*sigh* - just as I think it'll work... something changes :(

Client: 2.2pre7myc6+

I had a script that was working FINE for ever and ever, using the
following structure to check an internal variable.  I set it earlier
(called 'hush') - I wanna do some functions, based on whether this
variable is set to 'Yes' or 'No'.  Previously, I did it like this:

/^alias bro {
	/if ([$hush]==[YES])
		{	/msg $0 Can't say anything.  Hushed.  ;	
		/assign Ct_Msgs_Sent ${Ct_Msgs_Sent + 1} }
		{	/say $1- 
		/assign Ct_Pub_Sent ${Ct_Pub_Sent + 1} }
}

(I know daemon - i'm still using / statements - so sue me :)

The if structure never runs correctly.  The function always executes the
false condition, no matter what the 'hush' variable is set to.

SOO, could someone tell me the correct syntax for comparing a variable
to another string?  I thought it was:

if ([$varname] == [value])
{ true structure }
{ false structure } 

Thanx for the help!

^alias bro {
	if (hush == [yes])
	{
		msg $0 Can't say anything. Hushed.
		@ Ct_Msgs_Sent = Ct_Msgs_Sent + 1
	}
	{

	}
}

My lawyer will be contacting your lawyer tommorow around 2.

Right..  It is however NOT
	if () 
		{ stuff  ;
		more stuff }
		etc.. 
The syntax is one of the following three..
	if (exp) {true} {false}
	if (exp)
		{true}
		{false}
	if (exp)
	{
		true
	}
	{
		false
	}

Notice the symetry.  The parser still doesn't always get spacing
right and it gets real confused when it doesn't know where one command
begins and another ends.
