When you use scroll to hunt some word, it picks the first line in the buffer with the word, but i need it to pick the last line with the word received from the mud. Can anyone help me please?

Once something is in the scrollback buffer, zMUD has no way to tell where it originated. The only way to do what you want is to limit the scrollback buffer to text received from the MUD. This can be done by turning off "Echo Commands", "Echo messages", and "Echo scripts" in your Preferences.

I was unclear. I will try to give you some examples.
#scroll hippy 40 (only five lines match in the buffer)
Mage in hippy clothes.
Mage in purple and hippy clothes.
Hippy person.
Monkey doing hippy dance.
Hippy hat.

Now if I write #scroll hippy 1, I get "Mage in hippy clothes." What should I write to get "Hippy hat."?(and only that line, nothing else)

It would appear that you can't. I'd recommend sending Zugg a bugreport on this, and finding some other way to achieve whatever you're trying to do.

You could suggest that Zugg implements a %scroll() function which does the same but returns a stringlist.. In the meantime, you can try running the #SCROLL command in an alias, to list all items, starting a trigger while its running which captures all the lines produced, gags them, and only shows the last one received.
