Ok, I get a chunk of text that looks like this when I type in a command, 'software':

Now... the files under the "Other software" section are what matter, specifically the ones that start with "Paydata." I want to make an alias that will activate the 'software' command, gag the output from the mud, count the number of 'Paydata' files I have, and then show me... how would I get this done?

I'm no expert, but try this.

#class software
#class 0
#alias sw {#t+ software;software;wait 500;#t- software;#ec You have @paydatas files.}
#tr {Paydata} {#add @paydatas 1} "software"
#tr {You jack into the deck} {#gag 20} "software"

#CLASS {Paydata} {disable}
#ALIAS pd {
#T+ Paydata
#VA Paydata 0
#GAGON

}
#TRIGGER {^Paydata } {#AD Paydata 1}
#TRIGGER { %dP %dM} {
#T- Paydata
#GAGOFF
#SH {You have @Paydata Paydata files}
} "" {prompt}
#CLASS 0

Now, whent I type "pd" I get this:

You have 0 Paydata files

It's trying to show me how many paydata files I have before it even counts them, and it's not gagging the text

I put commands in a specific order for specific reasons. They won't work in the order you rearranged them to.

The problem you describe is probably caused by the prompt trigger. Since I only used the "prompt" option, it can fire not only when received as a prompt but also when contained in a line. Unfortunately, when you send "pd", the return completes the line containing the previous prompt and fires the trigger. It can probably be fixed by adding the "nocr" option (or disabling Newline in the editor). However, the script still won't work if you put the alias which enables the class inside the class it enables.

#DELC Paydata
#AL pd {#T+ Paydata;#VA Paydata 0;#GAGON;software}
#CLA Paydata disable
#TR {^Paydata } {#AD Paydata 1}
#TR { %dP %dM} {#T- Paydata;#GAGOFF;#SH {You have @Paydata Paydata files}} {} {prompt|nocr}
#CLA 0
#T- Paydata

EDIT: Corrected typo in script

One other problem I'm getting is I'm having to put the "#TR { %dP %dM} {#T- Paydata;#GAGOFF;#SH {You have @Paydata Paydata files}) {} {prompt|nocr}" part of the script in manually, because when I copy and paste the code into zmud, I get this:

(script copy and pasted in)

[ 10P 10M ][ 3/3 ][ 75.64K 618177N ]{You have 0 Paydata files}) prompt|nocr
{#T-

Edit:
#TR { %dP %dM} {#T- Paydata;#GAGOFF;#SH {You have @Paydata Paydata files}) {} {prompt|nocr}

Found that, fixed the problem:
#TR { %dP %dM} {#T- Paydata;#GAGOFF;#SH {You have @Paydata Paydata files}} {} {prompt|nocr}

I was wondering if you had to do anything to set up a certain line to be recognized as a prompt on zmud, because when I use the "pd" alias now, it keeps all of the text gagged until I hit enter, and then it just goes back to normal...

#CLASS {Paydata} {disable}
#TRIGGER {^Paydata } {#AD Paydata 1}
#TRIGGER { %dP %dM} {
#T- Paydata
#GAGOFF
#SH {You have @Paydata Paydata files}
} "" {nocr|prompt}
#CLASS 0

In order for a line to be recognized as a "prompt", it has to be sent as a block which doesn't end with a newline character. That means, you will see the line, but the cursor will still be on that line, and the next thing you type will also be on that line (without typing ahead).

If that trigger doesn't work for you, try a blank-line trigger (similar to all the chat window scripts). I'm just making guesses about what your MUD does. I don't actually know if that line is a prompt or not. All you are looking for is a line which will tell you, "That's the end of the program listings, so you can go back to showing stuff in the window again". If you can't find a line which does that, or can't make a trigger which will do it after the listings instead of before them, then you will have to do three things (the same three things the trigger did).
1. Remove the #GAG commands. If zMUD doesn't know when to stop gagging, they aren't safe.
2. Send your own command to display the variable contents once you decide that all the "Paydata" lines have been received.
3. Disable the class until the next time you need it (optional)
