| I'm looking for something that will allow me to use the +vote system on my MUSH more effectively. Basically I need an alias that allows me to type "vote x y z" and it sends +vote x;+vote y;+vote z to the MUSH. Of, course I want it to be able to take in more then three names and the amount will change each time. Any ideas on how I could do this?
Thanks :) | | Top |

| So correct me if I'm wrong but you want to take every letter and run +VOTE <letter> on them in turn.
Looking through the help files, I discovered the string.gmatch() function, which might work, as the example Nick gives is almost exactly what you're looking for: parse out the space-separated "words" into individual arguments.
Assuming your alias would match "vote *", your script could be:
for w in string.gmatch("%1","%a+") do
print (w) -- Simply prints out every space-seperated letter on their own lines
Send("+vote "..w)
end -- for

| | It sounds like 'x y z' are placeholders for names, like "vote george bob larry". |

| | Hmm, yes. You'd probably just have to change %a to %S. |
