using variables in pathnames
|
I cannot figure out how to do this, any advice welcome.
I have a defined path:
Name: path1
Value: 5ej2e
Now I want to dinamically run this path using a variable:
Name: runpath
Value:
#VAR varpath %concat(.,path,%1)
#send (@varpath)
This doesnt work however.
What I want is that when I use 'runpath 1' CMUD sends .5ej2e to the mud
I also tried
.{@varpath}
#exec @varpath
to no avail |

paths can be named. No need for a variable, just #send .mypath or whatever is the proper method (not sure if paths will expand in a #SEND, but they should).

Thanks for the answer MattLofton, but its not entirely what I am looking for.
The idea is that I could dynamically call a path.
Now I only have path1, but the purpose is to have many more, path2, path3, ...
I could of course put a
#switch (%1=1) {.path1} (%1=2) {.path2} ...
but I hoped for another way |

$path=%concat(%exec(.path1),%exec(.%1))
#forall $path {#send %i}
This is untested as I am at work. Also I am not sure exactly what you want. I haven't read the other thread. |

This worked for me:
| Code: |
#PATH path1 {.5ej2e}
#alias runpath {#EXEC %concat(".",%1)}
runpath path1 |
You need to make sure you have the English Directions package loaded. If you just try to test this in the default "untitled" session, it won't work because English Directions isn't loaded. But if you create a new session that has English Directions in the list of loaded packages, then it works fine. |
