Ok..I'd like to set it up to capture all of the following text to a file..I can see that i'd use write..but i've got no real understanding of how to go about using it to accomplish my objective.
My Guess is it would be EASIEST to capture everything between the 2 sets of _-ed lines and then write to the file. This file will NOT ever need to be appeneded to..replace is prefered.
Thanks in advance .

By the way, why don't you upgrade to 6.40? It's free and a lot better than 6.16.

Thanks..havent given that a try but knowing the work you've done I'm sure it will do the job.
As to why i havent upgraded there are 2 primary reasons. The first and foremost is i've got a low end system that really had probblems every time i tried to put MDAC on to install those beta's. The 2nd is: I have spent a great deal of time mapping my favorite mud. Part of the only reason I got it done was because the .map format..although it had its probblems was quite easy to keep everyone using the right version on.If someone had a bettter copy of one zone they sent it out to the rest of us. I saved my self lots of time with mazes and things by spliting up the work between various people. All though i recall reading something here awhile back about plans to write some kind of plugin to keep everyone in a group synced on the map or something of that nature I get the feeling its aways off. However that would be a welcome addition to me and would probbly entice me to spend my hours downloading Zmud 6.40 on my 56k modem.

Okay, rwfrk was doing this at my request, and he's kinda reworked some of it, and then I did too...
Now, in the 'perfectionist' stage, i'm trying to figure out how to make zmud put the ['s and the ]'s and the white spaces in between into the .txt
I'm probably going to feel dumb once i get the answer, but you know... thanks for re-humbling me.

Try enclosing the %1 in double quotes. Maybe instead you will need to put it inside %quote (although %quote should not be able to solve the problem with the spaces). Or perhaps you could do:
%expand("%1", 1)
