VGEcho (command)

Syntax

VGEcho [output parameters]

Description

Echoes directly to your chat window(s), the InnerSpace console, or to a file.

Output Parameters

Output from your VGEcho command can be directed to one of four things: the Innerspace console, the debugger, your chat windows (VG screen), or a file.
Basically, it works similarly to a command shell system:

  • > console
    • directs the output to the Innerspace console
  • > screen
    • directs the output to your chat windows (the VG screen)
  • > [filename]
    • directs the output to a file. This syntax will overwrite any file of the same name that already exists.
  • >> [filename]
    • directs the output to a file. This syntax will append the file you specify with your output.
  • >* [filename]
    • directs the output to a file. This syntax is similar to '>' with the exception of that it makes the file created a READ ONLY file. (ie, once the file is created, the '>' and '>*' operators will fail on that particular file thereafter)
  • > debugger
  • >> debugger
    • Redirect output to the debugger. > and >> have the same effect.
Example: "/vgecho Hello, World > debugger"

(Note: To create a new-line within a file, simply use the '\n' code. To use the '>' symbol in your actual text, use '\\>' instead)

Defaults

  • The default output parameter for this command is to the VG chat windows (screen)
  • The path for created files is the directory where ISXVG.dll is located.

Examples

  • VGEcho ${Me.FName}
