Want to catch semicolons and change them to apostrophes, if possible
|
Ok, I have this HORRIBLE typo problem, I hit ; when I mean to hit ' all the time, for years and years.
I'm wondering if there is a way to have the script do something like this:
Alias: Chat, replace ; with '
IE. "This is a chat message, do NOT use the semicolon, replace with with a apostrophe."
Yes, I know I can change the seperator character in "Special Characters", but that breaks hundreds of aliases and triggers, and the mud still uses semicolons as return codes.
Any useful suggestions would be VERY appreciated, thank you. |

#ALIAS chatter {chat %replace(%0, ";", "'")}

that replaces the character, but it still acts like a return.
Thanks for the attempt tho :) |

you could just quote out the semicolon ~;
also, you could turn off the command line evaluation by clicking the computer symbol near the clock |

That doesn't help if he's doing it accidentally though, shalimar. Short of changing the character to separate commands, I don't think there's a way to do what you want.

Try this:
| Code: |
| #ONINPUT {chat (*)} {#NOINPUT;#SENDRAW {chat %replace(%1,";","'")}} |

Trying to figure out why this post was moved from Zmud to Cmud.
Sorry for the troubles, it's a Zmud problem for me. |

It wasn't moved from zMUD to CMUD. I just mistakenly thought it was CMUD.
I believe the correct way to replicate my above script in zMUD would be:
| Code: |
| #ONINPUT {chat (*)} {#GAG;#SEND {~chat %replace(%1,";","'")}} |
I don't have zMUD installed on this laptop, but let me know if that works. If not, I'll figure something out. |

Odd... because when I looked at it, it clearly said zMUD at the time...

Does not appear to work. Semicolon acts as it normally does.

My apologies. I acted too quickly and didn't notice the "thanks, this works great!" wasn't from the OP. We're back where we belong now.
