Hi DM,

In the strings from text.dat, I know you can use @EXEC:..@ to have it run a JS or Baja module, but is there a way to have it directly execute a block of JS code instead of executing a file?  In my most recent update to DDMsgReader, it replaces the AreYouThere string with an empty string so that the contents of the screen aren't affected, but I was also thinking of having it execute some JS code so that I'd have some more control on where the string is displayed, etc.  I could have it execute a separate .js with @EXEC@, but I'm not sure I'd want to add a separate .js just for that. I'm wondering if there's a way to have it directly execute a block of JS code when used with bbs.replace_text()?

Not exactly as @-codes are pretty restrictive as to the contents (e.g. no space characters), so it'be pretty hard to put a code block within an @-code. One possibility is to define a JS property with a getter function and then you can invoke that getter function with the JS:propname @-code: https://wiki.synchro.net/custom:atcodes#external_content
