hrm i have been at this one for a while but with the irc command /dns you can get an ip return on somebodies dns (duh) so i was working with mirc a bit and i decided to make a remote script with this for my bot. i was using the following:
ON 1:TEXT: dns*:#:{ if ($2 == dns) { dns $3- } }

it didnt like that much, it kept displaying the results in the status window. so then i went on some dalnet channel asking about this and somebody gave me the following bit of scripting:
on 1 :DNS:{
if ($iaddress) { echo -a $nick $+ 's Mask $chr(40) $+ $+ $naddress $+ $+ $chr(41) resolved to $iaddress }
else { echo -a $nick $chr(40) $+ $+ $naddress $+ $+ $chr(41) could $chr(2) $+ NOT $+ $chr(2) be resolved }
}

this did not like me much either. can anybody tell me how to go about doing this?

Easy read your help file. Here is the related script.

on 1 :DNS:{
var %n = $dns(0)
echo 4 Found %n addresses
while (%n > 0) {
echo 4 dns: $dns(%n) nick: $dns(%n).nick addr: $dns(%n).addr ip: $dns(%n).ip
dec %n
}
}

I think you can figure it out.

well would this work best as a remote, alias, or a stand alone script?

it has to be done as a remote.

the $dns variable (identifier) is only valid within the "on DNS" remote.

kick ass, thanks man. how does this look:

code:

---

ON 10:TEXT:Zokbot, dns*:#:{ if ($2 == dns) { dns $3- } }
on 1 :DNS:/msg #Zok Resolved: $raddress
on 1  :DNS:{
  var %n = $dns(0)
  echo 4 Found %n addresses
  while (%n > 0) {
    echo 4 dns: $dns(%n) nick: $dns(%n).nick addr: $dns(%n).addr ip: $dns(%n).ip
    dec %n
  }
}

Looks good, you might want to record a %chan variable to be the channel the bot outputs the message into. If you wanted to you could set it in the on TEXT event. %chan = $chan, that way it can send the message to the channel that requested the DNS in the first place.

code:

---

ON 10:TEXT:Zokbot, dns*:#:{ 
  if ($2 == dns) { 
    %chan = $chan
    dns $3- 
  } 
}
on 1  :DNS:/msg %chan Resolved: $raddress
;also you probally want these to send to the  
;channel and not echo.
on 1   :DNS:{
  var %n = $dns(0)
  /msg %chan Found %n addresses
  while (%n > 0) {
    /msg %chan dns: $dns(%n) nick: $dns(%n).nick addr: $dns(%n).addr ip: $dns(%n).ip
    dec %n
  }
}

But what do i know about what you want it to do? Anyways those are some ideas.

damn, that helped even more. thanks.
**gives soullace props**

no problem if you want an explaination i can do that too. I still can't believe i remember this shit, its been over 6 years since i've scripted in that horrible language :]

does the script even have a name asside from mirc script?

ok dispite it not having a name i still have one last quest. Is there any possible way to make a script/alias which will automaticly capitalize the first letter of every sentence and/or put a period at the end? i have been looking for about a week now and cant find it, all i find is bigass scripts and shit to go with them (none of which helps).

"does the script even have a name asside from mirc script?"

Nope, it's just mirc script.

"Is there any possible way to make a script/alias which will automaticly capitalize the first letter of every sentence and/or put a period...."

Well yes and no.

It is possible to trap messages and format them. It is however not possible to supress mirc from printing the message before you have a chance to print it all formatted.

Here is a script to show you what i mean.

code:

---

on 1:TEXT:*:*: {
  %text = $right($1-, $calc($len($1-) - 1))
  %l = $upper($left($1, 1))

  echo -a < $+ $nick $+ > %l $+ %text $+ .

  halt       ;does jack shit since we are called after mirc prints
}

---

Anyways thats something.
