Logging certain Lines to a file
|
Looking through the archives, and reading through the help files, I have come up with this as a trigger.
Pattern:
| Code: |
| ^~(In Character~) (*) [says][say] ~*~*~*(*)~*~*~* |
Value::
| Code: |
#FI 1 "C:Zmud"%time( mm-dd-yy)".txt"
#write 1 %time( hh:nn:ss) ~(%1~) %2 %3 %4
#Close 2 |
It works wonderfully except that if the string has a word with a comma at the end of it,(such as that) it will stop the "logging" of that line to the file. Any help would be appreciated.

Put {} around the text being written.
#WRITE 1 {%time( hh:nn:ss) ~(%1~) %2}
You have some other mistakes.
You open file 1 but close file 2. Unless you are using file 1 for other purposes, you don't really need to close it until the end of a session. But if you are going to close it, you have to close 1
Your pattern has [says][say]. These both match exactly the same set of characters and will match any number (starting with one) of those characters. [asy] is all that's needed to match either "say" or "says"
Your pattern only has parentheses around two sections (the two * wildcards) so only %1 and %2 are defined. Your value also uses %3 and %4, but these are meaningless and can (and should) be removed. |

Thank you much for your help. It works perfect now.
I was unknowing of the syntax of the matching scheme and the extra variables were for something I was trying when trying to get it to recognize stuff after the comma.
Thanks again.
