Editing mirc/identifiers/$

{{mirc title|$ Identifier}}
The ''$'' character is a reference point for all identifiers, and some operations. ''$'' is usually followed by any number of built-in mIRC identifier names, with which there are hundreds of properties to choose from.

==Examples As Identifier==
Some examples of the ''$'' used as an identifier include the following:

<syntaxhighlight lang="mIRC">
$dialog(mydialog).title
</syntaxhighlight>
: ''Retrieves the title for the specified dialog.''
<syntaxhighlight lang="mIRC">
$1
</syntaxhighlight>
: ''Grabs the first word from an event, such as an {{mirc|on events}}.''


$() itself is an valid identifier working just like {{mIRC|$eval}}

==Examples As Operation==
The ''$'' can also precede some characters and words in order to perform a specific operation, such as concatenating characters, or groups of characters, together. Below are a few examples:

<syntaxhighlight lang="mIRC">
alias testme {
  var %myvar1 = Join m, %myvar2 = e with this, %join = %myvar1 $+ %myvar2
  echo -a %join
}
</syntaxhighlight>
: ''This will join the two variables, resulting in the output: "Join me with this" being displayed to the active window in an echo.''

<syntaxhighlight lang="mIRC">
alias testme {
  echo -a $calc(33 * 77)
}
</syntaxhighlight>
: ''This will multiply "33" & "77" and output the results to the active screen.''


==Others==
There are just too many identifiers and operators that deal with ''$'' to cover here. Refer to the [[List of identifiers - mIRC|identifier's index]] for a more thorough and complete list.
