/P | page output |
# n= value | create or delete a macro |
A macro is a number sign followed by a number or a name, used as a shortcut for a hostname. To define a macro, specify a value:
apingmacro #42=www.h2g2.com
To delete a macro, omit the value:
apingmacro #42=
You can change more than one macro at a time:
apingmacro #42=www.h2g2.com #1=skynet.cyberdyne.com
You can create a name instead of a number. A valid name begins with a letter;
may contain letters, digits, and underscores; and may be up to ten characters long.
It may not match any of the magic names ROUTER
, GW
,
DNS
, DHCP
, or WINS
; or any of the above
followed by a digit, like DHCP2
.
apingmacro #jp=www.jpsoft.com
To list all your currently defined macros:
apingmacro /L
Once you have defined a macro, you can use it in the
APING
command or the
@PINGTIME
function, just like any
other hostname:
aping #jp
echo %@pingtime[#jp]
Macros are stored in the registry. They will survive unloading the plugin or exiting the shell. Macros are shared across all instances of TCC.
