Identifiers

 

Identifiers return specific values, eg. $time would return the current time. Whenever mIRC finds an identifier in a command or script, it replaces it with the current value of that identifier. Many identifiers also perform actions on data that you supply and then return a result.

 

Identifiers that cannot be evaluated or evaluate to no value return the value $null. The $null value can be used in comparisons in if-then-else statements to control branching etc. You can also place identifiers or variables inside the brackets of other identifiers and they will be evaluated.

 

The identifiers are organized by groups as follows:

 

File and Directory Identifiers

Nick and Address Identifiers

Text and Number Identifiers

Time and Date Identifiers

Token Identifiers

Window Identifiers

Other Identifiers

 

There are also special identifiers for Remote Scripts, as well as for many other script-related features.
