alias help... (easy question)
|
1. Probably easy.... I've got a reply alias. Nothing special, but its what I'm used too, and I'd rather not go old skool... LoL!
| Code: |
| #alias {z} {reply %1} |
Used to be when I type 'z blah blah blah blah blah' zmud would send to the mud 'reply blah blah blah blah blah'. But now, cmud sends 'reply blah'. What am I doing wrong here?
TIA everyone! =D
edit (figured out part 2 of my question, lol) |

I think you can use %-1 as well. |

%-1 is the recommended way to do this. %0 works and will probably continue to work, but eh.

Well, one has a zero, and one has minus one. :P
EDIT: A less fatuous answer: I believe %0 comes from the good old days of TINTIN, which zScript is very loosely based on. %-1 is a new thing, that supports up to %-n, where n is the number of parameters. %0 doesn't do that. |

An example is in order.
Test is the alias name.
Test 1 2 3 4 5 6
%-1 has 1 2 3 4 5 6
%-2 has 2 3 4 5 6
%-3 has 3 4 5 6
etc |
