Ok guys, im new to Zmud, and am using 7.13.

Im trying to capture multi-line tells to another window. Now i have two queries about this:

1) I tried using
#CAPTURE tell
#TEMP {$} {#C-}
#C+ tell
#gag

as advised in another post, but this is still only capturing the first line. any ideas? Also, it doesnt seem to be gagging the text, AND (just to finish it off) it keeps producing triggers called $ multiple times.

Secondly, id like to set it so that when it captures the tell window doesnt actually take the focus.

Thanks for any help guys

I believe there are a few generic tell capture scripts in the finished forum that may be worth taking a look at.

Ok thats great. Had a quick look this morning, although it didnt really seem to work. Will have a closer look this evening when i get home.

Any ideas on the focus issue however?

I use the #CAPTURE option and the focus stays on the main window without doing anything extra.

I used to use the #WINDOW command, which does set the focus to that window, and when I did that, I just added another #WINDOW command at the end, with the name of the main window after it.

Ive found that (with the single line captures, anway) when i receive a tell (the initial one mainly) it takes the focus from the command line, and when i type it starts opening the menus, etc.

I've got a similar case where I need multiline capture. I'm using this script to capture auction data:

Artanis:

You can #GAG the capture off and on lines, but if the auction is always 2 lines use a conditional trigger
#TRIGGER {^AUCTION:} {#CAP Auction;#GAG}
#COND {} {#CAP Auction;#GAG} {within|param=1}

I use this method for my capture script:

hahaha. In reviewing the code I just posted, I found my own problem! While I saved the capture, I forgot to update the window output (it's still displaying %2 instead of @lastcap). Or more likely I had updated it, but forgot to save my work and lost it in a zMUD crash (happens to me often)... anyway... the above system should work perfectly, just make sure to display @lastcap (as in the tell example)

One final note.. updated (fixed) vers of the script I mentioned is:

http://www.freewebs.com/atreidess1/Captures_2.4.rar

It's a very simple script, so not really needed, but if you're having that much trouble, you can just try to convert this one to your needs.

Fergal1982,

I'd use something like this:

#TRIGGER "multilinecapture" {^%w tells you, ~"} {:tells:#sayp %time( hh:mm)%char( 32);#temp multilinecaptureend {~"$} {#state multilinecapture 0};#cap tells;#gag}
#COND {} {#cap tells;#gag} {looppat}

Multiline trigger that captures things to a window (used window tells) till it sees a " at the end of the line.
I threw in a time stamper as well as Lightbulb often uses.[/code]

ton, it didnt work Crying or Very sad

zmud seemed to accept it fine, but didnt do anything on a tell

Wanderer Joined: 08 Aug 2005 Posts: 70

stand corrected, it just needed me to log out and back in again for some reason. how do i go about removing the time stamp? to leave the trigger intact?

GURU Joined: 26 Jul 2001 Posts: 1958 Location: Canada

Strip out the time stamp line:

:tells:#sayp %time( hh:mm)%char( 32);

Dammit - now it wont work again. im using

Manually it is:
:tells:#clr

Then you can incorporate that where ever:
#alias tellclear {:tells:#clr}

Thanks. Works a charm. now, to modify to to capture other text, simple enough.

Sorry, gonna have to break my promise (sigh). Same situation, different text. It starts off:

Wanderer Joined: 08 Aug 2005 Posts: 70

sorry again guys.

how do you put exceptions into the code? for instance, i dont want

GURU Joined: 26 Jul 2001 Posts: 1958 Location: Canada

#TRIGGER "multilinecapture" {^%w tells you, ~"} {#temp multilinecaptureend {~"$} {#state multilinecapture 0};#cap tells;#gag}
#COND {} {#cap tells;#gag} {looppat}

Using the ^ will suffice for your exception. It matches from the start of a line a word (%w) followed by "tells you".

so that trigger can not match Bardain looks.. as the word looks is not tells.

the problem with that, is that lots of people on the MUD have prefixes (for instance, my name is phoenix, but if i tell, it comes up as 'vestige phoenix' which doesnt capture.
