Template:mIRC menu The /sockmark command assigns temporary data to a socket to be referenced later using $sock(<name>).mark. Leaving the [temp data] parameter $null will clear the socket mark. The sockmark command can be used to assign the same data to multiple sockets using a <wild_name> wildcard pattern.

Limitations

The [temp data] is limited to (4,141 - [length of <sock_name>]) characters. I.e. with a socket named "x", you can store up to 4140 characters.

Synopsis

/sockmark <name> [temp data]
/sockmark <wild_name> [temp data]

Switches

None

Parameters

• <name> - The handle name of the socket
• <wild_name> - A wildcard pattern to match
• [temp data] - The temporary socket's data

Example

The example below is a demonstration of how you would use it. It does not actually function.

; Non-functioning example, shows practical usage only
on $*:text:/^!foo (\S+)$/Si:#:{
  ; if ( .. validate input .. ) {
  sockopen sock1 www.example.com 80
  sockmark sock1 $regml(1)
}
on *:sockopen:sock1:{
  ; submit the information we got from the user 
  sockwrite -nt $sockname GET /foobar.php?q= $+ sock($sockname).mark HTTP/1.0
  sockwrite -nt $sockname Host: www.example.com
  sockwrite -nt $sockname $crlf
}
; on *:sockread:sock1: {
;    ....
; }
