Hi folks, I'm not very good at this so muddling my way through.

I'm looking to capture an outputted list from the mud automatically into a stringlist, for highlighting and use later.

The list outputs like this:

1)this is a good (albeit a tad advanced) situation for a multi-state trigger. These are like several triggers chained together so that they are guaranteed to fire in order, whereas separate triggers like your example might misfire on the same line or even fire on lines you don't want them to fire on or fire in situations you don't want them to. They are a very nifty and very powerful tool, so you might want to make it a point to learn and get familiar with them.

2)There isn't any #REPLACE command, just a %replace() function. That might make for a good suggestion for CMud, though.

3)Trigger patterns only match on the first instance of the pattern text. You are trying to do a repeating loop with your pattern of (%w),, but such functionality only exists in CMud. In ZMud, if you want to loop a pattern within the same line, you have to capture the entire line and do the parsing in the script code.

Thanks!

I'm going to take a look at it now.

I'm doing my best to learn what I use, so I hate just copying and pasting a script, yay, it does what I want, but I need to learn how to use it myself.

I haven't done much with the #condition so I shall have a go and see.

Again, thank you very much!

Okay.

Imported and tested, it works, but it does what mine did, saves the first enemy off each line and isn't parsing the whole lot.

Whoops, missed placing double-quotes around the %1 in the replace. Without them, ZMud was using just the first three names to do the replace and totally ignoring the rest of the arguments I included. Fix that typo and things should work perfectly.

Sorry this took me so long to work on.

I've tweaked the code as you said and am now getting nothing

You did make a mistake. You rearranged the code I gave you by first creating the trigger from the #TRIGGER (probably by using the Settings Editor window or by selecting the code for the #TRIGGER and then moving that trigger to the Tracker class) and then pasting the #CONDITION in that trigger's code box. Go ahead and delete every setting in that class.

Then select everything in the code box I gave you, paste it to the commandline, press enter, and edit the resulting variable and trigger as necessary.

this is what I use. You should be able to modify it.

This should do what you require:

#CLASS {tracker}
#VAR clannames {the Ebon Fist}
#VAR Houseenemies {}
#TRIGGER {Enemies of @ClanNames:} {Houseenemies=%null}
#COND {!%match( %line,"Total:")} {#additem Houseenemies {%line}} {loopexp|param=15}
#COND {%match( %line,"Total:")} {#var Houseenemies {%replace( %replace( @Houseenemies, ",", ""), " ", "|")}} {exp|param=1|nocr}
#CLASS 0
