So Zmud help says to capture tells to a seperate window, I should use this trigger:
#TRIGGER {tells you} {#CAP tell;#GAG}

However, I would like to insert a time stamp on the same line as the tell in the other window so it would look like this:
15:43:23 - ABC tells you blah blah blah
or somesuch...

Any ideas?

#tr {(%w) tells you (*)} {#win Tells ({%time (t)- %1 tells you: %2};#gag}

Should do it. Check the }'s and )'s. for I r teh suq, when it comes to closing commands.

Just insert the timestamp ahead of the capture.
#TR {tells you} {:tell:#SAYP %time(hh:nn:ss) - ;#CAP tell;#GAG}

Thanks for the incredibly fast response guys! Worked like a charm...

I do have another question though.

I used Kaishaku's syntax for the most part (I decided NOT to gag it from my main window though, so I removed the #gag part), and I'm wondering how I can recolor the lines in the capture window. At the moment, the whole line shows up as cyan colored. Say I wanted the timestamp to be cyan, the teller to be in bright red and the tell itself to be in bright green, what would I have to add?

I've played around with pcolor, but it changes the color in the main window, not the captured, and I don't know how to tell it where to stop recoloring either. The syntax in the help file says to use XStart and XEnd as arguments, but I don't understand what should go in those arguments, or how to format them.

You could use #win instead of #cap.

#TR {(%w) tells you (*)} {#WIN tell {%ansi(cyan,bright)%time(hh:nn:ss) %ansi(black,bright)- %ansi(green,bright)%1 %ansi(default)tells you %ansi(red,bright)%2}}

I've used both and still continue to do with my channel/info capture script. Hope that helps.

I included #GAG because you had it in your own example.

#WINDOW is best when you want to assign your own choice of colors. #CAPTURE is best when you want to preserve the original colors from the MUD.
