This snippet is for returning a file selected by a user. Basically it checks that the text file "C:\Program Files\mIRC\filename.txt" exists and in the event that it doesn't it will create the file. The select file dialog is then displayed and allows the user to select a file, the name of the file selected is written to the created text file and then is returned as a value.

Usage: /select
Example: //echo -a $select

alias select {
  if ($isfile(C:Program FilesmIRCfilename.txt) == $false) {
    var %%% = aline @@@
    window -h @@@
    %%% strComputer="." 
    %%% Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 
    %%% Set objFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile("C:Program FilesmIRCfilename.txt") 
    savebuf @@@ file.vbs 
    window -c @@@ 
    .comopen creation wscript.shell 
    .comclose creation $com(creation,run,3,bstr,wscript file.vbs,uint,5,bool,true) 
    .remove file.vbs 
  }
