say Type text in a window |
||||||
Usage |
||||||
say [-x] [-q] [-r=<window_id>] <text:string> |
||||||
Description |
||||||
| This command is more or less equivalent to typing text in the input
bar of the current window. If the -r switch is used
then the command is rebound to the window specified by <window_id>.
The main difference is that the variables and identifiers in <text>
are always parsed (when typing this happen only if the text is a command). The switch -x will make say evaluate and execute arbitrary commands, too: if <text> begins with a slash then it will be treated as a command to be evaluated and executed (after parsing the identifiers etc.). If this happens, the executed command will not be send to the active channel. | ||||||
/say -x /echo foo | ||||||
|
will just print "foo". Please note that using /say -x with a <text> that isn't a constant in the script but comes from some unidentified external source (e.g. the network) is a potential security flaw as it enables anyone to execute arbitrary commands: don't ever do it. When the -x switch is not used, the text is never interpreted as a command. -q causes the command to run quietly. Please note that /say will also trigger the ontextinput event. Handle with care. |
