README.md

This plugin allows the user to create various aliases to other commands or combinations of other commands (via nested commands). It is a good idea to always quote the commands that are being aliased so that any nested commands are not immediately run.

Basic usage

Add an alias, trout, which expects a word as an argument

@alias add trout “action slaps $1 with a large trout” jamessan: The operation succeeded. @trout me * bot slaps me with a large trout

Add an alias, lastfm, which expects a last.fm user and replies with their recently played items.

@alias add lastfm “rss [format concat http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/user/ [format concat [urlquote $1] /recenttracks.rss]]”

Note that if the nested commands being aliased hadnt been quoted, then those commands would have been run immediately, and @lastfm would always reply with the same information, the result of those commands.
