By now, you should have a pretty good idea of what variables are and how to use them. Now, all you need to be able to do is operate on them. That's exactly what mIRC Operators lets you do. Operators are special symbols or keywords that perform specific operations on two or three operands in mIRC.

Pretty great post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted efbcbbfbfedebebd

Math Comparison Operators

Math Comparison operators allow you to compare two values

Syntax	Name	Result
%x == %y	Equal	True, if %x is equal to %y.
%x != %y	Not equal	True, if %x is not equal to %y.
%x < %y	Less than	True, if %x is strictly less than %y.
%x > %y	Greater than	True, if %x is strictly greater than %y.
%x <= %y	Less than or equal to	True, if %x is less than or equal to %y.
%x >= %y	Greater than or equal to	True, if %x is greater than or equal to %y.
%x // %y	Multiple Of (Divides)	True, if %x divides %y.
%x \\ %y	Not Multiple Of (Not Divides)	True, if %x does not divides %y.
%x & %y	Bitwise And	True, if (bit representation of) %x AND %y is a none zero.

Example:

alias example2 {
  ;true (3 a multiple of 9)
  if (3 // 9) echo yes!
  ;false
  if (4 < 4) echo no
  ;00001010 = 10
  ;00000100 = 4
  ;00000000 = 0
  ;true, we used the '!' to negate the operator
  if (10 !& 4) echo yes
}

String Comparison Operators

mIRC provides a set of operators that can be used to compare two strings. The two iswm and iswmcs operators support two wildcard characters as well, the question mark (?) substitutes for any one character and the asterisk character ("*") substitutes for any zero or more characters.

Example:

alias example3 {
  var %x = Hello!
  if (?ell?? iswm %x) echo true
  ;false, because of '!'
  if (%x isalpha) echo no
  %x = 5
  if (%x isnum 1-10) echo true
  if (%x isnum)  echo true
}

Operators

Syntax	Name	Result
%x isin %y	Is In	True, if %x is fully found inside %y.
%x isincs %y	Is In (case sensitive)	True, if %x is fully found inside (case sensitive) %y.
%x iswm %y	Wildcard Matching	True, if wildcard string %x matches %y.
%x iswmcs %y	Wildcard Matching (case sensitive)	True, if wildcard string %x matches (case sensitive) %y.
%x isnum %x isnum N %x isnum N- %x isnum N-M	Is Digit Is Digit, Equal to Is Digit, Greater than or equal to Is Digit, in Range	True, if %x is a number True, if %x is number N True, if %x is number N or greater True, if %x is a number between N and M (inclusively)
%x isletter %x isletter N	Is a Letter Is a Letter In A List	True, if %x is a letter True, if %x is a letter in a list of letters
%x isalnum	Alphanumeric Characters	True, if %x contains only alphabetic or numeric characters.
%x isalpha	Alphabetic Characters	True, if %x contains only alphabetic characters.
%x islower	All lower case letters	True, if %x contains only lower case letters.
%x isupper	All upper case letters	True, if %x contains only upper case letters.

Lexicographical String Comparison Operators

A lexicographical comparison is a comparison generally used to sort words alphabetically in dictionaries and indexes. If both strings are equal but one is shorter than the other, the shorter string is lexicographically less than the longer one.

Syntax	Name	Result
a == b	Case insensitive character comparison	True, if character a is equal to character b, case insensitive.
a === b	Case sensitive character comparison	True, if character a is equal to character b, case sensitive.
str1 == str2	Case insensitive String comparison	True, if str1 equals str2 in a case insensitive manner.
str1 === str2	Case sensitive String comparison	True, if str1 equals str2 in a case sensitive manner.
a < b	Lexicographically Less Than	True, if the $asc(a) comes before $asc(b)
a > b	Lexicographically Greater Than	True, if the $asc(a) comes after $asc(b)
str1 < str2	Lexicographically Less Than	True, if str1 comes before str2
str1 > str2	Lexicographically Greater Than	True, if str1 comes after str2

Logical Operators

In an if statement, you are allowed to have more than one condition. Each condition has to be connected to the other using a logical operator. There are two logical operators: || meaning OR and && meaning AND.

For example:

if ((%x < 0) || (%x >  10)) {

In the if statement above, %x has to be less than 0 OR greater than 10 to make the if statement be true.

if ((%input isupper) && ($len(%input) < 10)) {

The if statement above will only be true if %a contains only upper case letters and its total length is less than 10.

Short-circuit evaluation

mIRC will only evaluate as much of the condition has it needs. Consider the AND example from above, if %input doesn't contain only upper case letters, the second condition will never even evaluate. This is important to keep in mind when using custom identifiers inside an if statement.

Channel-related Operators

mIRC also provides a set of commands to involve IRC channels.

Syntax	Name	Result
%x ison %y	Is On	True, if nick %x is on channel %y.
%x isop %y	Is an Operator	True, if nick %x is an operators on channel %y.
%x ishop %y	Is a Halfop	True, if nick %x is a halfop on channel %y.
%x isvoice %y	Is a Voice	True, if nick %x is a voice on channel %y.
%x isreg %y	Is a Regular	True, if nick %x is a regular user on channel %y.
%x ischan	Is a Channel	True, if channel %x is a channel you are on.
%x isban %y	Is a ban	True, if ban address %x is a ban on channel %y. (taken from IBL)

Example:

alias example4 {
  ;am I on #mIRC
  if (#mIRC ischan) echo yes
  ;is that ban on #mSL's internal ban list?
  if (*!*@example.com isban #offTopic) echo yes
  ;am I an OP on #mIRC?
  if ($me isop #mIRC) echo yes
}

List-related Operators

mIRC has 5 additional operators to check mIRC internal lists.

%x isprotect
%x isprotect %y || In Protect List
In Protect List For Chan || True, if host %x is in the protect list.
True, if host %x is in the protect list for channel %y.

Syntax	Name	Result
%x isaop %x isaop %y	In Auto-Op List In Auto-Op List For Chan	True, if host %x is in the auto-op list. True, if host %x is in the auto-op list for channel %y.
%x isavoice %x isavoice %y	In Auto-Voice List In Auto-Voice List For Chan	True, if host %x is in the auto-voice list. True, if host %x is in the auto-voice list for channel %y.
%x isignore %x isignore %y	In Ignore List In Ignore List For Type	True, if host %x is in the ignore list. True, if host %x is in the ignore list for type %y.
%x isnotify	In Notify List	True, if host %x is in the notify list.

Example:

Alias example5 {
  ;is the host in the auto-op list
  if (dave101!*@* isaop) echo yes
 
  ;assume we have ignore all ctcps: /ignore -tw *!*@*
  ;check if *!*@* in the ignore list for CTCPs:
  if (*!*@* isignore ctcp) echo yes
}
