I'm currently using zmudv4.62. Pretty old version but i get used to the inteface and was too lazy to move it to the newer ones..

I wonder if this version of zmud (or any other versions) can capture the line recevied from mud with the color code (%e[1m etc) attached? The predefined variable %line only captures the characters.

Another question is, is there a method to trigger a specific pattern in a line one by one?
eg. I've got a pattern: "aaabbab"
What I want to do is, whenever i see "a" or "b", i replace it with a character. eg. the variable @line1 is originally empty. When i see "a" in the line, i attach "1" to the end of @line1; when i see "b" i attach "2" etc. So in the example above, attaching "1" will be executed 4 times in total.
Ofcoz my real problem is not that simple. It involes color stuff.. so I cannot store the whole line first and replace characters afterwards. Instead I have to do it at run time Sad

. Unless I have a way to solve my first problem...

Thanks for reading =)

I think you need to be more specific with your exampls.
Trying to trigger of every 'a' would take up alot of cpu usage and make the screen scrol really slow.
However if your detrmined to do it here is just ONE way of doing it.

#trig {({a|A})} {#sub a1}

This is certainly possible with version 5.55 and later. It was probably possible with at least some of the earlier versions also, quite possibly including version 4.62, but I'm too lazy to check the version history to find out when the ANSI trigger option was added. You can check for yourself easier than I can do it for you.

Both #CW and #SUB do this, possibly others. Some of them might be available in version 4.62, others might not. You'll have to check for yourself. Megamog already gave you about as good an answer as you're likely to get without letting us know the "real problem".

Since you've decided to remain with an outdated version for several years past its replacement, you need to accept that you are now the expert on what's available in your version. Most of us probably don't know and don't have any way to check.
