The aline command is used to add a single line of text to a custom window. This command is limited to custom @windows, If you need a more general command that is able to print to both custom windows, channel, and query consider using the /echo command instead.

Note: If the main window is sorted (text or listbox and /window -s has been used), lines added with /echo to that window won't be sorted, only lines added with /aline will.

Synopsis

/aline -sahpinl [c] <@name> <text>

Switches

• -s - Clears the old selection in a listbox and selects the newly added item
• -a - Selects the newly added item while keeping the old selection in a listbox
• -h - Highlights the window's node in the treebar/switchbar is the window is minimized
• -p - Forces the line to be wrapped if it's too long to fit in on one line (does not apply to listboxes)
• -i - Indent the newly added line (does not apply to listboxes)
• -n - Prevent the line from being added if it already exists
• -l - Specify the action to take place on the side-listbox
