_Added in 1.8.8_
*/set [-eklnsuNzgpB] <%var> [value]*
Sets the value of %var to the specified value.
_See also [[/var]], [[/unset]], [[/dec]], [[/inc]]._
*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 Operators|arithmetic expression]])
