Bit of a complicated one, but here goes..

I have an alias "add" which will add whatever follows it to a list of afflictions if it's not on there already. For example, "add deaf" would add "deaf" to my current afflictions, and so on. Conversely, "rem" will remove whatever follows it from the list.

Okay, so far so good -- however, the MUD I'm on includes some basic affliction idicators at the end of its prompt, as in the following example...

H:231 M:339 E:1056 W:1596 <eb d>

The "d" at the end of the prompt would indicate deafness, so naturally I'd want this triggered with the value "add deaf" as mentioned above.

And this is where the problems start.
My prompt trigger is as follows...

H:&currenthealth M:&currentmana E:&currentendurance W:&currentwillpower ~<(?)(?)?(?)(?)(?)(?)~>

... and amongst its value is the line...

#IF (%7=d) {add deaf} {rem deaf}

And it doesn't work. As far as I can see it -should- work, but doesn't.
Bit stuck on this one so I'd really appreciate any suggestions.

There have been Many posted examples of how to do this, a quick search would help!

as a quick breakdown

#TR {~<(*)>} {
#IF %pos("d","%1") {add deaf} {rem deaf}
}

Ah, thank you. You're right, I should have searched for that before posting - I guess hours of wrestling with the script had left me a little frazzled. Thanks again.
