Ok, here is what i want to do, but I've tried so many different ways and it just doesn't work so i'm beginning to think you just can't do it.

Ok, I have a few hundred aliases to speedwalk me to different areas. What I would like to do is be able to use the #prompt command so that i can update the speedwalk associated with an alias. I dunno if that explains it but...let me give an example

say i have an alias
#alias temple {run 2su}
what i would like to do is then have a command where i can go
#prompt temple
and whatever is put in the prompt goes into the temple alias so that if i typed in run 2sd the alias temple would look like
#alias temple {run 2sd}

so is this possible or not?
Thanks

also can we have the option back to be emailed when there is a reply to a topic :P

Well if you remake all aliases to like #alias temple {run [@temple]}
and use #prompt temple
Youd be set :)

This should work.

#PROMPT updatealias "Which speedwalk path do you wish to update at this time?"
#PROMPT updatecommand "What is the speedwalk path to the destination?"
#EXEC {#ALIAS @updatealias {run @updatecommand}}

This will prompt you for two strings. The first being the the actual alias that you use (temple). The second being the path (without the run, just "2sd"). It will then execute the alias command, overwriting the existing alias (in theory).

Fortunately, this can also be used as an easy way to add new speedwalks Smile

Actually, if you make this an alias (update?), you could do it like this.

#PROMPT updatecommand "What is the new speedwalk path to the destination: %1"
#EXEC {#ALIAS %1 {run @updatecommand}}

update temple
2sd
