Can anybody help me rewrite this old zmud trigger to work with cmud

Pattern:
^({@SkillChecks/SkillListing}):%s({@SkillChecks/SkillRanks}).

Script:
tSkillName=%replace( %replace( %1, ">", ""))
tSkillName=%replace( %replace( %replace( %replace( %trim( @tSkillName), " ", "_"), "-", "_"), "#", "_"), "'", "_")
tSkillLevel=%replace( %replace( %replace( %replace( %replace( %trim( %2), " ", "_"), "-", "_"), "#", "_"), ">", "_"), "'", "_")
#IF (@{@tSkillLevel} > @{@tSkillName}) {
#ST @tSkillName @{@tSkillName}
#VAR @tSkillName @{@tSkillLevel}
}
#SUB {%format( "&26s &40s &8.0f", @tskillname, @tskilllevel, @{@tskillname})}
#math total_skill_points @total_skill_points+@{@tskillname}

I know at some point I should throw this away and use a database to store this stuff, but I don't know how to work with database that well in CMUD just yet.

Get rid of all those nasty %replaces and replace (haha) them with %subchar(%trim(%2)," -#'>","_____") for the level and %subchar(%trim(%2)," -#'>","____") for the name. Note the number of underscores - characters without a replacement character are deleted.

I can't spot any glaring errors - my suspicion, if it's not working, is that it's something to do with the indirection, perhaps your #var @tSkillName line. Unfortunately, I can't check right now - no access to CMUD - but I will this evening unless someone beats me.

Thanks Fang, I got it working now.

Corrected version:

SkillChecks/SkillPoints/tSkillName=%subchar(%trim(%1)," -#'>","_____")
SkillChecks/SkillPoints/tSkillLevel=%subchar(%trim(%2)," -#'>","_____")
#IF (@{@tSkillLevel} > @{@tSkillName}) {
#SH changing @tSkillName from @{@tSkillName} to @{@tSkillLevel}
#var @tSkillName @{@tSkillLevel} {_nodef} {SkillChecks|SkillCountVariables}
}
#SUB {%format( "&26s &40s &8.0f", @tskillname, @tskilllevel, @{@tskillname})}

Oh, did #ST change?

I believe it used to replace any existing status bar, but now everytime a #ST is executes it creates a new status bar object and I end up with tons of them.

Yeah, it did. You need to specify an id now (see the #status help file for that) so that it's always the same entry that's overwritten. Perhaps an easier way, though, is to store your string in a variable and then have the status window just display the contents of the variable.
