+ | ======Synopsis:====== | ||
+ | [[load]] country | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Description:====== | ||
+ | This script is used for converting between a country's (official) name | ||
+ | and its ISO country code. It can convert in either direction, and can | ||
+ | convert to a country name based on an email address. Everything is | ||
+ | done through a single alias, /country. The basic syntax is: | ||
+ | |||
+ | /country [<switch>] <nickname|country|isometric> | ||
+ | |||
+ | The default behavior is for the script to try to guess what type of | ||
+ | input it has been given. The default is a nickname. If it cannot find | ||
+ | anyone on irc with that nickname, it checks the length of the input. | ||
+ | If it is longer than 3 (three) characters, a country name is assumed. | ||
+ | If all else fails, it tries an isometric code. Several switches are | ||
+ | available to force the client to do a particular type of lookup | ||
+ | (instead of guessing). | ||
+ | |||
+ | ^ Flag ^ Purpose ^ | ||
+ | | -c |assume input is definitely a country name | | ||
+ | | -f |skips userhost lookup used in nickname searches | | ||
+ | | -i |assume input is definitely an ISO code | | ||
+ | | -n |ignored (historical feature) | | ||
+ | |||
+ | For convenience, 2 additional aliases are provided; /lcountry is the | ||
+ | same as /country -c, and /lcode is the same as /country -i. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Other Notes:====== | ||
+ | This script was originally written by Daniel Cedras (TG). It has been | ||
+ | largely rewritten by Jeremy Nelson (hop), [[jnelson@acronet.net]], to take | ||
+ | advantage of EPIC's features. | ||
