I am trying to get a trigger to capture and set the room title and room exits info. unfortunatly the room description and room title don't show together in either verbose or brief mode.

This is my code:
#Trig (%*) {~((%*)~)
%roomname(,%1)

this is me trying to replace the word "and" and "," and " " thats commas spaces and the word and with either pipes or nothing.
%roomexit(,%concat("{",%replace(%replace(%replace(%2,",","|"),"and","|")," ",""),"}"))

one other issue i have is its sending the text to the mud i.e. %roomname(,%1) sends the text to the mud that i am trying to set in the mapper and the mud says >What?

here is the mud text i am working with.

To stop it from sending the information to the mud you want to #CALL %roomname that way it will process it, but not send as input.

as far as your replaceing "," " " and "and" to pipe chars and what you need you can use just this..

%replace(%replace(%1,", ","|")," and ","|")

that will replace ", " to "|" as well as change the " and " to "|" I tested that and it worked fine for me. Hope that helps

I think the mapper should be able to handle lines like this just fine, without you having to do anything at all. Just reconfigure it. Tell it you don't want to capture room descriptions, just room names and exits.

if you can't get the mapper configuration to work, it would probably be better to use #tag rather than calling %roomname yourself. For one thing, your trigger is going to try to rename the room every time it sees a line like that--an awful lot of extra calls to the mapper database.
