Wildcards in alias names or #oninput syntax
|
I'm looking for a way to gag the original input when a #oninput trigger is activated, or to set up wild cards in aliases. By this what I mean is, if I have a trigger:
| Code: |
| #oninput {^mh-(%w)$} {#exe %db(@MH_DB, %1)} |
I'd like it to send just the exe command, and not the original typed command. Alternatively, an alias that did the same thing would be fine. I've experiemented with #gag, #sub, etc..I can't seem to get it right. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot :) |

Do you have to type something of the form {^mh-(%w)$}? Is typing something like {^mh (%w)$} not OK? If it is OK then you can just make "mh" an alias, and %1 is the 1st argument you give to the mh alias. I expect you know this though!

Nods I do know... the problem is I've got about 8000 aliases (mostly speedwalks) all in that format... XX-XX. After years of having this style of settings, it's incredibally tough to break the typing habit.. but it's been an issue for a long time that my settings file is too big because of this, and I'm looking for a way to condense it. Since the aliases are used in a sort of speed competition, I don't really want to change it all if it's avoidable.

Use #SUB instead of #EXEC with your #ONINPUT triggers.

The problem is, I'm trying to link an alias out of the database.. (there's a command on the MUD, "run" which makes speedwalking faster. Run is also an alias for me, sent as ~run, which updates mapper location). Using #sub just sends a parsed output to the mud... how do I sub it into an executed alias?

Using just your run command in the trigger will also do the substitute. Failing that, you can use #GAG to cause the original text to not be sent then use use your command.
