Im looking to replace spaces with an underscore....heres the situation:
In my current MUD, my race has a speech mod, for when I enter text.

I type:
'I hate this speech mod

Mud shows this:
You quickly say 'Ihatethisspeechmod.'

Basically, I want to replace the spaces with and underscore, like this:

I type:
'I hate this speech mod

zMUD sends:
'I_hate_this_speech_mod

Mud then shows this:
You quickly say 'I_hate_this_speech_mod.'

I have tried using %replace and #SUB, but with no success...any help would be appreciated.

*How* have you tried %replace?

(should work, methinks)

How about:

#alias s {say %replace( %-1, " ", "_")}

commands like "s hello goodbye 1 2 3 4 5" will be picked up by the alias and the mud will get "say hello_goodbye_1_2_3_4_5"

The %-1 argument to an alias tells it to use the rest of the line.

Tested 6.37a, it should work in 6.16.

I have tried this:

#TRIGGER {'(*)} {#send %replace( %1, %s, _}

I have also tried to use the same thing with an alias.

OK, one last thing...when I use a comma it cuts the sentance off after it

Use "%-1" instead of %-1 in the replace. You'll still get caught by the semicolons, though- is that a problem?

Since you're using a function (%replace), commas get interpreted as the end of a function parameter. To avoid this, use delimiters.

#alias s {say %replace( {%-1}, " ", "_")}
