Line color for triggers more than one line long.
 
So I'm trying count how many times something shows up. I'm using a string list to trigger off of, and if I do something like ^({@string}) it works fine.

Once I add in the Line Color check, it only works when a line fits across my screen in a single line, if it has to wrap around to another line it doesn't trigger.

I've tried everything I can think of. I changed it to ^({@string})*.$ to try to force it to see the end of the line, but I'm not even sure if that's the problem since the trigger pattern would only be for the first word.

Not sure if it makes a difference, but I used this in zmud just fine. I know cmud uses colors differently, I'm hoping not so differently that this is no longer possible.

Thanks in advance.

Do you need to anchor to the beginning of the line, and do you need to check line color? My guess is that once you turn line color on, it is checking the ansi colors, and those ansi codes come before the first word.

An alternative would be to use an actual ansi trigger, and put the proper ansi code into your trigger pattern. Or if you don't need to anchor to the first word, then just get rid of the carat (^) in your trigger.

It is necessary to force it to start at the beginning of the line. How would I force it to recognize an ansi pattern? Using %linecol? I'd rather not do that, but I can if that's the only way.

Anyone have any ideas? I tried removing the ^. Tried checking for the ANSI code in the debugger, and it didn't give any ansi code for the colored text I need.

It appears to be more of a word problem. If I have it not wrap lines around, then it always works fine, but then the text just rolls right off the side of cmud, and I don't want to have to scroll back and forth!
It's when the line has to get wrapped to a second line that it doesn't fire. Removing the indent doesn't work either.

I'm at a loss!

Well, I'm using CMUD 3.08 and while I can't see any problems with matching a keyword on a wrapped line, I do see the bug that CMUD ignores "Line Color" checkbox state. It looks only at line color selected with the color picker left to the checkbox.

I'll ask one more time to see if anyone else has any suggestions. I have colored text. I am using the line color option in a trigger.

I know it's detecting line color and that I have the right color selected because once I enable the line color check it starts only firing on lines of that color.
Problem is it stops firing on any wrapped lines. Again if I go to the options and disable word wrapping, this problem goes away.
It fires on wrapped lines fine without the color check too.

Last time I'm asking. If anyone has any ideas at all on this, please let me know.

Are you using server side line wrap, or cmud line wrap?

Either way I think this might be hard to do, if I recall right this has been brought up before, I think what is happening is cmud sees

Code:
<ansi color pattern>text<ansi color reset><newline>
<same ansi color pattern>remaining text<ansi color reset>


Have you tried using an ANSI trigger, and just putting the color sequence at the beginning of the line?
