Suggestions?
yes, re-write the code in such a way that you don't need to use your idea ;P i gave one example of that and there are many more suitable alternatives depending upon the nature of the overall script
Wait. What if i made the identifier $elseif? mIRC would evaluate it and it would still shorten the code, right?
no, not in the way you want at least. 'elseif' has to appear statically and as the name of the command. you'll discover at some point that short code is not necessarily good code. unfortunately, the pages and pages of explanation about this are buried in various places on this site!
