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
-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
<%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, /dec, $var.
Switches
-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
<%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, $var.
Switches
-s - Prints unset information.
-l - Unset local variable(s).
-g - Unset global variable(s).
Parameters
<%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
%var - Variable to match.
[N] - If N = 0, number of matched variables (default), otherwise the Nth match. (optional)
Properties
.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
