So why not use somethind "bad" if it works when the original doesn't? @Possum

My computer says “Add this track to your playlist” to the channel if I use “eq” but with “==” it says what I’m playing and when not playing it echos me “Nothing playing!”.

So why not use somethind “bad” if it works when the original doesn’t?

Using == is BAD for strings. Comparing any two strings with == will return true. If you don't believe me, try <code>perl -e 'print "true\n" if ("Add this track to your playlist" == "hi")'</code> That said, if you have the same script I downloaded, changing it to == should NEVER work, but will only print "Nothing playing!" every time you use the command. @Salminen

I don't know if this feature has something to do with different perl versions. “Add this track to your playlist” part doesn’t work with “eq” on my computer, changed it to “==” and now it works.
