Hi there.

Hopefully this makes sense...

As lots of us do, I like to report some things to my group channel.

I thought I could create a database of the different things I want to report and then use the magical
gtell %db(@dbQuotes, quote1)
and all would be fine.

Using ADDKEY I have no problem getting into quote1 "I just leveled!", for example.

Catch is I'm actually sending '%db(@dbQuotes, quote1)' to the channel not 'I just leveled!".

Any thoughts?

put it in an alias for example.

Create a bobtell alias
in it
gtell BLAH BLAH

and i think it might be %item but without actually knowing whether gtell is a real command and some structure on if its a true database or a data record variable im not positive.

Its 4am ill check on this after i wake up.. if its still unanswered ill post a script

Hmm, you're right. It does work out of an alias. Odd, but I can live with it.

Thanks!

To expand it from the command line you would have to do gtell <%db(@dbQuotes, quote1)>
Also you must have allow <> for expansion checked in the prefrences.
