Ok, so here's what I want to do..
the mud I play (realms of despair) has the eq damage message as follows:

(a lion-crested bracer gets damaged)

what I want to do, is based on that message, exam <item>.. in this case, something like exam lion-bracer which gives me this text

You take a closer look at a lion-crested bracer on your body...
You see nothing special.
As you look more closely, you notice that it is in good shape. (72%)
It appears to be within or below your level range.

using the #sub command, I added in the (72%)..
what I want to do is put the name (lion-crested bracer) into a static variable in a status window and either put the 'is in good shape' or the '(72%)' with it.. so it looks kinda like
worn on wrist: Lion-crested bracer (is in good shape)
or
worn on wrist: lion-crested bracer (72%).
part of the issue is, there's upwards of 23 wear locs available for different locations.
I'd also like to color the damage level.. right now, I'm using #sub "is in good shape ~(72%~)" for the sub command..
any ideas or suggestions?

This should store values to you in a dbvar

#TR {~((*(%x)) gets damaged~)} {thisDamaged=%1;thisShort=%2;Exam @thisShort}
#COND {~((%d)~%~)} {#ADDKEY damagedGear {@thisDamaged=%1}}

and displaying it on the statuswindow

#STW %expanddb(@damagedGear, %crlf)

this won't show wearlocs and is untested, but it should work, or at least put you on the right track

as for the color... #COLOR and #CW are your friends

primarily, this will be used for avatars for runs and such, and won't really change eq that much.. is there a way to 'hardcode' the statuswindow and the variables?
<used as light> (Glowing) Kendal's globe of moonlight <insert status here>
<worn on finger> the ring of the dragons <insert status here>
<worn on finger> a sapphire ring <insert status here>
<worn around neck> (Glowing) (Humming) scales of alpha & omega <insert status here>
<worn around neck> (Glowing) (Humming) scales of alpha & omega <insert status here>
<worn on body> the Breastplate of the Ravager <insert status here>
<worn on head> (Glowing) Crown of the Ages <insert status here>
<worn on legs> godskull shinguards <insert status here>
<worn on feet> boots of deepest blue empyrean snakeskin <insert status here>
<worn on hands> (Glowing) Blessed gauntlets of the Templar <insert status here>
<worn on arms> (Glowing) (Humming) a pair of dragonscale arm-guards <insert status here>
<worn about body> the essence of kundalini <insert status here>

<worn on ears> a studded, silver earring <insert status here>

<worn on back> a thick piece of lizard hide <insert status here>
<worn over face> the fur from a raccoon <insert status here>
<worn around ankle> a turqoise anklet <insert status here>
<worn around ankle> [nothing]

for that matter, I'm not tied to a status window.. how would using a child window affect things?

that can be done, yes, but the fact that you have two identical items will prove to be an issue

in your instance you need to take the time to make a long variable with

#VAR gearList {%concat(@gearlist, "<used as whatever> itemname: ", %db(@damagedGear, "itemname"), "%", %cr)}

for each item, then use

#STW @gearlist
