Hi,
I am trying to capture notes and other miscellaneous information from zmud to a file called notes.txt. I have the following alias set up.

Name: write

#fi 1 notes.txt
#wr 1 %1
#cl 1

This seems to capture single words, but will not work with multiple words and sentences. I have tried various other combinations of wildcards and cannot seem to get it to work.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You are just missing the curly queue brackets
in your #WRITE command.

quote:

#WRITE examples
#WRI 1 {logged onto Dark Castle}
append the string to the end of text file number 1.

#WRI 6 {this is record 3} 3
writes the string as the third record in file 6.

#FILE 1 notes.txt
#WRITE {1 %1}
#CLOSE 1

Thanks for the prompt reply Ton,

I tried adding the brackets, but it still does not seem to work. Any other suggestions?

since you are using a alias you need to use %-1 to capture everything you type after the alias

I just baked. If you look at the help file
example you need to have the file number outside
of the brackets.

#WRITE 1 {%-1}

As Gandorf points out you need the %-1 to capture all parameters passed to your alias.
