/goto
Indice
The /goto command allows you to jump to another part of the code. The goto command can only jump to a label within the same event, alias, or menu. The label must have been parsed by mIRC previously inside that event/alias/menu or the label is considered undefined. Calling a goto on an undefined label will result in a label not found error. Labels can be plain text strings or variables
Note: A goto cannot jump to a label that was skipped earlier in the code.
