#MXP has trouble parsing if the first parameter is %1.

Consider

#REGEX {^[\s*(\d+)] ((\a+ )+)(\s+)(\d+ .+)$} {
#MXP %1 <send ~"buy %3~" ~"buy~">%trim(%3)</send>%5 <send ~"buy %3~" ~"321 bits~">%6</send>
}

Confirmed. The syntax highlighting isn't using the pink that it normally does for %n variables - instead it's making the % green and the 1 orange, which I guess means the parser is identifying it wrong. I also tried testing using "#mxp {text %1}" and that didn't work either - no colouring at all.

The #MXP command was originally added for internal testing purposes. The first argument of #MXP is actually a hidden argument that allows you to override the secure/open setting being used. Essentially, the first argument is the numeric value used in the ESC [ nn z MXP code that is sent at the beginning of the line. The default value of "nn" is 1, which outputs the MXP in secure mode.

That is why it's important to put {} around the entire argument so the #MXP command doesn't try to parse the first argument as this numeric "nn" code.

Ok that leads to a second question... maybe I'm daft ( or Shocked

didn't search properly ) but I didn't see a way to generate an active tag (i.e. I can click on it and it works) using PSUB or SUB.

The best I was able to was to get the text generated, but it didn't look like the tag was interpreted as an MXP tag. Am I missing or should I just keep searching the forums.

I know Fang is quick with these types of questions, any input?

$temp={Preform <send 'action1 %1|action2 %1|Action3 %1|action4 %1' 'Action One|Action One|Action Two|Action Three|Action Four'>action</send> on %1}
#SUB {$temp}

That is soo obvious I'm not sure why it didn't occur to me before... It also makes me wonder why the direct substitution doesn't work.

Plus it plays into the fact that I eventually want to modify it recreate the ansi colors using MXP colors so I don't lose the information.

Oh, it can be done directly but it is a LOT uglier and really not worth the trouble when you can make it look so pretty this way.

It's been a while since I did it directly though so forgive me if I happen to have forgotten the syntax!

Now is it possible to do it for a partial line. Consider the same trigger.

And the input line is this.

Ok... it doesn't look like it can be done directly (perhaps this should be a feature request).

But I worked around it by enabling a second trigger that just matches the end and does the sub on that portion so I end up with something like this.
