2 Questions: Fine Tuning
 
I'm using the below to remove characters, it looks awfully long.

Can i fine tune it?
-----------------------------
questmob=%1
questmob=%replace(@questmob,"a ","")
questmob=%replace(@questmob,"A ","")
questmob=%replace(@questmob,"an ","")
questmob=%replace(@questmob,"An ","")
questmob=%replace(@questmob,"the ","")
questmob=%replace(@questmob,"The ","")
-----------------------------------------

Below is a trigger that is suppose to tell my my quest time remain every 1 minute. However i noticed once the loop is started, I don't know how to get it stopped. I tried turning it's class folder off, however it still continues to #loop for %1 times.

#loop %1 {#Wait 60000;#add questtime -1;#SHOW %ansi(white)Quest Time remaining: @questtime

questmob=%1
questmob=%replace(%lower( @questmob),"a ","")
questmob=%replace(%lower( @questmob),"an ","")
questmob=%replace(%lower( @questmob),"the ","")

Don't use #WAIT in triggers. Zugg has an article in the Support Library section explaining why. I'd recommend using a permanent alarm which can be enabled/disabled with #T+/#T-.
#ALARM questtimer -60 {#ADD questtime -1;#SHOW %ansi(white)Quest Time remaining: @questtime;#IF (@questtime <= 0) {#T- questtimer}} {} {disable}

And change the trigger to something like:
#VAR questtime %1;#T+ questtimer
