I've been banging my head against this for the longest, so I'm really hoping you guys can help me on this one. It's been very frustrating to me.

Basically this is a trigger to allow other players to query my 'armour' database, and pull up the AC values (Edged,Blunt,Fire,Ice etc). This is my script exactly:

TRIGGER: (%w) tells you: qdb (*)

#VARIABLE qrequestor %1
#VARIABLE qitem "%2"
#VARIABLE qresults %find( "%2", armour, type)
#VARIABLE qitems %numitems( %find( "%2", armour, type))
#IF (@qitems) {} {tell @qrequestor ERROR: @qitem was not found. ant to help me add it?}
#IF (@qitems>1) {tell @qrequestor ERROR: Too many items returned. Narrow search.}
#IF (@qitems=1) {reveal %expand( @qresults) tell %expand( @qrequestor)}

reveal (in the last line) is an alias. Here's it's script:

#EXECUTE {%2 %3 @%1.Name - Ed:@%1.Edged Bl:@%1.Blunt Fi:@%1.Fire Ic:@%1.Ice Ac:@%1.Acid Mi:@%1.Mind Po:@%1.Poison - Last Updated:@%1.Date}

Now everything works correctly EXCEPT the date (which is weird, because i only added the date AFTER i got the rest of the script working) and the date ONLY falters when the trigger calls it. example would be:

reveal 10ar tell noah
DOES:
tell noah Crimson Gloves - Ed:12 Bl:12 Fi:0 Ic:12 Ac:0 Mi:0 Po:0 - Last Updated:2002.08.12

However, when the trigger above calls it, I get the following:

tell noah Crimson Gloves - Ed:12 Bl:12 Fi:0 Ic:12 Ac:0 Mi:0 Po:0 - Last Updated:@10ar.Date

Notice the Last Updated :(
Please help me .. I can't figure out what's wrong. Maybe there is a better way to do this whole thing?

Simple list of changes, I am sure you can figure where they belong.

#IF (@qitems=1) {#DBGET @qresults;reveal}

#AL reveal {tell @qrequestor %rec.Name - Ed:%rec.Edged Bl:%rec.Blunt Fi:%rec.Fire Ic:%rec.Ice Ac:%rec.Acid Mi:%rec.Mind Po:%rec.Poison - Last Updated:%rec.Date}

Explicit expansion is not required as it is automatically implied.

Perhaps if you add a space at the end? I notice that the same syntax works for the rest of the line and that's the only difference I can see.
#EXECUTE {%2 %3 @%1.Name - Ed:@%1.Edged Bl:@%1.Blunt Fi:@%1.Fire Ic:@%1.Ice Ac:@%1.Acid Mi:@%1.Mind Po:@%1.Poison - Last Updated:@%1.Date }
