Something happened to %exec?
|
I used to use this function to give me the text that would be sent to the mud for a certain command. For instance if I used aliases in the command this would be parsed.
%exec(pb corn)
would thus return:
put my corn in my bag
Now it seems this doesn't work anymore. Is the behavior of this function changed deliberately and if so why? |

| Code: |
#ALIAS pb {put my %1 in my bag}
testVar = %exec("pb corn")
#PRINT @testVar
|
Output:
put my corn in my bag
So what exactly does not work? |

Yes, please give us the entire code kjaerhus, together with the expected result and the actual result.

Well, it doesn't work for me. Are you using 2.35?

Perhaps it's just me. I've worked a bit more with it and it seems to do the job somehow, although I am a bit puzzled by some behavior of the function. If anyone knows of any change I'd like to know. Otherwise don't bother about it.

The difference between Kjaerhus' and Arde's is the presence of quotation marks. Putting quotation marks around the text makes it work.

True, although it was just my example that was bad. My code is a bit more complex and I found something else that could explain my experience.
