I am using zmud 6.66 beta

I need a trigger that detects an ENTIRE line of yellow color. I am using this trigger at the moment

#TRIGGER {^%e[1;33m(*)$} {do something} "" {color}

However, this trigger detect all lines that START with yellow, including other color text on the same line. How can I modify it to detect on the ENTIRE line of that color?

Thanks.

That was exactly how I created it. But I needed to show what my trigger is to ask my question, and therefore I have exported it out to text and copy and paste as above.

That does not answer my question. My question is how to modify the trigger to detect ENTIRE line of the same color, currently, the trigger fires on any line that STARTS with that color. Without the ^, it fires on any line that contains that color in anywhere of the line.

I need to use (*) here, as I will use it as %1 to do something.

Pure conjecture, if your testing is right, that the (*) is capturing color changes. How about try the line color option in the triggers?

#TRIGGER {^(*)$} {#SHOW %ansi(blue)That was yellow.} "" {line=14}

I tried out the Line Color option, and it seems to be working the same way as the #TRIGGER {^%e[1;33m(*)$} {do something} "" {color}, detecting all lines that STARTS with that color. TonDiening, would it be possible for you to test it out to see if you get the same thing?

I begin to wonder if this is a beta bug or just no way to do it.

Thanks.

The Line Color option is supposed to match any line which STARTS with the specified color. This is correct behavior.

Clearly, the * matches more than you want. You'll have to find (or make) a more restrictive wildcard. You should probably consider using the [range] wildcard.

If your mud ends every line with the code to return the line color to default then this might work.

#TRIGGER {^%e[1;33m(*)%e[0m$} {#IF (%pos( %e[, "%1")) {#NOOP} {do_something}} "" {color}
