Hey all,

I've tried to read and experiment with the tutorials, example scripts, etc. to do what I'm sure for most of you will seem a fairly simple task. Unfortunately, all I've managed to do is totally mess up the MUD output.

Anyway - what I'm trying do, simply is take some output from the MUD, like:

This is a heavy leather brown back pack. It has all sorts of pockets for putting things in and the inside is especially deep for storing small weapons and a bedroll.
The hunter's pack has two side pockets and one main pocket.
It is over half full with: four lightable torches, a small piece of paper, a cotton pinafore, a pair of heavy cotton breeches, a mostly rotten large loaf of bread, a white desert robe, a sickle, a meat cleaver, a dagger, a cured steak, an unsharpened spear and a lantern.
It is open.
It is in excellent condition.

I simply want to highlight or color everything after:

The hunter's pack has two side pockets and one main pocket.

and end the coloring before:

It is open.

Most of the things I want to do on the MUD are pretty much similar to this.

One other example is I want to colorize only a portion of a line from the MUD:

Your purse contains one Ankh-Morpork dollar and 47 Ankh-Morpork pence.

Having 'Your purse contains' be one color, and everything after that be another color

Any suggestions, pointers to examples, etc...most welcome and appreciated. Thanks in advance for reading!

#trigger {It is over half full with: (*).} {#pcol %x1 add your color value here (depending on what you want, this could be words or a number (without quotes)--ie, "blue,bold" or "96")}
