The mud I play has the following prompt/room name combo's

* HP:Scratched MV:Full >
A Crowded Cell Area
Room name and then exits

o HP:Scratched MV:Full >
A Crowded Cell Area
Room name and then exits

and then more problematically the prompt and room name can be on the same line when i move quickly

* HP:Scratched MV:Full > A Crowded Cell Area
Room name and then exits

o HP:Scratched MV:Full > A Crowded Cell Area
Room name and then exits

Is there anyway of tagging the prompt so that it'll recognise the room name after it; both when it's on the next line and the same line.

Thanks in advance.

Someone else may have a better answer, but here's a shot. If you have the ability, add a carriage return to your prompt (trying putting n at the end of the prompt). This would guarantee (well, it SHOULD) that the room name won't ever show up on the same line as the prompt. And I think if you did that, the automapper's auto-detection logic would handle the rest. Give it a shot and see if it works.

Ah forgot to mention :( this mud doesn't allow you to modify the prompt at all

Yup I have been struggling with the exact same problem. I have a poor working solution that I explained in the thread I started (also on front page of general forums). Let me know if you find something better please.
