Mud Reader
 
Hi I just wanted to know how to keep mud reader from saying this [ or this ] let me give you an example:

Ship [166], the Sovereign, just entered the sector.

is read as

Ship left square bracket 166 right square bracket , the Sovereign, just entered the sector.

I don't know how to keep it from saying that but it does get annoying even though I like mud reader. Please if anyone has any ideas for a script to fix this problem please reply thanks.

use a %replace() to strip it out of the string before before it gets sent to the reader?

Here is your answer:

#TR {~[} {#SUB ""}
#TR {~]} {#SUB ""}

On a related note, the similiar command:
#SUB {~[} {""}
appears to strip the quotes from the trigger and does not allow the trigger to register (as defined above).

#tr {^Ship ~[(%d)~], (*), (*).} {#speak Ship %1 %2 %3}

That should work as well.

Ship 166 the sovereign just entered the sector
