apostrophes and targets

[lyrralt]

Mudlet doesn't seem to like apostrophes, because when I enter any into an alias the program crashes. The first example my mud uses apostrophes for spell casting to sepearate the spell input from the target name c 'fireball' dave. Second, when I get a successful alias made (minus apostrophes), I want to be able to add a target after the input of the alias. So if my alias word is fire, and I want that to cast fireball, I want to be able to type fire dave and have it throw a fireball at him. Also I'll be as clear about this as I can, I need to know exactly what to put where with no extra brackets or anything. If you write it, I'm going to type it

Thanks in advance for anyone that helps me.

I think the easiest way would be this:
Have a targetting alias that would be like this:

Pattern: ^weave (.+)$

Script: weave = matches[2]
cecho("<white>Weave target set to: <gold>" .. weave .. "\n")

Then have another alias that would be like this:
send("channel 'fireball' " .. weave)
cecho("<firebrick>Channel fireball <gold>" .. weave .. "\n")

Alias: Acid Blast
Pattern: ^ac?(?: ([\w']+))?$

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

if matches[2] then
	send("c 'acid blast' " .. matches[2])
else
	send("c 'acid blast'")
end

Maybe that'll help, either way that's how I do it.

Edit: Suppose I should mention, that you can enter a ' into the alias without it crashing.
