Can't figure this out

[Aleyki]

Is there a way to tell mudlet not to parse a semicolon in the command line? For example, if I want to do : "say You're an idiot; go away"
It's probably a simple solution but i can't figure it out. I've tried using escape characters (You're an idiot\; go away / You're an idiot~; go away.) to no avail, and also tried the MUSH way (You're an idiot;; go away) with similar results.

The semicolon may be set as the command separator, check the settings and change it to what you want it.

I'd support an exceptions list. I'm used to using the semi-colon as a separator from way back in my zmud days, but at certain times I do want to be able to exempt it. like, for example, using ";)" at the end of a SAY in the IRE games changes the output to "says with a smile and a wink..."

So, go into settings and change the command separator.

there a reason that \ doesn't escape it like it does everything else?

Not convenient - then you'd need to escape the escape symbol and so forth.

Personally, I've set it to - ;; - and haven't had any issues since.

I'd hate to have to change what I use as a command separator. I've been using ";" since high school, and it's a common standard in programming. I'd much rather see exceptions.

Oh, right, I didn't think about changing the command separator itself. I guess that works too. Thanks, guys.

Yeah, I think that if would be nice to have ;; as a default command separator
