I have a slight problem and not sure how to fix it. I have an alias called look and it is defined as:

#alias look {~look %1}

And I use it such as look 2 tree

Then a class folder called tree is created.

Anyone know how to get around this problem so that Zmud doesn't create a class folder?

Although redundant, that alias is properly written, it should work like you want. Are you sure that's all there is to it? Sounds like a problem you might get when using an alias to create other aliases, or if you typoed when creating the alias.

#alias look {~look %-1}

It wasn't properly coded if he wanted to use LOOK with multiple words.

Well in this instance, if this his full alias (which i doubt because this alias really does nothing since you get that same effect without that alias typing look <whatever> on the command line) it was properly coded since zmud will append any of the remaining text to the end.

This alias will NOT create class folders. Classes are only created when the alias performs zMUD #COMMANDS. Even then, they are only created when the command includes a class field, which is a frequent occurence when you don't control the fields with delimiters.

If you had chosen to share the real alias with us, we could have already told you exactly what the problem is and given you a precise correction.

Thank you. It worked but why do I have to make the parameter %-1?
