Hey, I know almost nothing about Zmud's script, and just have a simple need(if this is the wrong forum, sorry)

Anyway, here's what I need:

An alias that when I type "say This is my message", it would change it to "emote <extra stuff here> says, 'This is my message'"

Now, this would be very simple if I didn't need the closing quote, but it doesn't look really good without it. So, this would likely need to be parsed somehow? Problem is I really have no idea how to go about doing that.

Any help is appreciated, even if it's a link to some guide(haven't found one yet).

If I understand your question correctly you want to enclose what you have said in apostrophies?

The functions you need to investigate would be %ascii() to determine the appropriate number for displaying an apostrophy and using %char() within your script to display it. As shown bellow:
To find out what the character code number is for an apostrophy type the following on the command lne and hit enter:

#ALIAS say {emote extra stuff here, says '%-1'}

If for whatever reason the quotes aren't working then you can escape them with ~, which would achieve the same as using %ascii

#ALIAS say {emote extra stuff here, says ~'%-1~'}

Ok, so what I was really needing was the %-1, thank you both. :)
