Template:mIRC menu The /sockwrite command allows you to send data to a TCP socket connection previously opened with /sockopen (See TCP sockets). You can specify a wildcard for the name to send the data to all matching sockets.

When the data has been sent, the on sockwrite event triggers.

Note: if /sockwrite fails, on sockwrite triggers too and $sockerr is set as well as $sock().wserr and $sock().wsmsg.

mIRC will queue your request up to 16384 bytes, you must check how many bytes is the send buffer with $sock().sq before trying to queue on a socket

Note: If the queue is free, i.e. with a first /sockwrite, you can send more that limit, the limit only exist once the queue is filled.

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.
