I got a -maybe- silly question but I do not find an answer.

What I want to do is send a command like look to the MUD. The MUD responds with a description of the room which is exactly one response. How do I get this response to a variable ?

Thx

Make an alias to toggle the capturing and send the command.
Either additem each line or concat it all together.
Have a trigger that makes sense to stop the capturing.

#ALIAS GrabDesc {#VAR CapturedThing "";#TEMP {^~<My Prompt is a good trigger to stop the capture} {#UNTRIGGER CaptureItAll};#TRIGGER CaptureItAll {^(*)} {#VAR CapturedThing %additem("%1",@CapturedThing)};#SEND look}

Can't get it to work with zMud 6.16. Does the ID-Flag in #TRIGGER exist in 6.16 or only in later versions?

Just tested it and what is happening is that the line
#TRIGGER CaptureItAll {^(*)} {#VAR CapturedThing %additem("%1",@CapturedThing)}

when created with default zmud settings it gets parsed to
#TRIGGER CaptureItAll {^(*)} {#VAR CapturedThing %1}

and my order of things was faulty by having the look sent after #TEMP trigger as in normal muds the look would show up on the prompt line and trip the #TEMP trigger.

I tested/modified things on a random diku mud.

1)
Then to keep things simple, in the settings editor make a trigger:
Pattern tab:
Pattern: ^(*)
Value:CapturedThing=%additem( "%1", @CapturedThing)

Options Tab:
ID: CaptureItAll

2)
Paste into your command line:
#T- CaptureItAll
#ALIAS GrabDesc {#VAR CapturedThing "";look;#TEMP {^(%d)Hp} {#T- CaptureItAll};#T+ CaptureItAll}

This gets around the issue with the parsing which strips the %additem. This should get you working and I'll review it when I get home.
