For details on how to use variables, please see the schelp for VARIABLES.

Special variables are as follows:
=================================
self - the mob, item, or room running the script. Normal fields may also
be used.
random - This variable returns a number between 1 and the field value.
For example, %random.10% would be a value between 1 and 10.
Also, for random, there is an option for %random.char% that will
return a random character in the room the script is being run in.
people - this variable returns a random person in a room vnum that you
specify. i.e. %people.3001% will return a random person sitting
in room 3001.

Special Notes on any variable that is a string (not a number). They have 6
special abilities to allow you to efficiently handle strings.

1. First, you can retrieve the length of a string by using:
%somestring.strlen%

2. You can see if a string contains another string by doing:
%somestring.contains(searchstring)%

3. If you want to make sure there are no blank spaces at the front or end
of the string, you can remove them by doing:
set newstring %somestring.trim%

4. If you want to know if a string is the abbreviation of another string
you can check by doing:
if (%somestring.isabbrev(north)%)
...
end

5. If you need just the first word in a sentence, you can retrieve it by
doing:
set oneword %somestring.car%

6. And finally, to get a string, without the first word, you would do:
set setstring %somestring.cdr%
