[tf-dis] Capturing a gagged line in a variable

[Colin M. <zix...@gm...>]

Hello folks.

I've been fiddling with the idea of putting my current location into the
status bar for a while, just got around to looking into it.  Not sure if
this is the best way, but as I connect to 'freeform' MUCKs, there isn't
anything specific that I can use for my location, so I created a small
command that will output:

<loc>Room Name</loc>

My plan was to gag the line, while hopefully figuring out how to place that
line into a variable.  This is my initial test:

/def -ag -t'^<loc>[A-Za-z0-9].*<\/loc>$' loc_name = say %{P0}

And hooray!  My character says:

Zxarr says, "<loc>Room Name</loc>"

So I tried going a little farther, which is where I'm starting to lose
control:

/def -ag -t'^<loc>.*<\/loc>$' loc_name = \
/set loc=%{P0} \
/send say %{loc}

Shouldn't this do the same thing?

I've tried %%{P0} as well and replacing %{loc} with %{P0} in the /send
command...


Thanks everyone.
