here is the line that comes in:




Obvious exits:


Guest Quarters  Common Sleeping Area  Stairs Down

my trigger




#TRIGGER {^Obvious exits:} {#sub {~<color ~#845382~>Obvious exits:~</color~>}}


#COND {^(*)$} {


#var exits %replace( %1, "  ", "~</send~> ~<send~>")


exits = %concat( "~<send~>", @exits, "~</send~>")


#sub @exits} {within|param=1}

and the output it produces:




Obvious exits:


<send>Guest Quarters</send> <send>Common Sleeping Area</send> <send>Stairs Down</send>

I'm trying to get each of the exits to be a a link, so i can click&walk. all of the substitution seems to be working correctly, the output line looks just as it should, except for the fact that the <send> and </send>'s are displayed as plain text. I have mxp enabled. Is it because <send> is a secure mxp tag? that shouldn't be because the <a> tag can be substituted in with no problem... any ideas why its not working?

Try removing the ~'s before each < and >. With #SUB you need them because it is parsing the arguments, but with %replace and %concat you are using a literal string (enclosed in double quotes) which prevents the parsing fo <>'s.

in the above script there is #COND, I can't find that statement anywhere in the online help?

That command is used to add a new state to the last trigger created. Since this command was added after 6.16 and the online help file is up to date for 6.16, it doesn't appear there. However, it does appear in the help file for 6.40 and you can also read about it in this document posted by Zugg in the Library.

What version are you using?

6.53
substituting the <a> tag worked in this version...

anyway, i worked around the problem by gagging the line that triggered the second state and using #mxp command to display the @exits variable. This worked A-ok, but it would be nice to get substitute to work, so i can add mxp tags without redrawing the entire line (in different cases than this one).
thanks for the help

You can try adding this at the start of the line when substituting:
%char(27)~[1z
