I'm not quite sure what I need, but here is the problem:

Here are six commands: +bg, +pers, +skills, +res, +powers, +flaws

There are multiple sections to each of these commands, they in fact display a character's traits.

What I need is something like an alias, though I'm not entirely sure, that will allow me to type any of these commands without the plus sign. In addition I also need to be able to have a number following the command, such as this: bg1

After that I need to be able to type a character's name such as this: bg1 lurk

I understand that I could create about 20 alias' for each command to do just this, but I am really hoping that it won't come to that.

What does the number do?

There are two ways off the top of my head to do this. One is just a simple alias and the second is a #ONINPUT trigger. I'll give you two variations of both.

#ALIAS bg {+bg}

input: bg 1 lurk
output: +bg 1 lurk

#ALIAS bg {+bg%1 %2}

input: bg 1 lurk
output: +bg1 lurk

#ONINPUT {^bg(%d) (%w)$} {#SUB {+bg %1 %2}}

input: bg1 lurk
output: +bg 1 lurk

#ONINPUT {^bg(%d) (%w)$} {#SUB {+bg%1 %2}}

input: bg1 lurk
output: +bg1 lurk

What is the syntax for the MUD commands +bg, +pers, etc?

SYNTAX: +bg(number) (character name)

(number): Say you have 5 bg entries, each on of those entries is a number: +bg1 lurk, +bg2 lurk, etc.
--------------------------------------------

I was wondering if there was a way to maybe make it so I could type in:

(character name) bg(number)

EX: lurk bg1

I'm just asking because it's quite a hassle having to place the cursor near the beginning of the command when I want to be able to quickly change a 1 into a 2.

If not, it's okay, you have done more than enough.

By the way I used the #ONINPUT one.

#ONINPUT {^(%w) bg(%d)$} {#SUB {+bg%2 %1}}
