Pattern: * You think your %1 skill has improved. *
Values: #cw 23
#cap skills
#ad %replace( %replace( %replace( "%1", "'", "_"), " ", "_"), "#", "_") 1
%1 @%1
show skills %1 <>

In ZMud, the "%1 @%1" shows skill name and the number of skill improves, ie testing 243

In CMUd, it shows skill name@skill name.

How do I get it to show the data as it does in ZMud?

There are variables stored for each skill as it is first improved.

First, use %concat(). Second, indirect referencing needs brackets now.

%concat(%1," ",@{%1})

Also, %1 might not work in the trigger pattern - it's not actually a valid wildcard. Check out the pattern matching help topic, it lists proper wildcards and you need brackets around them to capture them.

(You also don't need the * before and after the pattern. CMUD will match part-lines and they'll slow down the matching - if you wanted to colour the whole line just use #color.)

Finally, in your innermost nested replace you have %1 in quotes - this makes cmud try to do your replaces on the literal string %1, which obviously isn't what you're after. Remove the quotes to have CMUD substitute the wildcard for you. If you run the compatability report from the tools menu it'll flag common things like this for you.
