*/set [-eklnsuNzgp] <%var> [value]*

Sets the value of %var to the specified value.

*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.

[value] - Value to set the variable to. (can be a single [[Arithmetic Operators|arithmetic expression]])
