I have set up a timer to send the health command every 3 seconds. A trigger then reads the result of the command and sends it to a notepad window. The problem is that when it is omitted from output, it still scrolls on my screen. Is there a way to omit something from output and not scroll?

Please help us by advising the version of MUSHclient you are using. Use the Help menu -> About MUSHclient.

I have tried creating a trigger where the regexp = ^$ and omitted that from output but that bunches everything together. I just want to remove something from output and not put anything in its place. No text, no extra line, etc.
An idea I had was to set up a script that sends a one-shot trigger that omits the blank line. not sure if that will work. I will give it a try though. Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks

You could direct what you're trying omit to a separate world, with a chat_redirector plugin. I use this method to log channels and have been trying to figure out a solution to the same omitting problem you're talking about when this suddenly dawned upon me lol :P :)
This has cropped up a few times, and the basic problem is that the server actually sends two lines. It works a bit like this:
You have a prompt:
... where the cursor is at the X position.
Now the MUD needs to send a chat down, so it knows the cursor is half-way through a line so it sends:
Two newlines, you see? Now the chat message and its final newline get omitted, but the first newline has triggered another line. Thus you may see a blank line.
Personally I just use the "omit blank lines" plugin, and put up with the display being a bit squashed.
