Alright, here is a home run if you can riddle me this...I am making a script that pulls information from a make list and sorts it into the database. This will be all good and well except for the way the make list is organized on the MUD. Here is an shortened example:

(It is best to look at this example by right clicking the post, view source and scroll down. The post messes up the spacing.)

Keyword to bring up: make list

Keyword Type lvl Skill required
bracer armor_wrist 5 armor craft
helmet armor_head 10 armor craft
armored gloves armor_hands 30 armor craft
armored boots armor_feet 30 armor craft
ring ring 15 jewelry craft
necklace necklace 15 jewelry craft
bracelet bracelet 16 jewelry craft
sword sword 25 weapon craft
mace mace 25 weapon craft
flail flail 25 weapon craft

Problems:

1) I need it to register through each line, ie bracer line, then helmet line, then armored gloves etc.

2) It needs to sort the word(s) into the correct field. "Bracer" and "armored gloves" would
be placed into keyword, "armor_wrist" and "armor_head" into type, etc. This shouldn't be
a difficult thing to do except I have nothing to set the command against, as it is
seperated by just space and not Keyword:bracer for instance. I've considered replacing the
space, but I still have problem 1.

This information will later be queried from the database for pick lists that make it much
easier to enter information for making items, as well as keeping information up to date and
tailoring to a specific character's ability to make different things. A friend and I have
mulled over this, and I felt it was time to ask the professionals before some form of
brain trauma began to develop. If you need more specifics than what I have provided.
Please, let me know. Thank you in advance for any assistance.
