Help loading mirc scripts

I've downloaded a pack of scripts for mirc. 359 of them to be exact. I
had these scripts loaded before my computer crashed, and I recall that
I loaded them manually one by one by doing /load -rs boos.mrc
(boos.mrc is just an example). I would really prefer to not go through
that again; is there any way to load multiple mirc scripts in one
command? I've tried /load -rs *.mrc, and I've gone into scripts
editor, pressed File > Load, but it only allows me to select one file
at a time.

I can only think of two things:

* Open a command prompt, navigate into the folder which has all these
scripts, and use:

     dir /b

Copy and paste that into Excel at A2. Then at A1 type /load -rs. Then
select the little box at the bottom right and drag it down. This will
extend the series of data to however long you make it. Then export
that as a text file. Open it up in Notepad, remove any delimiters like
commas, then copy and paste it into mirc.

The text file should look something like:

/load -rs c:/scripts/one.mrc
/load -rs c:/scripts/two.mrc
/load -rs c:/scripts/three.mrc

#####

Secondly, you could try making an alias of it, the same as above, but
using this format:

     alias myscripts {
     load -rs scripts/script1.mrc
     load -rs scripts/script2.mrc
     load -rs scripts/script3.mrc
     }


Then

     /myscripts load

Both of those ideas sound genius. I'll report back once I've tried it.

edit: Excel trick worked! Thank you sir

Unrelated to your question, but blindly loading 300+ scripts is a
terrible, terrible idea. Never load scripts you don't know exactly
what it does, they can do anything (including execute remote code)
without your permission.

Yeah I know. I've had every one of these scripts loaded before though,
so I was sure they would be safe.
