I'm probably asking more than my fair share of questions, but you guys seem to be a wealth of knowledge.

I need to get the channel name from an alias procedure.

I need this info to be able to send to a specific server and channel at a later time from an event.

So two things:...

how do I get the current channel?

how do I send a command to a specific server and channel?

mucho thanks

"how do I get the current channel?"

When you invoke an alias, you are passed the Window Object, so in the window object you have a method called Name. That holds the name of the window or channel you invoke the alias from.

Window.Name


"how do I send a command to a specific server and channel?"
Is this going to be the same server but different channel that the alias was invoked from? Because if so, you are passed the Server object in the alias as well.

So you could do:

code:

   Dim objChan
   Set objChan = Server.ChannelByName("#test")
   objChan.Command "say blah"
   Set objChan = Nothing

no.. it won't be the same server that i'm senging the msg from. I'll be running a script and I might not even be connected to the server, or I might be.. but the active server will be different.


the rest makes sense though.. tahnks

Or, more simply... Server.ChannelByName("#test").Command "say blah"
