In my mud I am able to predict peoples future and its given to me in a vision, What I want is to beable to have a script that will tell the people what I say, but say it to them, not as I see it....

I want an alias that starts is pred
When I run it it will take %1 and save it as @PredictName

Then when I get the prediction it will switch some words around and read it back to them

This is an example of a prediction

After a few moments, the mists of time begin to part.
You see Etrina eviscerating a yi latagi.
You see snow falling upon a high, stony mountain.
You see a full Xibar, shining high in the night sky.
A sudden feeling of warmth pervades your soul.
You sense the visions involve using light blunt weapons.

I want it to be say this to them...

I know this should be fairly easy, prolly having it trigger on AFTER A FEW MOMENTS, that will be the same with every prediction. Then capture each line into maybe a string list...then change the Yous to I's and the person's name to You's....but I am not sure on all that. ANy help would be great.
The only thing that is the same with all predictions is the first line

In reference to just the replace and say part, can #SUB and #SEND be used for this? For example, would

#SUB You I
#TRIG {^(*).$} {#SEND %1}

replace each 'You' with 'I', capture all the text, and send it to the MUD with all the changes?

Scornme, you need to use #PSUB to substitute You for I in a line. #SUB will substitute the entire matchine line with I. Secondly, if "You" occurs twice in a line, it'll only Substitute the first occurence.
