| + | ======Synopsis:====== | ||
| + | $__builtin_expando__(<expando name>) | ||
| + | |||
| + | ======Technical:====== | ||
| + | * If the <expando name> argument is omitted the empty string is returned. | ||
| + | * If the inline expando <expando name> does not exist, the empty string is returned. | ||
| + | * This function returns the value that would be returned by the "inline expando" $<expando name>. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ======Practical:====== | ||
| + | The [[special vars|inline expandos]] ($A, $B, $C, etc) can be overridden by | ||
| + | user variables (eg, /assign A testing). If you need to call the underline | ||
| + | inline expando and to be sure that you won't be thwarted by an assign alias, | ||
| + | then you can call this function to invoke the inline expando. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ======Example:====== | ||
| + | <file> | ||
| + | $builtin_expando(N) returns your current nickname | ||
| + | $builtin_expando(C) returns the current channel of the current window | ||
| + | </file> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ======Returns:====== | ||
| + | The value of the inline expando $<expando name> | ||
