mIRC Commands 2

/exit
Close down mIRC and exit.

/filter [-asdfkwxnpriocteubglLz] [n-n2] [c s] [alias]
This command scans lines of text in a window or file and if any of them contain matchtext, they are written out to another window or file which you can then use.

The infile can be a filename or a window name (custom or normal). The outfile can be a filename or a custom window name. You should specify the -fw switches if the names are ambiguous eg.

/filter -ff in.txt out.txt *mirc*

This indicates that both are filenames, and:

/filter -wf #in.txt #out.txt *help*

indicates that the first is actually a window name, and the second is a filename.

The -a switch sorts filtered lines by calling the optional [alias]. The alias is passed two lines in $1 and $2, it must compare these and return -1, 0, or 1 to indicate relative sort order of these lines to each other.

The -x switch excludes matching lines.
The -n switch prefixes lines with a line number.
The -s switch makes the status window the infile.
The -d switch makes the single message window the infile.
The -p switch wraps the text output in a custom window.
The -r switch specifies the range of lines n to n2 for filtering.
The -b switch strips BURK codes when matching text.
The -g switch indicates that matchtext is a regular expression.

The -z switch retains line colors when filtering between custom windows.

The -k switch indicates that you have specified an as the output instead of a window name. The alias will be called with the result of each filtered line.

The -i switch indicates that you have provided a [dialog id] custom dialog control as the input.
The -o switch indicates that you have provided a [dialog id] custom dialog control as the output.

The -c switch clears the output window/file before writing to it.

The -t switch sorts the output based on [c s], column C using character S as the columns separator
The -e specifies a descending sort, and -u a numeric sort.

The -l switch filters from the side-listbox in the first window, and -L filters to the side-listbox in the second window.

You can filter blank lines by specifying $crlf for the matchtext.

This command also fills the $filtered identifier with the number of matches found, if any.

Note: If the input and output are the same window/file, mIRC will process the request correctly.

/findtext -n
This searches active window for the specified text (same as Control+F).

/flash [-wbrN] [window]
This flashes the specified mIRC window/icon with text in the titlebar but only if mIRC is not the active application.

The -b switch makes mIRC beep every second.
The -w switch makes mIRC play the Flash sound specified in the Event Beeps section.

The -rN switch makes mIRC repeat the flash only N times.

/flushini
Flushes the specified INI file to the hard disk. INI files are cached in memory, so you may want to do this to make sure that your INI is updated properly.

/font [-asgbdz|window]
This allows you to change the font for the current window. If no parameters are specified, the font dialog pops up, otherwise the specified parameters are used. You can make the font bold by using the -b switch.

The -a switch applies the setting to the active window, -s to the status window, and -g to the finger window.

The -d switch makes the font the default for that type of window, eg. for all channels, or all chats.

The -z switch clears all font settings and sets all windows to the specified font. If no font is specified, all windows are set to default font settings.

Note: If you use a negative number for the font size, it will match the size of fonts in the font dialog.

/help [keyword]

/hop [-cn] [#channel] [message]

The -c switch cycles the specified channel by parting and rejoining it.

The -n switch minimizes the channel window.

/join [-inx] <#channel>
This is a standard IRC command for joining a channel.

The -i switch makes you join the channel to which you were last invited.

Note: You can only load one section at a time.
