Trouble with output of quotation marks.
|
When I think about this problem, it SEEMS like it should be fairly easy to accomplish, yet it is one of the most troublesome ones i have come across so far
I am trying to make an alias that will output this to the mud:
set_short("@roomshort");
where @roomshort is a variable that changes.
The problem I am having is I need to put the ; inside quotes to make it go through, but the quote inside the ()'s that I WANT to actually be sent to the mud do not get sent since the quotes generally don't. Obviously i can't turn parsings off because then the alias won't work period.
Is there a way to get an alias to actually send everything in the above line to the mud, including the current value of the variable? (seems that if i put the variable in quotes, even though it does not send the quote to the mud it only sends @roomshort instead of the variable value) |

Try this.
| Code: |
| #show set_short(%concat("~"",@roomshort,"~";")); |
or
| Code: |
| #show set_short(%concat(%char(34),@roomshort,%char(34),";")); |
|
