$& is a construct which allows you to break up long, single script lines in order to make editing and reading them much easier.
Note: $& can touch the end of your line and still be valid, see the example
Synopsis[edit]
$&
Parameters[edit]
None
Examples[edit]
An alias that breaks up a long echo into multiple lines
alias testit { echo -a This is a really long$& line that is broken up because $& mIRC supports it! The cool thing is $& that mIRC will also format these $& indentations within the script editor! }
Create an alias that has a code block similar to a programming language
alias testit { if ($me isin $+(Hello, $me,! How are you?)) $& { echo -a This code block resembles some popular programming languages. } }
Note: Non-spaces are not permitted following it on the same line, and this reports there is no such identifier (unless you create a custom identifier named '&')
//echo -a foo $& bar
