| I'm having a bit of trouble trying to create an alias that will omit the wildcard from the alias if I don't specify one. To be more specific, this is the alias I've used in the past through MCL:
tgp %1 (tgp * for MUSHclient)
open pouch
take %1 gold from pouch
close pouch
Behavior one usually ends up like this:
tgp 100
open pouch
take 100 gold from pouch
close pouch
HOWEVER, I want behavior two to happen like this when I don't specify %1:
tgp
open pouch
take gold from pouch (This takes all gold from the pouch)
close pouch
It seems that if I check "Regular Expression" in the alias editing dialog, it doesn't let me use the wildcard, period (Behavior two). However, if I don't have that checked and I just send "tgp" without the added wildcard, the client doesn't recognize the command (only behavior one works)
I hope I've made my issue clear, but I'll be more than willing to help you better understand if that didn't do it. | | Top |

| One approach would be to use:
tgp*
That way you aren't insisting on the space after "tgp" and that should match both cases.
Otherwise, you could use regular expressions:
Match: ^tgp( [0-9]+){0,1}$
This checks for a space followed by some numbers. |

| | Brilliant fix, Nick. The xxx* formula did exactly what I wanted it to. Thanks a lot! | | Top |
