Nickname Wildcard

By Freckle on Dec 13, 2007

With this script you can make it return the nickname matching your search.

Example:

someone types: !kick Freck pwned
And the script has this:

.kick $chan $nick.s($2,$chan) $3

It will return the full nickname
or return if there are too many
if ($nick.s($2,$chan) == manymatch)

or it returns there is no match
if ($nick.s($2,$chan) == nomatch

alias nick.s {
if ($isid == $false) { halt }
  unset %match
  %count = 1
  while (%count <= $nick($2,0)) {
    if (* $+ $1 $+ * iswm $nick($2,%count) && %match) { return manymatch | break | halt }
    if (* $+ $1 $+ * iswm $nick($2,%count)) { %match = $nick($2,%count) }
    inc %count
  }
  if (!%match) { return nomatch }
  if (%match) { return %match }
}

Ya but will it halt the loop and continue what\'s after while or will it halt the script also

Question:

if ( $+ $1 $+ iswm $nick($2,%count) && %match) { return manymatch | break | halt }

Do I need to put the halt behind the break or will the break halt the rest too?

Nope, /break will halt the loop.

Else it would continue looping till the end

Ya I heard about the $fline stuff. But never got into it.

I see. It looks a bit better now, but you don\'t really need the loop. You can just use mIRC\'s $fline:

alias nick.s { 
  if ($fline($2,$+(*,$1,*),2,1)) return manymatch
  elseif ($fline($2,$+(*,$1,*),1,1)) return match
  else return nomatch
}

Ya I forgot to remove the \"echo -a\"
I don\'t use /var a lot, easier for me to debug.

@the code: Instead of using %count = 1 you could use /var. Also, the process of echoing each nick through the loop is very irritating. ;)
