Scripting question (dynamic variables)
reddit / irc

So I am brand spanking new to irc scripting and was unable to find the
answer via google. I am using a dynamic variable like an array in the
way that its %yada.1 etc and keeping track of the total I add to cycle
through later. Is there something like foreach (php) loops that I can
just cycle through the dynamic variable without needing to know
%yada.1 the index .1 etc? What I would like to do is use the nicks of
people as the dynamic variable after the . and that would allow me to
unset if needed without going through the whole loop and checking if
its there. Maybe there is a better way to do this and I just haven't
found it yet. Thanks!

Edit: mSl

You need to specify what language are you using - mSl or what.

$var(%yada.*,0) - total number
$var(%yada.*,1) - first one

I think I explained it pretty pooly, let me try again. As of now I
have it setup to to yada.1 etc and I can successfully go back through
them one by one. What I am looking to do is something like %yada.nick
and I am wondering if I can then cycle through them without the index
being numbers (1 2 3) etc. php has http://php.net/manual/en/control-
structures.foreach.php which will loop through the array regardless if
the index are numbers in succession (1 2 3). Does mSl have something
like that or am I stuck naming them %yada.1 %yada.2 and them going
through them all everytime I want to check if a value is currently in
there.

What I am trying to do is add everyone who joins to %yada via %yada.1
%yada.2 etc. If they leave I want to unset them from there but without
knowing the index I would have to sort through them all. I am
wondering if I named them yada.nick could I still cycle through the
array one index at a time even though its not .1 .2 etc.

I am terrible at trying to explain this but I very much do appreciate
you taking the time!

$var(%yada.*,1) will return %yada.whatever if you have at least one
matching "%yada.*". At least check mIRC help about $var.

reddit removed \* after . - $var(%yada.\*,0)
