Escape character "~" ?
|
I'm trying to send (and having trouble with sending) "newbie ;blink" to the mud. Is there a way to do it without turning off parsing?
If I type "newbie ~;blink", it sends "newbie ~;blink"
If I type "newbie ;blink", it sends "newbie" and "blink"
><
What am I supposed to type? |

I am guessing you'd have to do something like put what you want to be sent in double quotes, so you'd have to type -- "newbie ;blink" -- and it should send exactly that to the mud.

Yes or use the new line escape character which is `
So `newbie ;blink |

I don't think the escape character is working yet. Otherwise your first attempt would have worked Kanonball. As a workaround, either of Strakc' or Taz' suggestions should work.

but its rather strange, that if the ~ is not working, that it was still one line? it should have been newbie ~, new line blink right? so is it that its trying to work, but not working fully?

Not exactly. CMud tries to detect whether you wanted the ; to be used or not... if there is no space before or after the ; and it does not look like proper syntax, it assumes you were using it in a sentence rather than as a separator.
