example demonstrating its use in sockets to retrieve the title of a web page

usage: /socket_example www.google.com

that really depends on preference, I'd rather just right click on a person as opposed to opening a dialog

$r is the same thing as $rand so it should have worked and you should have updated your old code instead of posting a new snippet

you also have a bracket mismatch, line 3 needs a { at the end

this could also be shortened alot by using $str

just because it doesn't go in remotes doesn't mean it isn't a snippet

@phil24 how is this not a "real script"?

@Jethro_ in the original code the optional $2 is the length

posting different ways to make a snippet is not only encouraged but also the purpose of this site.

so here it is...

this doesn't work for me on Win7

when i try to play music i getand when i try to play a video mIRC crashes

"we" could also have meant lllogicTC and ^WeSt

while it's not necessary time.h is a C header file, ctime would be the C++ header

any particular reason why you linked to a spanish page, lol?

you can improve your regex by usinginstead of

better? :p

i didn't think adding -? would have been that hard lol

your regex will fail on !calc -3+4

updated the code you can use the this keyword in place of the text to use the default text that would normally be displayed e.g.and use

/set %array[0][0] could be used to create an array but you wouldn't be able to do anything with it without first having something to parse it with

keys do not have to be integers as in associative arrays where the key can also be a string, however, in mIRC there is no difference between (int)1 and "1" because as you said, there is only one data type so any extra processing of the key value would have to be handled by mIRC and not by the coder

and even though it wouldn't offer much scripting wise, it would still benefit by acting as a starter for more powerful languages like C/C++ which understanding arrays is quite important

@jaytea for multi-dimensional arrays i could see how using variables would be "better" but for basic one dimensional arrays i don't see why you wouldn't use mIRC's built in hash functions which would be faster then variables and wouldn't require this snippet, which in all of his examples this would be the case

regardless actual array support would be something i'd like to see in mirc

edit: this snippet doesn't support multi-dimensional arrays, atleast not that i see from reading the code

you should add a check to see if the connection is still active to break out of the loop

i have absolutely no knowledge of Python so i may be wrong but won't the while loop continue even after you have been disconnected?

why not use hash tables instead of vars? they are the most similar to arrays

I'm not sure what compiler you are using but your code won't work with GCC, you don't have the main function and you don't call any headers

@natar (assuming you've created the respective files)

this is ti-basic not C++

that method works until you need to create passwords dynamically

_Teen_ the purpose of this snippet was never explained so sayin that its for generating passwords for irc use is simply an assumption, and $r(a,z) will only return values a-z and not numbers

that would not be regex, and there are no standards for password types so it doesn't matter what you use unless stated otherwise.

why would you want to msg the chan your password?
