Scripting language embedded in mIRC

The mIRC scripting language (often unofficially abbreviated to "mSL") is the scripting language embedded in mIRC and Adiirc, IRC clients for Windows but work with WiNE for Linux.

Light channel and personal protection against many types of attacks (flooding, spamming, takeovers, etc.). Dialog windows can be created in mIRC to better serve user compatibility; rather than everything in popup menus. Popular mIRC dialog extensions include MDX (mIRC Dialog Extension) and DCX (Dialog Control Extension). There are also a few versions of mdx. dll and dcx. dll modded by IRC hackers. Bots that provide automated IRC channel management, trivia or other games, and other desired functions for chatters. Commands that save typing or otherwise simplify life on IRC (such as automatically identifying as the owner of a nickname). Proxy CONNECT servers (www. mslscript. com) and Bounce servers (https://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/ZNC) to replace some mSL scripting with faster code and convenient features.

Scripts are stored as either plain text files, usually with a mrc file extension, or as INI files. They, however, can be stored with any extension. Multiple script files can be loaded at one time, although in some cases, one script will conflict with another and cause one or both of them to no longer work properly. The order in which in the script files are loaded may make a difference if the script functions properly or not. A (un)loader script MUST be used for semi large scripts to function as intended.

mIRC scripting language uses its own nomenclature to refer to language constructs. (However, whilst this can be a little confusing to newcomers, they do not impact on the functionality of mSL.) Built in functions are termed commands or, if they return a value, identifiers. Custom scripted functions are called aliases. Aliases that return a value are known as custom identifiers. Both are called from the command line or other parts of a script in the same ways as built in commands and identifiers (and can even supersede them). Popups are scripted context menu items. Popups are called when they are selected by the user. The term originally referred to the menus—which pop up upon a right click. It is still used this way in the manual. Remotes are event handling scripts. Remotes are called when the event they handle occurs. All variables are dynamically typed. Hash tables are available for larger data storage; arrays are not. mIRC scripts make use of sigils. Identifiers (whether custom or built in) are preceded by $, binary variables are preceded by &, and other variables (whether local or global) are preceded by %. Commands and aliases are not preceded by any particular character (although when entered from a window's command line they must be preceded by the command prefix, usually /).

Scripting parser supports a maximum of 8,292 (950 prior to mIRC 6.32) characters per line (not including newlines or indentation). Strings are not syntactically enclosed, creating ambiguities in code where characters meant as literal strings are treated as part of the language's syntax. Each line of code is broken down into a set of space delimited tokens. As mIRC's parser does not support null tokens and the language doesn't provide a syntax to clearly differentiate literal strings from code; Prior to mIRC version 6.2 it was impossible to pass multiple consecutive spaces to any command or alias. However, this was fixed with the introduction of the returnex command which allows the preservation of spaces.
