Hi, I just wanted to know if capturing colored text is possible.. what i mean is:

if i wanted to capture red text like this:
TEST
my client would capture it in a new window

but if it does not match the color: (example)
TEST
'then it just ignores it

I was wondering what i would put in the #if statement in the script. Thanks!

If the text appears in multiple colors then i would remove the color option from the trigger so that it can capture any color.

no, i think i might have typed it wrong.. what i meant was, how do i make it so that it captures every sentence that's coloured red and if it's not make it ignore the sentence?

You wouldn't put it in any #IF command at all. You would want to use a #TRIGGER, with the ANSI Trigger option checked on. In ZMud, if I remember, you have to explicitly type in the ansi color code because it won't autopaste it in like in CMud.

What is ANSI??

ANSI is basically the escape Codes use in most muds to determine the color of the Text and Background, some muds go overboard and cause blindness with too much "ansi" in there text.
:) but anyways....

Zmud is tricky capturing ansi, first you have to open the editor window, then choose Raw text, then copy your colored text from the mud window, paste into that window
and then create new trigger in the settings windows, CHECK the ANSI box, then Paste trigger....
it won't work if you don't do everything in a certain order, and yes CMUD is much smarter :)

no guarantees...
