I have an old tool that stores speed walks. When I select one, it automatically puts the walk into the clipboard ready to paste into a mud client.

This worked fine when I used zMud, but I'm having difficulty in getting it to work in cMud.

An example speed walk I have is: "W; W; W; Open West; W; W; W; N; " (without the quotes)

Now, if I manually edited this text, and removed the spaces after the semi-colons, it works fine.

zMud accepted the spaces there, cMud (out of the box) doesn't.

How can I setup cMud to accept a speedwalk in this format? (I change change the old compiled utility to give different output)

Note: I tried an alias to swap "; " to ";" but it didn't work.

You should be able to use %replace(string, " ", "")
to get rid of the white spaces themselves.

I've just tried that, and then it ends up sending "W;W;W;Open West;W;W;W;N;" to the mud, which is incorrect. The semi-colons should be parsed by cMud into new lines.

However, the mud then rejects that.

What I need to do is:
* parse the command line (which could have an extra keyword at the beginning to identify a speedwalk)
* remove the spaces after the semi-colons
* BUT THEN for cMud to parse the semi-colons so that each direction in the speedwalk is entered on a new line.

OR

For cMud to see the "; " as a newline separator...

After you remove the spaces, use the #EXEC command to execute the string and send the individual commands to the MUD.
