$chan Identifier - mIRC
< mirc‎ | identifiers

The $chan identifier is filled during events which trigger on a channel.

The $chan identifier can also be used to get information regarding a specific channel the local mIRC client is in.

$chan[(@wid/#/N).property]

Parameters[edit]

(@wid/#/N)The window id of the channel, a specific channel, or a channel number referencing the channel.

Examples[edit]

Create an alias that opens a custom @window which loads some basic information about the active channel:

alias getDetails {
  if ($active ischan) {
  var %c = $active
    window @getDetails 350 350 650 200
    clear @getDetails
    echo @getDetails Channel: %c
    echo @getDetails $crlf $crlf
    echo @getDetails Topic: $chan(%c).topic
    echo @getDetails $crlf $crlf
    echo @getDetails Modes: $chan(%c).mode
    echo @getDetails $crlf $crlf
    echo @getDetails Key: $iif($chan(%c).key,$v1,No key set)
  }
}

This custom alias can now be executed using the following command in a channel command-line:

/getDetails

The results of this command will look similar to the results below:
