I'd like to thank Gazoot and YMIhere for helping me with the current version of my look command. You guys have helped me out alot! Thanks!

Quick Note: Look (T.text/M.text) does not seem to be compatible with my colors procedure or vice versa.

Code:
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// My Pcolor Code Snippit (using Deadron's Text Handling)//
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

proc/colors(message as text)
    message = strip_html(message)
    message = dd_replaceText(message, "&R", "<font color = '#E10000'>")
    message = dd_replaceText(message, "&r", "<font color = '#A30000'>")
    message = dd_replaceText(message, "&B", "<font color = '#0022FF'>")
    message = dd_replaceText(message, "&b", "<font color = '#001AC3'>")
    message = dd_replaceText(message, "&G", "<font color = '#00E11E'>")
    message = dd_replaceText(message, "&g", "<font color = '#009F00'>")
    message = dd_replaceText(message, "&Y", "<font color = '#FCFF05'>")
    message = dd_replaceText(message, "&y", "<font color = '#D7CC00'>")
    message = dd_replaceText(message, "&C", "<font color = '#00FFFF'>")
    message = dd_replaceText(message, "&c", "<font color = '#009694'>")
    message = dd_replaceText(message, "&M", "<font color = '#FF00FF'>")
    message = dd_replaceText(message, "&m", "<font color = '#AD2B9E'>")
    message = dd_replaceText(message, "&D", "<font color = '#BFBFBF'>")
    return message

                        line += colors(M.text)
                        break

                if(lentext(line) == range+1)

Problem description:
- It seems to work fine if there is no color and on a white background, however my MUD is on a black background and uses colors.
- The code does not seem to like either multiple characters in text or the color procedure.
- I cant seem to actually get around it, I've used other variables in substitute but none seemed to have worked.

Sorry about the quick reply, but I gotta sleep in 5 mins. First, thanks for the credit. :) The biggest problem as I can see is that lentext will not be useful, since you are replacing the "&G" codes with html, which will make the string much longer than the range+1 that you test later on. So you need to use a counter for every added turf instead, and append the output when it is above range.

If it doesn't help, I'll explain more tomorrow.
