New Find File Addon

This addon is a new version of the ff alias. What it does is it will attempt to locate the specified file in the directory where you are running mirc, and its subdirectories. If it doesn't find the file there it will attempt to locate the file where your mirc.ini file is located, and its subdirectories. If it still doesn't find the file it will create a variable for the file which will be good if creating a new file. Another thing about this new code is you can find/make a file with spaces in the directory, and/or filename.

alias ff {
  var %getff $1-
  if (!%ff. [ $+ [ " $+ %getff $+ " ] ]) || (!$exists(%ff. [ $+ [ " $+ %getff $+ " ] ])) {
    if ($shortfn($findfile($nofile($mircexe),%getff,1))) set %ff. [ $+ [ " $+ %getff $+ " ] ] $ifmatch
    elseif ($shortfn($findfile($mircdir,%getff,1))) set %ff. [ $+ [ " $+ %getff $+ " ] ] $ifmatch
    else set %ff. [ $+ [ " $+ %getff $+ " ] ] " $+ $nofile($mircexe) $+ %getff $+ "
  }
  return %ff. [ $+ [ " $+ %getff $+ " ] ]
}

Hey Buddy,

 

Hate to be a pest... but does the %getff variable ment to be evaluated?? I just tried your new code, and it doesnt update the variable unless you evaluate the %getff variable when you set it... =)

 

alias ff {
  var %getff = $1-
  if (!%ff. [ $+ [ " $+ [ %getff ] $+ " ] ]) || (!$exists(%ff. [ $+ [ " $+ [ %getff ] $+ " ] ])) {
    if ($shortfn($findfile($nofile($mircexe),%getff,1))) set %ff. [ $+ [ " $+ [ %getff ] $+ " ] ] $ifmatch
    elseif ($shortfn($findfile($mircdir,%getff,1))) set %ff. [ $+ [ " $+ [ %getff ] $+ " ] ] $ifmatch
    else set %ff. [ $+ [ " $+ [ %getff ] $+ " ] ] " $+ $nofile($mircexe) $+ [ %getff ] $+ "
  }
  return %ff. [ $+ [ " $+ [ %getff ] $+ " ] ]
}

 

Thanks buddy, Its a handy little function I feel

 

Kind Regards,

Daniel

Actually it evaluates fine for me, but that extra = sign does the same thing, lol. Thanks, Daniel.
