Unfortunately, there's really no substitute for grep. Its one of those commands you should really learn to use, because it has so very many uses, in so many different situations. Personally, I'd say that grep is probably one of the most useful utility commands on the mud. Examples include things like: at a shop, list all | grep -i soul (displays all soulstones) leaderboard <number> 2000 | grep -i <name> (finds a person's position on a leaderboard, and displays only their name) clan storage list | grep piece of wood | wc (tells me how many deanimated wood woads are left in the clan storage locker) l in <container> | grep heal | wc (I was using this last night in place of count to tell how many heal scrolls I'd successfully created)
The uses of grep are so varied and many that I'm actually having trouble coming up with specific examples. If you're struggling with it, I'd highly recommend going over the helpfile with a fine-toothed comb, because it's most certainly time well spent. -------------------------------------------------- From: "dark" <d...@xgam.org> Sent: Sunday, June 26, 2016 21:39 To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Subject: Re: [Audyssey] command suggestions for Alteraeon Thanks John. I thought I did check the punctuation on the grep thing, but it still never worked. Maybe I put a space or a dash in the wrong place or something. AGain, this is why I would be very happy with a streight forward, logical command, such as quest Arcase todo" or questtodo arcase or something like that, since it's a command I use a lot.
