#read and %1 expansion
 
Taken from the help file:
Quote:

READ examples

#REA mud.txt
Read the file mud.txt line by line and execute each line as if you had typed it manually.

#FILE 1 mudlist.txt
#READ 1 10
read the 10th line from the file mudlist.txt

If the 10th line in the file is "kill %1" then
#READ 1 10 "zugg"
will execute the "kill zugg" command.


Did it the exactly same way and my CMUD returns kill 1, instead of kill zugg

Confirmed bug. I tested with 3.33a.

There seems to be something wrong with how the parsing routine handles special characters.

%1 - references don't process properly and abort prematurely. Consider this line 5:

Code:
kill %1 %2 %3

Called by
Code:
#file 1 example.txt
#read 1
temp = "Zugg"
#read 1 5 "Zugg" "cat" "cow"
#close 1


$temp - local variable references prevent the line from being read at all.
Code:
kill $temp

Called by
Code:
$temp = "Zugg"
#read 1 5
#close 1


@temp - normal variable references seem to work.
Code:
kill @temp

Called by
Code:
temp = "Zugg"
#read 1 5
#close 1

Yep, confirmed. I don't think this has ever worked in any version of CMUD. This was a feature that zMUD had, but since CMUD went to compiled scripts, the #READ command isn't able to handle the %nn expansion.

There isn't any way that Local variables will ever work with this though. But I'll add support for the %n arguments to the wish-list for a future version. Till then I might just change the help file.
