Hi,

I'm attempting to make a script to shunt pages and whispers to another window.

An example output from the muck would be:

Use %x. %x will match on any non-whitespace group of characters.

You can also use a character range, which is denoted as [stuff], where stuff is the list of wildcards and literal characters you wish to match. For example, [%w'] will match the example in your post.

Neat, that works.

I have one more problem with my script:

When the first line is captured a window named "FurryMUCK - x" is opened, where x is the value of %x.

Lets say %x contained "bob".

But when another line is captured it appears in the same window.

I would expect a new window to be opened with the new value of %x, since the value of %x is now different.

A use case:

1. Bob pages me.
2. Bob's line appears in the window "FurryMUCK - Bob"
3. Tom pages me.
4. Tom's line appears in the window "FurryMUCK - Bob"

Why doesn't Tom's line appear in a window named "FurryMUCK - Tom"?

It it quite interesting that CMud processes the %1 in #CAPTURE "FurryMUCK - %1". It's not at all supposed to do that, ever, so your window name should be FurryMUCK - %1.

It's been ages since I scripted CMud, but shouldn't you call with #CAPTURE a variable (or local variable?) instead?

That way variable can always change given what's the trigger is, but capture window is always different because variable changes.

Something like...

%1 IS a variable. However, everything inside double quotes is supposed to be unparseable so if you do "FurryMUCK - @name" it would not expand @name to whatever it contained.
