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
