There are a few scripts in this thread that I have cut and paste in order to advance some young characters while foregoing some of the monotonous. I noticed that several posts were placed regarding errors or scripts that wouldn't run properly for people that presumably used the same script I cut and paste, and are using it correctly.

Well, I wouldn't be posting this if they worked so smoothly for me, so, here is what I found.

The only problem I had with these scripts was when I cut and paste the script into a .cmd file format, the script would never get passed the first match string. After a little troubleshooting, it seems that the problem was a hard return at the end of every line of text that I cut and paste. I guess it was a hard return, I don't know much more about the syntax of the text that is cut and paste. After I deleted every hard return from every line of text within any string of commands, the script worked fine.

I hope this helps some of you that are still working on learning the basics scrpiting.

It's been brought up, it has to do with the formatting of the BBS, just right click save as on the scripts listed and then edit them to taste on your own machine. Works like a champ.

Don't paste scripts... It deletes double spaces, and things to that effect.
