Go look through some other scripts, and what people use to see if the message is /something. Also, look for some scritps that submit paramaters.

This sounds like you want a map data structure. JScript should have enough support to use one, even if you have to write it yourself.

Edit: The post below is what you want, f'sure ;) Since a map can be implemented as an associative array.

RE: External Variable
you can't create new variables on the fly with jscript afaik but you could do this with an associative array.

code:
var my_vars= new Array()

function setValue(name,data){
my_vars[name]=data;
}


note that you can assign a value to an item in the array without declaring that item.
