Atleast I think this is a variable Question?
I am very new to Zmud. I hope I have given enough information.

In my MUD
"Di Carnival" gives me the following information.

>di carnival

Report for Carnival - Duchy of Carnival
Development level: Bureaucracy
Population level: 5,100
Turnover tax base rate: 0%
Overlord: Rere

Droidhomeworld Industrial
Escapade Leisure
Oodles Mining & Extraction
Quazar Leisure
Zsiveria Leisure
Tenchuu Technological

This information Changes occasionally. I would like to extract the names from the first colum into a list that would allow me to do the following

"Di <firstnameincolumn>"

I would like to do this for each name in the list.

PLease help

The Informatino comes more like 2 Columns on the MUD screen.

Example:

Droindhomeworld <<space>> Leisure

Here is your info surrounded by the [ c o d e ] [ / c o d e ] (shows the spacing)

Something probably best handled by the zMud database.

#TR {Report for %w} {#VAR diblank 1;#T+ diblank}
#TR {$} {#IF (@diblank > 0) {#T+ di;#VAR diblank 0} {#T- di;#T- diblank}} diblank
#TR {^(%w)} {#ADDITEM dilist %1} di

This will create/add to a list. Using #ADDITEM will prevent duplication of items. If you prefer to allow duplicates, you'll need to use the %additem() function. I've assumed you'll have exactly one blank line just before the list of names and at least one blank line following them. Using this list to generate additional reports which will in turn supply additional names to the list is likely to be tricky. A loop structure probably won't work, since the number of loops needed will change during the loop. This might work:

#VAR direport 1
#AL direport {#IF (@direport <= %numitems(@dilist)) {di %item(@dilist,@direport);#ADD direport 1} {#SAY All done}}

You'd need to re-enter the "direport" command manually with this script. If you want to automate that, add the command "direport" to the false portion of the "$" trigger.

Thank you I will try that. The manipulation of the values retrieved will never return the list. The fist command "di Carnival" is constant and returns this list because of the Development Level Bureaucracy

Thank you very much for the help. The script you gave me gets the list I want but it also gets the first word or every other line on the screen.

Please advise

The script is doing exactly what it's supposed to, capturing the first word of each line. You have to disable the di class when you finish the list to stop it.

Apparently, it DOESN'T end with a blank line, which (as I stated) I had assumed in writing the script. Since I have no idea what would indicate the end of the list, you'll have to find some way of writing a trigger that detects when you've reached the end of the list and use that trigger to issue the #T- di and #T- diblank commands.

Thank you again. I will work on getting that end sign trigger. It does have one blank line after the last planet name though.

If it does have a blank line after the last planet it should work. The first trigger sets @diblank to 1 and turns the diblank class on. When the first blank line comes (just before the planet list) @diblank = 1, so the second trigger sets @diblank to 0 and turns the di class on. When the second blank line comes (after the planet list) @diblank = 0, so the second trigger should turn off the di class and the diblank class.

The second blank line might not actually be blank, it might contain spaces.

The most likely problem is that you are generating reports on those planets, which in turn is setting off the triggers. This can be fixed by changing the trigger phrase on the first trigger to be more specific.
#TR {Report for Carnival} {#VAR diblank 1;#T+ diblank}

I cheated there. There is a null line inbetween Overlord and Droidhomeworld.

If I didn't add that line it would "eat" it. I should have mentionned that in
my post.

Result of the line with no spaces:

Ton, as you can see from my use of {$} as the trigger phrase, a null line is what I expected.
