I'm trying to capture a room name, Store it in a variable, Then relay the info to clannies.

The problem I have is storing it to a variable.

Here is an example of a scrye attempt:

cast scrye mordrek
Shadow Thieves Commons [SAFE]
You appear to be in a large, dimly lit cavern. The ground is
lightly covered in white sand, and huge torches cast long shadows
along the walls. In the center of the room, a large granite podium
rises from the ground, bearing the seal of the Shadow Thieves. Secret
tunnels and passageways lead out in every direction from the Commons,
helping the Thieves to complete their daily routines and missions.

[Exits: down] [Doors: none]
An azure blue healing aura floats here, welcoming the weary Shadow Thief.
[..C.........] A black Jaguar paces defensively around its master.
[..C.........] A cave bear sits here awating its masters command.
[...T........] Mordrek |- is here.
Vysmund. is here.

<Align:-101 QCurrent:0 QNext:0><Shrine of Talos><U>

So I am trying to capture the first line:
Shadow Thieves Commons [SAFE]
and store it into a variable, Which I can then say or channel to others.

Can anyone help me with this? Thank you.

Do all your room names have a [stuff] at the end?

No, Not necessarily.

What I had originally planned on doing was trying a capture to automatically capture the first line after I typed my alias, Then storing it into a variable. I don't know how to do that, However.

Multistate oninput trigger might do it. very basic example

#ONINPUT {^cast scrye (*)} {cast scrye %1}
#COND {^(*)} {Roomname="%1"}

It doesn't appear to work.

When I try to type each line seperatley, The #COND line does nothing.

When I try to put the #COND in the #ONINPUT trigger, It captures the name of the person I'm scrying and puts it into the variable ROOMNAME.

Any suggestions?
