A question. Are there a way to search the vars in a folder?

Like I have a folder named chars..and the vars are i.e:

Char1
char2
char3
char4
and so on..

Now, This is an character publisher. Meaning I want to be able to type:
addchar Thepersonschar Thepersosnsotherchar etc.

Ok, now I want it to automatically add the names to the last vars NUMBER in this case char4
so it will make a variable with the name char5 and with the Thepersonchar Thepersonsotherchar etc in it.

Ok that's the first thing.. Second thing

I want to be able to type

'char xxx' and it will search all the charX in the folder chars for the person I am searching for. When it finds it, I want it to display
it. Ex

var3 Corleidum Otherchar Morechar lastchar

AND
One final thing if possible, any possible way to add a name to an already existing var? THOUGH!!!! It has to search for the var.
So if I type addchar corleidum NEWCHAR
It will search for the var where corleidum is in it, and add newchar.

If this is not possible, any easy way to make a charfinder?

Where it adds peoples chars when I type addchar xxx xx xx xxx xx
and then when i type charinfo xxx it will find the person and display all of his chars?

#AL addchar {#IF %iskey( @char, %1) {#ADDI char.%1 {%2}} {#ADDK char {%1} {%2}}}
#AL showalts {#IF %iskey( @char, %1) {#SAY %1 %expandlist( %db( @char, %1), ", ")}}

Usage:
addchar primaryname altname
showalts primaryname

Personally I do my best not to let anyone know who my alts are or even whether I have any. It only makes it more difficult to play them as separate characters. I also make no effort to track other people's alts. If they are good friends, and I happen to learn their alts, I won't have any difficulty remembering. If they aren't, there isn't any reason for me to care.

well for me it's really good to know who people alts are. Anyways. The thing you gave me only works if you make a find for the first in the varlist. No other way to make it search the ENTIRE variable? Like

I did addchar corleidum lightbulb zugg.
Typed showalts corleidum. It worked
Show alts lightbulb/zugg didn't work. That means I have to keep track of who's the first in line. Anyway to search the etnire variable for a name then displaying?

#AL addchar {
#IF %iskey( @char, %1) {#ADDI char.%1 {%2}} {#ADDK char {%1} {%2}}
#IF %iskey( @char, %2) {#ADDI char.%2 {%1}} {#ADDK char {%2} {%1}}
}

The alias is designed for two parameters. That's ONE primary name and ONE alt name, not THREE names.
