I'm trying to make a script that will take the exits in a room and put them into a list. The only problem is I can't seem to figure out how to parse out the individual exits. IE:

You see exits leading north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest

I want to make a list that contains all of those exits so that if I need to flee, I can type flee, and it will pick a random direction and go.

Any help would be appreciated

#TRIGGER {You see exits leading (*)} {exitlist = %replace("%1",",","|")}

Just grab everything replace the commas with list seperator | and you have an insta-list

Ok, sweet! Thanks for that. Just one more question. Is there anyway I can use %item(@exitlist,%random(1,@roomcount) to output the actual direction to the mud I'm playing? I've been messing around with it, and it just seems to put in a carriage return when I try and fire the alias.

Make sure you match up your parentheses, results are unpredictable when you don't close them all.
#AL flee {%item( @exitlist, %random( 1, %numitems( @exitlist)))}
