dropping parenthesis
|
I am trying to make an alias that will pick up a description and put it in a secondary window to be read later. I did this by making an alias for "l" that has this code:
#T+ lookcapture
#send l %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6
this is working, sending the description to the secondary window. I am encountering something strange though, when I try to use a command with parenthesis in it, sending that to the mud it drops the parenthesis. For example:
l dwarf (nodding)
becomes:
l dwarf nodding
also:
l dwarf (nodding to him)
becomes
l dwarf noddingtohim
I'm confused by it and have been trying to figure out what I've been doing wrong with little success.
brackets seems seem to go through just fine. I would very much like to keep the parenthesis intact.
Any idea what I am doing wrong? |

( and ) are special characters in CMUD. If you want to sent those literal characters to the MUD, you need to type ~ before them in the command line. For example:
l dwarf ~(nodding~) |

In addition, if you want to send all the parameters, you can do it for any number of parameters rather than just %1, %2, %3, etc.:
#SEND l %params |
