Try sess.ProcessCommand(%1 + " ~@ROnly instead.

Any details? I assume you ran this code and went "Dammit, it's not supposed to do that!", so what happened? What were you expecting to happen?

Don't remember the ins and outs of jscript, so all I can say is that the cmud parser demands you don't put %1 in double-quotes unless you actually want to use % and 1 as a literal string rather than a variable reference. If you want the variable reference, try using different types of brackets instead--single quotes, curly braces, etc.

in cmud:
>tillxmas gt

@ROnly @G261 @Rdays @Gleft @Runtil @GChristmas@R!@G!@R!@w
That is not a command. Type 'Commands' for a complete list.

because the %1 is not expanded in ""

remove quotes from 1st "%1"...

>tillxmas gt

Error Processing command:
Syntax error [Microsoft JScript compilation error]
%1 == "" ? sess.EchoStr("[1;32m"+days_till+" [1;31mdays [1;32mleft [1;31muntil [1;32mChristmas[1;31m!",15) : sess.ProcessCommand(%1 ~@ROnly ~@G"+days_till+" ~@Rdays ~@Gleft ~@Runtil ~@GChristmas~@R!~@G!~@R!~@w")

you can make a brand new alias... test, set to JScript...

//make a test var from input...
test=%1

>test

Error Processing command:
Syntax error [Microsoft JScript compilation error]
test=%1

even using that same concept... %1 is not expanded

//Show or send to channel...
channel=%1
channel == "" ? sess.EchoStr("[1;32m"+days_till+" [1;31mdays [1;32mleft [1;31muntil [1;32mChristmas[1;31m!",15) : sess.ProcessCommand(channel+"~@ROnly ~@G"+days_till+" ~@Rdays ~@Gleft ~@Runtil ~@GChristmas~@R!~@G!~@R!~@w")

putting single quotes aint enough...
channel=%1

%1 is not expanded

@ROnly @G261 @Rdays @Gleft @Runtil @GChristmas@R!@G!@R!@w
Sorry Ozzy, I don't understand you.

expecting:

gt @ROnly @G261 @Rdays @Gleft @Runtil @GChristmas@R!@G!@R!@w
(Group) Ozzy: 'Only 261 days left until Christmas!!!'

this was in zmud

I've tested, and using "@myvar" works just fine in Jscript on Cmud. Which may indicate a bug, that it cannot handle "%1". Either that, or Jscript requires something other than %1 to represent the first parameter. I've also tried %param1, with no success. It looks like a bug to me.

hrm, guess i can call my Perl/J/VBscript alias from another, define %1 in it, then call it from a var in the Perl/J/VBscript

Ill try it out.

Update:

Use a named argument then you can refer to it by name rather than %1.

for some that might work Taz, but look at my last example, @t1/@t2 ... VBScript expects it's params be in double quotes, i tried single, {}, [], (), <>... none work

the issue is with cmud not parsing between double quotes, it NEEDS to in scripting languages other then zscript

Lets say we were messing about outside of CMUD with a scripting language, what would @t1 mean to it? Not a great deal I suspect.

Ok so now we're messing about inside of CMUD with a scripting language, what does @t1 mean to it? Still not a great deal! However there is a COM object exposed and we can use that instead.

#MSS {MinDiff = DateDiff("n", zvar.t1, zvar.t2)}
min_uptime = %mss( MinDiff)

At a guess you can use zvar.param1 for %1.

i just learned this from someone asking for PerlScript help, $zvar->variable_name

didnt know about zvar.param1 , thanks :)
