How do i capture multiple lines a mud on with no form of punctuation? I want to be able to capture lines from different channels but can't figure out how to do it with no punctuation and no indentation on multiple lines.

Example of channels in the mud:

Bob tells you: Hey hows it going today
did you find what you were looking for

It allows lines longer than i just shortened it for this example. Though all channels are followed by a blank line, but i'm not sure how to use that to end my capture.

Edit: Ok so i looked around some and saw nexela had posted a solution

#TRIGGER "CapTell" {%x tells you: (*)} {#CAP Tell}
#COND {(*)} {#IF (!%null( "%1")) {#CAP tell} {#STATE CapTell 0}}

But this will not capture more than two lines. If someone sends me a tell of 3 lines or more it only captures the first two. Can someone help me?

you should use #STATE 1, which resets the condition to being in charge, by default it will go back to state 0 after the last trigger state fires already
the condition should also be using the within lines option set to one, so it only tests one line at a time, instead of just waiting for the condition pattern indefinitely... not that thats an issue with the pattern of your condition though

#TRIGGER "CapTell" {%x tells you: (*)} {#CAP Tell}
#COND {(*)} {#IF (!%null( "%1")) {#CAP tell} {#STATE CapTell 1}} {within|param=1}

Thanks a lot, but for some reason this still will only capture 2 lines of a tell on my mud even if they send more than 2. I just can't figure it out.

So i figured i might go for something easier, how would i capture everything between two certain lines?

Someone tells you: hows it going today?
You reply: not bad

I want to capture everything between:

and

you can use #C+ and #C-

I guess this could relate to an issue I'm having.. I have a script that accesses Alexians database for Realms of Despair.. the first part works fine, but when I try to use the second one, it cuts off some of the ident's from a larger (longer) item.
first one:

#TR {line starting the capture} {#C+ windowName}
#TR {line ending capture} {#C-}
