Hi again,

I need a little help removing unwanted text from a variable and turning all the items into a stringlist. I know I need to use %replace but I'm having trouble with the syntax.

Sample mud output:

You are carrying:
the sword, the axe, the chest, the beef and the book.

What I want to do is put all the items into a string list, and remove all occurences of "the" and "and" and all spaces and punctuation.

So far I have:

Trigger:
^You are carrying~:$(*).$

Pattern:
#VAR carry "";#ADDITEM carry %line

Should the #additem bit look something like this?

#additem carry %replace( %replace( %replace( %replace( %line), " ", "|"), "the", ""), ",", ""), "and", "")

Please, Someone tell me where I'm going wrong.

#ADDITEM is for adding individual (non-duplicate) items one at a time. You want to start with the entire line, then remove things from the variable. Therefore, #ADDITEM isn't appropriate.

#TR {^You are carrying~:$(*).} {#VAR carry {%replace( %replace( "%1", ",", ""), " ", "|")};#DELITEM carry the;#DELI carry and;#DELI carry a;#DELI carry an}
