| $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 |
