.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
| %var | Variable to match. |
| [N] | If N = 0, number of matched variables (default), otherwise the Nth match. (optional) |
Properties
| Property | Description |
| .value | The variable value. |
| .local | $true if the variable is a local variable, otherwise $false. |
| .secs | Number of seconds until the variable is unset (if autounset is on). |
| .unset | Number of seconds until the variable is unset (if autounset is on). |
Examples
; Create a variable. /set %Example Hello World ; Print number of variables matching '%Example*'. //echo -ag $var(%Example*, 0) ; Print the name and value from the first match. //echo -ag $var(%Example*, 1) = $var(%Example*, 1).value ; Delete the variable /unset %Example
