Here's what I've created

I play a mud where chants require i mix certain herbs. I have a database i created that has the chant names and the components they require listed

Name Of Chant | Comp1 | comp2 | comp3 | comp4

some of these have 1 component some have 5 and others have somewhere in between

what i'm wondering is if it's possible to get zmud to pull the values from comp1 comp2 comp3 comp4 and post them in a line like:

mix comp1 comp2 comp3 comp4

and help is much appreciated

Once you've selected the record using #FIND, you can use the data with the & operator.

#FIND @chant All {Name of Chant} 1
mix &comp1 &comp2 &comp3 &comp4

I'm not sure if your multiple word field name is going to cause problems.

A little bit more information about your setup is required, but basically, if you put the name of the chant in one field and the components required for that chant in another field, this can be done easily. You might want to try looking into
%db
%dbget
%find
%query

I'll try to clear this up a little.

My Datbase has currently 5 fields:
Name of Chant
1st Component
2nd Component
3rd Component
4th Component

what i want is to extract the values of:
1st 2nd 3rd 4th and paste them prefixed with mix:

Mix 1st 2nd 3rd 4th
I'm a bit of a hard core Merc lover so I eventually want this to work when i type cast 'float'
my Zmud will spit out:
mix Anise 'Irish Moss'
chant self

hope that is what you wanted :P
I will look at dbget

The easiest way to do this would be to ignore the database and just put the herbs in the alias to start with.

#AL float {mix Anise 'Irish Moss';chant self}
