If I was to take a tell and send it to a new window, simple enough. But I'm unsure how to go about it if it wraps over 2 lines:

Wookieman tells you 'then again, i'm planning a daily single miningrun of ~100 chunks when i
get back to finland, and i'll have to store it somewhere'

is there a way?

Well, you can do it with a multistate trigger, like

#trig {(%w) tells you '} {#cap window;#t+ capall}
#cond {'$} {#cap window;#t- capall}

#trig {*} {#cap window} "" {disable}

But it's much easier just to turn off server-side word wrapping if you can.

Server-side wrapping is disabled, but some things aren't really 'optional' so to speak. The game is so huge, hard to create rules for all pre-existing things when new features are added. I'll try this.

I'm really not sure what your second sentence is on about, or what you mean by some things not being optional. If server-side word wrapping is off, and the wrapping in your original post was done by CMUD, then you should just be able to use

#trig {(%w) tells you '} {#cap window}

with no problems.

Perhaps he means that even with server side wrapping turned off, the mud still breaks some lines. In my favorite mud, I've found one case of that--in room descriptions no less!

Ok yeah, that most recent one you gave me Fang works perfectly fine, thanks.

Actually, in the case I've noticed, I think it is somehow in the code of the mud. If the Exits line is too long, the mud inserts a break into it, even with server-side wrapping turned off. A bit annoying--makes it trickier to get the mapper to mark the exits in a new room. Fortunately not many rooms have so many exits.

The MUD I play uses line breaks in notes and descriptions all the time. I've never thought of a need for it to be otherwise though, not like I'm trying to trigger off a room description.

Description is one thing, Exits is another. I had to make some changes to my tag triggers and configuration, because otherwise the mapper wasn't marking the existence of some of the exits.
