ERC custom IRC /command

ERC custom IRC /command

[Emanuel Berg]

How can I make a custom ERC IRC command,
e.g. /r which is unbound in ERC Version 5.3
(GNU Emacs 24.4.1) - how can I bind that to an
Elisp defun?

TIA

By defining a function using the "erc-cmd-" prefix,
e.g. using your example command "/r": erc-cmd-R

(defun erc-cmd-R ()
  ;; If you want to send something to the server you could use
  ;; erc-send-message or erc-message, depending on what
  ;; exactly you intend to do.
  ...
  nil)

A look into the ERC manual would have pointed you in the right
direction. The feature is named under [1] and [2] even contains an
example of it's use.

Using a search engine of your choice to search for "emacs erc custom
command" would also have helped you.

I sense a touch of antagonism/irritation in
your reply, and FTR I did Google it with no
result, but maybe it is just you having a bad
day, or me having one and thus reading in stuff
that isn't there.

But regardless of whatever, in terms of
technology, thanks a lot for an
exemplary answer!

It certainly was not meant that way.

I merely wanted to empower you to find such easily obtainable
information by yourself in the future.
Sadly ERC is documented very badly and if you want to do anything
serious with it you have to take a look into it's source code.
But this particular problem is one which is documented decently,
compared to other parts of ERC.
