I think I've found a problem I can't solve on my own. *grins*

I have string list variables for each online player that holds both their race and guild.
eg Myddrun = Elf|Wizard (but this could be any combination of race and guild)

I also have lists of names contained in variables for each race and guild.
eg

Elf: name1|name2|name3|Myddrun
Wizard: name4|name5|Myddrun|name6

What I'm trying to do is delete a player that logs out from their coresponding race and guild lists.

In psuedo code speak

make another string list containing all the varnames for race/guild

#TR { (%w) leaves the Realms of the Dragon} {#FORALL @varNameList {#DELITEM %i %1}}

Hehe, trust me to make life complicated. That's a far more elegant solution!

Thanks Shalimar!

Actually, now that i see you have a var for each player as well you could change that to:
#FORALL @{%1} {#DELITEM %i %1}

It's a moot point now as I've already changed my code :)

I'll continue tol use your first suggestion as it ultimately cuts down the number of variables I have to store. Thanks any way though.
