This is what I get from the mud to work with. I've successfully grabbed everything that the mud offers as far as keys except multi-line spells.

I need some sort of loop that adds each of 5 possible spells into keys Spell1, Spell2, ~ Spell5. I can capture and record the first one well enough, except that the next and last ones overwrite it in the key before I can write the @Item variable into the database. I end up with the last spell in the list as the first spell and nothing else. So I'm looking for something that checks the @Item key for a nonzero and then moves to the next key, adding in the captured spell when it comes to an empty slot.

And those |'s at the right side line up - the formatting didn't carry over well.

Sounds like you want to make it a list. Instead of overwriting the spell with "spell = %1", try "#additem spell %1". Then at the end, your spell variable will contain spell1|spell2|etc. You can then use all list functions to manipulate it as needed (#forall, %item, etc).
