checking a character to a range of characters
 
i have an alias named test with the value:

#if ("%1" =~ "[abcd]") {#show %1 is in range} {#show %1 is not in range}

why does test a and test A will always result to in range?

The answer is obvious, isn't it? zMUD ignores case in this comparison. Add a separate test for case.
#IF ("%1" =~ "[abcd]" AND "%1" = %lower("%1")) {#SHOW %1 is in range} {#SHOW %1 is not in range}

If this were for a trigger instead of an alias, you could probably just enable the Case option.
