The ialmark command marks the IAL entry for a nickname with the specified text with an optional alternate name for the mark. In effect, it's like a hashtable for each nick where each item must have a string attached to it
Synopsis
/ialmark [-nrw] <nickname> [text]
Switches
- -n - the [name] of the mark. If -n is not used, the default name 'default' is used.
- -r - removes the mark
- -w - used with -rn to treat name as wildcard
Marks can be accessed using $ialmark(nick,N/name) and properties 'name' and 'mark'. Marks are removed if the nick is removed from the nicklist, either from no longer being in a channel with them, or by /ialclear or by being disconnected from that server. You cannot have a named-mark without it having a value. The mark does follow the nick to the new nick after a nick change.
Parameters
- <nickname> - The nickname you want to mark
- [text] - The text you want to add. If not specified, the mark is cleared
Example
;If the nick Ouims is in the $ial, marks the nick Ouims with the named-mark 'default' containing the text 'test' /ialmark Ouims test ;If you are in the $ial, adds a mark to your nick named 'foo' containing the text 'bar' //ialmark -n $me foo bar ;Remove the named-mark 'default' (any parameters after the nick are ignored) //ialmark -r $me foo bar ;Remove the named-mark 'foo' //ialmark -rn $me foo ;removes all named wildcard mark names beginning with 'f' //ialmark -rnw $me f* ;removes all named wildcard marks beginning with 'd' including the default 'default' ;informs whether the named-mark 'default' exists, and if so whether it contains a mark value //ialmark $me ;informs whether the named-mark 'foo' exists, and if so whether it contains a mark value //ialmark $me foo
