Is there a command that counts the number of characters, including spaces, for a command or function..etc?

Well theres %len(s) which returns the length of the string s but from your description I am not sure exactly what you are looking for. Could you provide a quick example?

break=%concat( ~|g~|%proper( %1)|w|: |bc|@%1.number |w|~[|c|@%1.name|w|~])
When I do this, it atkes away the [], anyway for it not to? |

I hate it when it does that. Sometimes you just have to fiddle with it until it comes out right. I played around with your string (via local echos) and I think this one might work:
break=%concat( ~|g~|%proper( %1)|w|: |bc|@%1.number |w|<[>|c|@%1.name|w|])
IE surround first bracket with <> and nothing on the second... see if that works |

Hmm, you know I cant make heads or tails of what that concat is actually doing... are you using the pipes (IE |) as seperators? Each item in the concat should be in quotes if needed and use commas instead. Perhaps this is close? Prolly not but ill take a stab at it anyways...
break=%concat("|g|",%proper( %1),"w:bc",@%1.number,"w[c",@%1.name,"w]") |

|g| is a color code, the comma is there to display in the mud, not as a separator, so I used ~ and am just wanting to have the in there too[]

I tried using the "" and comas, but the [] still didn't show

Instead of using gtell @break (or whatever) use %quote(@break)

This is what worked for me but depending on how your using it you might have some problems
| Code: |
break=%concat( ~|g~|%proper( %1)|w|: |bc|@%1.number |w|[|c|@%1.name|w|])
#var break %replaceitem("%char(91)",9,@break)
#var break %replaceitem("%char(93)",13,@break)
#show @break
|
I also got this to work and is more flexible
| Code: |
break=%concat( ~|g~|%proper( %1)|w|: |bc|@%1.number |w|"%char(91)"|c|@%1.name|w|"%char(93)")
#var break @break
#show @break
|
hope you like it |
