I know I have done it before a long time ago, but for the life of me, I cannot remember how...

Using zMud 7.21, I want to expand a variable in the #prompt command...something like this:

#var area_name {The Haunted Woods}
#prompt exit_dir "In which direction lies the way out of <@area_name>?"

In the dialog box that the #prompt pops up, I want the text to read: "In which direction lies the way out of The Haunted Woods?"

Any ideas?

TIA

Variables are never expanded within " quotes. You need to use {} instead, like this:

#prompt exit_dir {In which direction lies the way out of @area_name?}

Or, form the string using the %concat function:

#prompt exit_dir %concat("In which direction lies the way out of ",@area_name,"?")
