$sw

$sw Returns the value of a switch for an alias
Usage
<variant> $sw(<switch_name:string>[,<long_switch_name:string>])
Description
This function is valid and useful only in aliases. It allows an alias to handle switches just like any other KVIrc command. If a switch in the form -<letter> was passed to the current alias then $sw(<letter>) returns 1 (true). If a switch in the form -<letter>=<value> was passed to the current alias then <value> is returned. If the switch was not present at all then this function returns an empty string (that evaluates to false in an expression). A warning is printed if this function is used non-alias code.
Examples

alias(test){
if($sw(a,append)) echo "Switch -a was passed"
%x = $sw(x);
if(%x) echo "Switch -x=%x was passed"
}
test -a
test -x
test --append -x
test -a -x
test -a -x=test
test -a=10 -x=test
