Getting the value of a variable into an alias?
|
I have a variable called p1, which captures a string by triggers.
I also have this alias:
#alias makep1 {#alias %1 {embrace;channel 'travel' %expand( @p1)}
...which doesn't work. I get %expand( @p1) in the newly made alias - not the value of p1.
How can I fix this? |

#AL makep1 {#EXEC %expand( #AL %1 {embrace;channel 'travel' @p1})}

When I enter that command, zmud tells me there is a syntax error, but I can't seem to find out why it refuses to accept it. Any ideas?

zMUD isn't as smart as me. Just ignore it and use the command anyway. [}:)]
zMUD thinks there's an error because normally a command isn't allowed inside a function. However, the command works. I tested it several times. Did you try it even once? |

*Cough* Next time I'll just ignore Zmud. Nope - didn't test it until now - works like a charm. Thanx a bunch. :)
