Hi,

I have been using Tinyfugue extensively on my Linux box, and was wondering if Zmud has this particular feature that I like about it.

alias score %{*-verbose}

Hitting > score will send "score verbose", while > score brief will send "score brief".

I can do this with an #IF statement in Zmud, yes. But I was wondering if anyone knew of the Zmud equivalent of the elegant script( %{*-verbose} ) above. I can't find it in the manual.

Thanks. :)

I can only think of an if check.

#alias score {~score %if(%numparam()=0,"verbose","%-1")}

Edit changed brief to verbose. Need coffee.

Cool, I didn't know that.

What's the difference between using #IF and %if? I've always used #IF before.

Thanks.

From the helpfiles

%if expression is true, return the true-value otherwise return the false-value.

#if Allows conditional execution. If the expression is true, then the true-command is executed. If the expression is false, then the false-command (which is optional) is executed.

~score %if(%numparam()=0,"verbose","%-1")
%IF Num of params = 0 return score verbose else return score params you typed in after score

Nexela, the two examples you posted seem totally identical to me. :)

How does

#alias score {~score %if(%numparam()=0,"verbose","%-1")}

differ from

#alias score {#if (%1) {~score %-1} {~score verbose}}

... for example. Is there a reason to use one over the other?

Hope you can make something more out of it than quoting helpfiles. ;)

Well I didnt say the other way wouldnt work did I :P I explained the differance between #if and %if
%if Returns something
#if Does something

But but... %if does something too!

No wait, I think I get what you are saying. Neat!

Thanks.
