Simple question
 
Please forgive the simple question but being an absolute newb to this I am running into a little problem.

I am trying to display the time that a tell is sent to me in my tell window, but I seem to be screwing it up.

Here is what the Mud is sending

guide tells you, 'Bludwolf - you've already COMPLETED my quest.'


I can send it to my tell window with the following

#CAP tell
#GAG

ok no problem

But I would also like to display the time that the tell was sent for example

Sunday August 21, 2005 10:11:50 pm- guide tells you, 'Bludwolf - you've already COMPLETED my quest.'

I tried the following but it did not work

#CAP tell
#echo %time
#GAG

I am obviusly doing something wrong but I am not sure what

Thanks for any input

#TRIGGER {(%w) tells you, '(%*)'$} {:tell: #SHOW %time() - %1 tells you, '%2'}
