Hello everyone,,
So I'm trying to find the best way to store party data for variable/trigger usage in cMUD. Party info lines come in two forms:

| * F Cliff | 2138/2138 | 2839/2839 | 1022/1022 | 45419 |
and

|Cliff | HP: 2138/2138 | SP: 2839/2839 | EP: 1022/1022 |
I'd like to capture a database titled "party", then have a positional notifier for party order number, then subset values of that positional. For example, party.1.name = cliff, party.1.hp = 2138, etc

I've been easily able to get proper regex to capture the variables but I'm not sure how to properly nest things into my DB variable such that I can accomplish what I'm after. If it's not possible with a single database, I could be willing to do something like party.1 = cliff, cliff.hp = 2138, but that seems clunky.

What's the best way to accomplish this that you've found?

Sorry about the ambiguous title, realized it sucked right after I posted.

It's all about the setters and getters.

$this=%db(@party, 1)
#ADDKEY $this Name %1
#ADDKEY $this HP %2
#ADDKEY party 1 $this
#SAY @party.1.Name
#SAY %db(%db(@party, 1), Name)
