| Hi. I'm trying with various regular expressions but I can't figure this out.
I'm trying to make an alias so when I type
cs whatever text here
it sends to the client
clansay whatever text here
I tried using an alias cs * and the command to send clansay %* but its not working.
Any help would be great. Thank you. | | Top |

| Hi and thanks!
So, in the mud I play on if I type:
clansay Good morning everyone.
That would say Good morning everyone in the clan channel.
I'd like to only have to type:
cs Good morning everyone.
So, in the Alias: section I used:
cs *
in the Send: section I placed the following:
clansay %*
I also tried %?
I've tried checking and unchecking the regular expression box also.
I can only get the alias to say those characters %? and %* and not the text Good morning everyone. I hope I'm not confusing you. Thanks for your time. | | Top |

Yes it does. It talks about _exactly_ what you are trying to do.
From the linked page:
Quote:
Now let's make an alias that takes a variable parameter. For example, say when fighting we often need to kick our opponent. Rather than typing "kick kobold" all the time, it would be quicker to type "k kobold". The word "kobold" will vary, so we want to make that a "wildcard"...

clansay %*
I also tried %?
The only question I can ask here is why did you try those things? |

| Thanks again fiendish but that still doesn't answer my question.
I've got more than one word after the aliased word.
I need to send my aliased word plus everything else after it.
In response to your second question...I tried those things because %1 would be used to address the first token after an aliases command, %2 the second and so forth. I thought adding a * wildcard or ? after the % would work but it didn't.

Yes it does.

(globbing is what you get when the regular expression box is _not_ checked)

There is only one token in the glob pattern "cs *" (the * is the token). Therefore %1 is everything after the cs.

Yes, but you haven't responded to my request to post your alias.

Please follow that link and do what it says. Just "describing" what you did is no substitute for actually showing what you did. |

| Fiendish. Using %1 worked when I unchecked regular expression. I was thinking I had to use a regular expression because I was trying all sorts of stuff after the %.
Thanks for pounding me in the noggin over and over.
And thank you too Nick for taking time for such a noob question. | | Top |
