| I want to be able to capture information from the mud and print it to a text file. I know that Mushclient has this ability built in, but i want to be able to send certain lines to different files ect.
Once i understand how this is done i think i can work on making all the other ones I need/want.
To do this will I need to trigger off the text and pass the line to a script? I am guessing lua has some built in input/output functions i will need to open a file and write to it?
The pattern is
Joe tells you 'hello'
Trigger --> * tells you '*'
I want to capture this line to a file called tells.txt
and i do not want to omit it from the output to the screen.
Thanks in advanced

| Have you looked at logging? Or "send to notepad"?
You just make a trigger, send the matching text to "notepad" and one or more notepad windows can be written (you have to save them yourself).
Or, using logging, it is saved on-the-fly.
Or if you want to script the whole thing, see:
http://www.gammon.com.au/scripts/doc.php?lua=io.output
You could use f:write to write data on a matching trigger, making sure you open the file at some point. |

| Okay, so i started to work on this and i set something up that will log chat (says,tells,group tells, clan tells, shouts, ect.) to a notepad.
I also made another trigger that outputs gear worn by characters and mobs, as well as gear i have that decays into another notepad.
Finally I created a notepad that receives group information. If someone gets effected by something in a fight and gets lost in spam ect its output the the notepad.
I than made a script to resize all the windows, it worked.
The problem is my output to the notepads was not adding a new line.
This is what the trigger and code looks like for one example.
Trigger : <(@!gear_slot)>\s+(.+) -- matches a gear slot and whats worn i have a variable gear_slot with all the gear slots listed
Script:
AppendToNotepad("Gear_stuff","<","%1",">","\\t","%2","\\n")
This however does not print a newline.
When trying to resolve this I noticed some people use dummy worlds to receive output. I tried this and it takes care of the newline issue. However i am at a loss on how to resize multiple world windows in lua scripting.
Thanks

| | Notepad windows need \r\n to make a new line (or in send-to-script it would be \\r\\n). |

| Thank you Nick.
Worked perfectly, now I don't need to worry about resizing and moving multiple worlds.
