That's a personal pet peeve of mine.

The helpfiles are misleading as well.

Most people think that:
Code:
if %cmd.mudcommand% == look && %arg% /= orb

accounts for:

look o
look or
look orb

They're right, the problem is, it also accounts for:

look r
look rb
look b

To not make all substrings pass as true, and only those that are an actual abbreviation the following workaround is necessary:
Code:
set orb 'orb if %cmd.mudcommand% == look && %orb.contains('%arg%)%

Works fine as far as I can tell, mob 215 on TBA.

> l orb
As you look at the orb a feeling of peace and serenity comes over you.
> l rb
You do not see that here.
> l b
You do not see that here.

I glanced at it it too quickly, it does what I mentioned, but backwards.
Code:
if %cmd.mudcommand% == look && %arg% /= orb

the %arg% should be the second argument being compared to have the results I originally mentioned.

As is it actually has this result:

> look o
You do not see that here.

> look or
You do not see that here.

> look orb
As you look at the orb a feeling of peace and serenity comes over you.

> look orbistrblah
As you look at the orb a feeling of peace and serenity comes over you.

So I swapped the =/ variables to the correct order: orb /= %arg%

Still not ideal, but it does the abbrev properly now. But, it also matches any single letter.

> l orb
As you look at the orb a feeling of peace and serenity comes over you.
> l or
As you look at the orb a feeling of peace and serenity comes over you.
> l o
As you look at the orb a feeling of peace and serenity comes over you.
> l orbihetuso
You do not see that here.
> l blorb
You do not see that here.
> l rb
As you look at the orb a feeling of peace and serenity comes over you.
> l b
As you look at the orb a feeling of peace and serenity comes over you.
> l o
As you look at the orb a feeling of peace and serenity comes over you.

Yeah, the /= just runs a strstr check, it's why I usually use .contains, and use a unique character of some sort (typically a ' mark) to force the comparison to start at the beginning of the word.

The helpfile doesn't say so, but in reality:

if a /= %b%
if %b.contains(a)%

Those do exactly the same thing.
