#Alias
This feature was added to the EL client a little while ago by Alvie. This is a short tutorial written by Minion07 and editted to fit in wiki.
#alias lets you save something you type a lot. e.g. instead of typing #gm Hello All! , you could just type #1.
To alias something, type:
#alias <number> <message>
where <number> is 0-99
Then to use the alias:
#<number>
e.g. #alias 1 #gm Hello World #1
would say #gm Hello World.
To remove aliases, type:
#unalias <number>
e.g. #unalias 1
would remove the alias we created earlier.
You can list all the aliases you have made by typing #aliases.
Advanced Features: arguments
You can also create aliases that accept arguments. For example, if you often advertise in the market " I'm selling Life Essences @ 4 gc each pm me for details (not a bot) ". You could alias the text so that it allows any item:
#alias 1 @@3 I'm selling $0 @ $1 gc each pm me for details (not a bot)
Then to send your advert :
#1 "Life Essence" 4
or to advertise Fox Fur @ 5 gc (for example)
#1 "Fox Fur" 5
Note: the arguments are space separated so if you want 2 words to be 1 argument, use set of double quotes ("").
Finally, the aliases are recursive so, continuing the advert example, if you had an advert you sent all the time, you could do:
#alias 2 #1 "Life Essence" 4
then typing #2 would send: @@3 I'm selling Life Essences @ 4 gc each pm me for details (not a bot)
If you don't pass enough arguments as required, an error will be shown
Text alias requires parameters, but none given
Extra arguments are ignored silently without an error.
