The /breplace command can be used to replace an ASCII value by another value in a binary variable. Multiple replacements are allowed.

Synopsis

/breplace &binvar <oldvalue> <newvalue> [oldvalue newvalue...]

Switches

None

Parameters

  • <oldvalue> - The old ASCII value to replaced (decimal 0-255)
  • <newvalue> - The new ASCII value to replace the old one (decimal 0-255)

Note: This replaces individual bytes and does not allow replacing multi-byte patterns with new multi-byte patterns.
Note: Bytes are replaced only once, even if the new_value is the old_value for the next old/new pair.
Note: You can have multiple old/new number pairs, and if the count of numbers is an odd number greater than 2, the last unpaired number is ignored.
Note: You cannot breplace within a portion of a binary &string unless you bcopy that section to a &temp where you perform the breplace then bcopy &temp back to the original &string/position.

Example

Alias Example {
  ;Create a binary variable set it to "Hello World"
  bset -t &Example 1 Hello World
 
  ;Replace e (ASCII value 101) with 3 (ASCII value 51)
  breplace &Example 101 51
 
  ;Echo our new string
  echo -a $bvar(&Example,1,$bvar(&Example,0)).text
}

The above example will output:

H3llo World
Note that long strings can be replaced. The replace is on the entire token - not finding the 0 within the 10:
//bset &a 7654321 10 | echo -a $bvar(&a,7654300-) | breplace &a 0 1 | echo -a $bvar(&a,7654300-)
shows the last 22 bytes changing:
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 10
The replacement is not recursive, it does not find the 33's changed to 44's when it changes the existing 44's to 45's
//bset &a 1 33 33 44 44 55 | echo -a $bvar(&a,1-) | breplace &a 33 44 44 45 | echo -a $bvar(&a,1-)
returns: 44 44 45 45 55
The number of from/to byte pairs is an odd number greater than 2, so the last unpaired number is ignored without reporting an error:
//bset &a 1 13 10 13 10 99 | breplace &a 10 13 13 10 99 | echo -a $bvar(&a,1-)
returns: 10 13 10 13 99

Compatibility

Added: mIRC v5.6
Added on: 03 Jun 1999
Note: Unless otherwise stated, this was the date of original functionality.
Further enhancements may have been made in later versions.
