How do I get something I type in the command line as a variable in an alias?
|
Sorry if this is on the forum or holp somewhere. I don't have any programming experience with this and can't work out how to do it.
In short, I'm trying to save myself lots of typing similar instructions by creating an alias and using the text from the input line as a variable but can't see how to do it.
As an example, t would be something like turning:
"Get xxx from backpack"
into
"Getbg xxx" where xxx = whatever it is I want to get out of the backpack. Obviously Getbag is the rest of the intstruction.
I've read throiugh the manual/instructions/forum but can't see how to do it.
Thanks in anticipation

Type this in at the command line; it will create an alias to do what you want:
| Code: |
#ALIAS getbg {#SEND Get %1 from backpack}
|
Basically, all aliases are presumed to have parameters, separated by spaces. You can use these parameters inside your alias code as %1, %2, etc., or %params for all of them. You don't need to do anything special.
Once you create the alias, you should be able to type "getbg xxx" to get xxx from your pack. |
