| I would like to make an alias as follows and can't seem to figure it out or find a reference on the forums.
r* returns
r%1
r%2
r%3
so rstc returns
rs
rt
rc
I can't figure out how to make a wildcard that only matches a single character.
Also, Nick, thank you so much for all your hard work! | | Top |

| | Use a regular expression pattern instead. |

| A little bit of scripting lets you break up the wildcard (stc) into individual letters:
<aliases>
<alias
match="r*"
enabled="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>
for c in string.gmatch ("%1", "%a") do
Send ("r" .. c)
end -- for
</send>
</alias>
</aliases>

For advice on how to copy the above, and paste it into MUSHclient, please see Pasting XML.

| If it was always 3 letters then Fiendish's suggestion would work, that is a regular expression:
That would match 3 characters and each one would be their own wildcard (ie. %1, %2, %3). |
