basically the problem is the mud wordwrapping as usual.

So im pondering a script to grab the text, reformat it and push it through my triggers.

the format is name says to you in xyllic: I have seen a red-haired green-eyed male elf, a brown-haired short female gnome.

You can imagine the easy way is to just trigger on the descs and substitute it with #psub or similar to a name.

But due to word wrap, some descs can come out like red-haired on one line then green-eyed male elf on the next line.

So i need to design a script that takes the text, and reformats it into one where it wraps after Race or something similar.

Anyone able to help me out?

No, I can't imagine. Go ahead and explain what you want to do with a "red-haired green-eyed male elf" that you wouldn't want to do with elves of other hair and eye colors.

#trigger {red-eyed blond male elf} {#psub Lench}

think thats right format, so next time the mud throws me red-eyed blond male elf i'll see Lench

But sometimes the mud wordwraps it into red-eyed on one line and blond male elf on next or red-eyed blond on one and male elf on next.

But i wonder if there is a way to unwrap the lines and reformat them.

Does you Mud have an option to turn off the word wrapping so you can allow zmud to wrap instead. Many muds have this option and it really helps solve a lot of these issues.

You don't need #PSUB for this. #SUB is better suited anyway.
#TR {red-eyed blond male elf} {#SUB Lench}

wont i need #psub since a sentance can contain more descs? tought #sub changed the entire line.

And afraid not the mud does not have a wordwrap option yet, i asked the admins to add one tho. *crossing fingers*

No, #SUB replaces the matched pattern.
