Anyway of having this search output on IRC if !youtube all the one's I seen don't work.

Never mind found another script Youtube advanced search that does it.

space between else and if (Redundant either way)

Ummm, /youtube but the alias is "yt" so shouldn't the trigger be /yt

also got > * Invalid format: $replace (line 230, script7.mrc)
Which is:

echo -a Searching YouTube for $replace($replace(%ytsearch,$left(%ytsearch,1),$upper($left(%ytsearch,1))),$asc(43),$null $+ ...

else if ($1 == $null) { echo nothing entered, halting | halt }
would look nicer as:

 elseif (!$1) echo -at No query entered.

you should use /var instead of /set so you don't need to unset it
the first 2 if statements are unneeded as $replace($1-,$chr(32),+) will only change the space character and not any other

else if ($1 == $null) { echo nothing entered, halting } { halt }

should be

else if ($1 == $null) { echo nothing entered, halting | halt }

but the halt is redundant.

alias yt {
  var %ytsearch = $replace($1-,$chr(32),+)
  if (%ytsearch) { run http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query= $+ %ytsearch }
  else { echo -a nothing entered, halting }
}

is a simpler way to do it
