ok i'm trying to capture one of the channels that begins..
<Inlocodeus>
I want to capture this and only this in a seperate window so I made a trigger...
Pattern: <%w>
Value:#capture Open

Now the problem is that when i type who, some of the class names are is the same <%w> format and so they get captured too. What i want to know is how do i make it only capture the channel and not everything else?
I'm on zMUD 6.40 if that helps any.

To add to this if you have any posts that have asked this already please try to point them out to me.

Can you give a few lines of sample mud output to illustrate this?

Instead of putting %w that matches any word, put the text that you want it to match specifically. So, the pattern would be:
<Inlocodeus>

output would be very helpful, but i'm going to make a guess, and say that when <word> appears in the wholist its not the first word on the line, and for the channel it is.

if this is true, then use the ^ character to anchor your capture trigger to the beginning of the line:

#tr {^~<%w~>} {#cap Open}

if in both cases the <word> appears at the start of the line, then here is a second option:

#alias who {#t- cap;~who;#wait;#t+ cap}
#tr "cap" {~<%w~>} {#cap Open}

and, in the third case, if the <word> pattern in the channel is not the first item on the line, try to use the pattern that comes before it in your capture trigger.

OK thank you that ^ did it
the <%w> * is actually a players name then text. Tested and now works Thank you again for your help.

Somewhat new butr on the same line sorta.
different pattern imm's names are in cyan while there text color can be whatever. Is there a way to make it capture only if it is a certain color?

There is an ANSI option to triggers but we'd need real output to match it.

Check the ANSI option in the trigger then cut/paste the colored output
you want to match into the trigger and modify it. You should see things with
%e's in them.

Example of a copy/paste of my health bar cyan/blue
%e[1;34m %e[1;36m100%e[1;34m/100

Ok not totally sure what you mean by output.
Name: test.
ok now Ladon is in a light cyan
the : it white
and the test is a dark red

Now to capture this i have:
Pattern: ^%w:
Value: #capture Open
Basically what it is, is any thing that is
^%w: gets grabbed but, I only want it to grab the ppl talking on that channel the way i have it now it picks up cyntax: and channels: but these are green. which gave me the idea why not trigger it to the color of the channel then there would be no way for it to grab the syntax: or channels:
If i'm just going in circles i'm sorry.
... Actually how would i set up a possible if statement that if its cyan in color to capture it if not do nothing? that might work but i don't know how to do that I'm still on basics.

Guessing the colors here but the concept would be

quote:

Name: test.
ok now Ladon is in a light cyan
the : it white
and the test is a dark red

So a trigger with the Ansi option toggled to capture this kind of color:
Pattern ^%e[1;36m%w%e[1;37m~:%e[0;31m
Value: #capture Open
Options: [x] Ansi trigger

Same trigger you had but with the ansi color codes in it.

Ok that worked great had to remove the last part cause it didn't match. I have one last question. Is there a list of what numbers match what colors? Right now, going off of what you showed me I can only find bright green, gold, dark blue, purple,

Getting such a list shouldn't be necessary... if you copy the text from the zMUD window and then paste it into a trigger pattern with Control-V _after_ selecting ANSI trigger on the options tab, then zMUD will copy the correct codes in from the output.

If you need to see these codes manually, you can turn off color emulation (View, Preferences, General, click + next to General, Emulation, uncheck Emulate control codes.) This will make it so zMUD does not parse color directives but outputs the codes to the screen so you can see them.

If you really do need a list of colors, then look here*. The reason I don't think this is an especially good way to go about this is that different color code sequences can give you the same coloring so just knowing a color sequence that will work may not be sufficient to make a trigger for it.

* In addition to the color codes listed here, zMUD will also accept colors in the 50-57 range, interpreting 5x as 3x;1. However, if a MUD uses this range then it is really only catering to zMUD since it is not standardized as this.
