I see.. :o

Thanks for that.

lol

Not really lol... as I said, "I cannot help it." I used to make that grammatical mistake back when I took my English class and was corrected by my professor. What Atr posted brought back my memory of that faithful school day. :p

wow Jethro_
ever thought about being an english teacher?

Nice going with regex, thelmrac.

Really nice work Thelmrac :)

I got bored so I did a regex version =)

just change %n to w/e

alias msg {
  var %n = 40,%c = $1, %m = $2-
  while ($regex(%m,/^(?=.{ $+ %n $+ ,})(.{0, $+ %n $+ })[^$\w](.*)$/)) {
    msg %c $regml(1)
    %m = $regml(2)
  }
  msg %c %m
}

Atr,> @sunslayer, 'twas a joke between Plornt & I. ;)Between is a preposition. In English, a preposition must be followed by an indirect object pronoun. Me is an indirect object pronoun, and I is a subject pronoun. Therefore, between has to be followed by me, not I.

I can't help but point out the difference. :P

@sunslayer, 'twas a joke between Plornt & I. ;)

Btw, do my eyes deceive me? Plornt, you're using the $eval variable method! :D

It cuts off because you have the outer if -- else conditions and then inside the while loop you have an if with no else so the remainder of that drops through the last "> 452 if" is lost without being sent to the channel.
You should be able to fix it by removing the outer if else and just letting the script message the remaining text when it drops out of the while loop.

alias msg {
  var %channel $1, %x 1, %msgnum 1
  tokenize 32 $2-
  while (%x <= $0) {
    if ($len($($+($,%msgnum,-,%x),2)) > 452) {
      msg %channel $($+($,%msgnum,-,$calc(%x - 1)),2)
      var %msgnum %x
    }
    inc %x
  }
  msg %channel $($+($,%msgnum,-,$calc(%x - 1)),2)
}

@Atr using pipes takes mIRC longer to parse and makes the code in general alot harder to read and shouldn't be used in excess

yea thats the exact problem i did encounter with mine, but i never had a need for this type of script, so that really didnt bother me lmao.

Ah nice script, and ill add in the improvements in a bit, i was going to do mine like that, infact i did at one point do mine like that, then i realised it was cutting into words so i thought if i make it do the last word it can fit etc

instead of piping several "vars" just use ","

var %a = 1, %b = 2, %c = 3
and even then i dont think the "="'s are needed.

why 452? i think different servers use different limits.

an alias/identifier, would be nice
example:

alias msg.limit return 452

then in script, you can do $msg.limit
and people can edit that alias/identifier as they wish.

oh also, in your description, you should add that the usage is
$chan
and i may be wrong but there is no need to tokensize, since your outgoing msg is already tokened by spaces.

heres a version of this i wrote a while ago

alias check.len {
  var %aa = $1-
  if ($len(%aa) <= 250) { msg $chan %aa }
  else {
    var %a = 250, %b = $len(%aa)
    while (%a <= %b) {
      msg $chan $iif(%a == 250,$left(%aa,%a),$right($left(%aa,%a),$calc(%a - 250)))
      if (%a < %b && $calc(250 + %a) > %b) { msg $chan $right(%aa,$calc(%b - %a)) | halt }
      else { inc %a 250 }
    }
  }
}      

Oh look I can pipe the script to make it look smaller:

alias msg {
if ($len($2-) > 466) { var %channel $1 | tokenize 32 $2- | var %tot $0 | var %x 1 | var %msgnum 1 | while (%x <= %tot) { if ($len($($+($,%msgnum,-,%x),2)) > 466) { msg %channel $($+($,%msgnum,-,$calc(%x - 1)),2) | var %msgnum %x } | inc %x } } | else msg $1- }

Sorry, couldn't resist. Anywho, nice work Plornt.

Hang on, fail
Fixed.
