The /sockwrite command allows you to send data to a TCP socket connection previously opened with /sockopen (See TCP sockets).

Note: if /sockwrite fails, it sets $sock().wserr to the error value, and triggers on sockwrite with $sockerr set etc.

Synopsis

/sockwrite -bnt <name> [numbytes] <text|%var|&binvar>

Switches

• -b - Indicates that you are specifying the numbytes value which is the number of bytes you want send, the full line is sent otherwise
• -n - Appens a $crlf to the line being sent if it's not a &binvar or if does not already end with a $crlf
• -t - Forces mIRC to send anything beginning with a & as plain text

Parameters

• <name> - The sockname name.
• [numbytes] - If -b has been specified, indicates the number of bytes you want to send.
• <text|%var|&binvar> - The message you want to send, can be a binary variable.
