lol... well i didnt delete ur post... i might look suspicious seeing it is my snippet, but i didnt... maybe forum admin?

SHUT UP, Ghost-writer. Get over it!

I believe you can use $regsubex to do a looping instead of /while.

kk

Global variables require a harddrive write/read
local variables are held in ram. Also, by avoiding
set variables as much as possible you 'future proof'
your scripts come the day you wish to run it off a
solid state harddrive or flash memory device. I try
to only use a set global variable if I need to retain
the data across sessions and make it available to all
scripts and connections. Another nice thing about using
local variables is less likely to have variable name
collisions. They only work within that one alias, event,
or menu item. Makes it easy to use single letter variable
names.

gooshie thanks... ill try an avoid it... but its the way i was taught... mirc is so flexible that there actually is no right or wrong way, only slow and fast... in my mind i follow my protocol automatically... its been burnt into my brain, but ill have to change it seems...

thanks again... i learnt basiaccly from coding AOW games... atm i have one of the best ones online... coding an addon for it... POKER inside the actual game... hold thumbs ^_^

C_F try to avoid /set variables.. ive been coding 10+ yrs

Cracker no i dont HAVE to use "|"s ..often i write it the
way the person i am helping does it.. for myself i may use
pipes at time to fit it on one line or reduce the number of
lines.. i try to avoid a vertical scroll bar.. mostly i
just make it easy for me to read.. i seldomly (never) use
comments so however makes it easy for me to figure out if
i have to mess with it in the future.

Uh.. Do you have to use "|"'s? lol

hectic... i need to rethink my way of coding then... how long u been coding? i have only been doing it for a year and 6months now

thanks again

alias showbans2 {
  var %i 1,%n
  while $ibl(#,%i) {
    if $v1 !iswm $read(banned.txt,w,$v1) { %n = %n $v1 }
    if (%i = $ibl(#,0)) || ($numtok(%n,32) = $modespl) {
      mode # $+(-,$str(b,$numtok(%n,32))) %n
      %n = ""
    }
    inc %i
  }
  unset %ntv %askifcheck
}

yeah true... i know my while loops... but only in other scripts i use them something like this

alias showbans2 {
  set %ban1 $ibl(%ntv,0)
  set %x 1
  while %x <= %ban1 {
    if $ibl(%ntv,%x) !iswm $read(banned.txt, w, $ibl(%ntv,%x)) {
      mode %ntv -b $ibl(%ntv,%x)
    }
    inc %x 1
  }
  unset %ntv
  unset %askifcheck
  unset %ban1
  unset %x
}

just an example...
i was just taught how to code a certain way... to me it comes natural to just follow my protocol
thanks again Gooshie

C_F

also eliminates all the unnecessary /set variables
better practice to use while loops instead of goto

wow... never really knew u could make it that short... thanks...
