Zugg Software :: View topic - diplay text menu of aliases in any given folder

Wanderer Joined: 31 Oct 2004 Posts: 94

I would like to create a script that will automatically display all the aliases in any given class. Lets say there is a class called lothlorien which has three aliases in it.. loth2edoras loth2rhosgobel and loth2thranduil.

I'd like the menu to look something like this:

Alias Command
-------------------------------------------------------------
loth2edoras do 10e, 40s, 5e, 5s
loth2rhosgobel do 10e, 40n, 4n, 4e
loth2thranduils do 50e, 30n, 10e, 3n

anyways, I have no idea at all how to approach this, and i'd appreciate any help or feedback. Thanks

This is doable, but somewhat complex. Start by reading here http://www.zuggsoft.com/page.php?file=zmud/comserve.htm

What you will have to do is loop through the classes to find the correct number then loop through the aliases to find those that are in that class. As you do that loop you can record thier commands for your display. This can be made somewhat easier then the example at the bottom of the page by using the %session Predefined Variable.
