Greets, maybe some of you can help.
I have the following trouble

I need to check every line that mud sends to me with a huge list of other lines (stored in a file). and if lines doesnt exist in a list i need get a beep.

I tried to find anything in help files or on this forum - but alas..
Please help.

I recommend putting the list in a variable. Comparing every line to a huge list will be slow enough without having to go through a file everytime to do it.

#FILE 1 lines.txt
#VAR lines {}
#LOOP 1,%filesize( 1) {#ADDITEM lines {%read( 1, %i)}}
#CLOSE 1
#TR {(*)} {#IF (%ismember( "%1", @lines)) {} {#BEEP}}

Seems i have not slightest clue how it should work.

I will describe my brob in mud:
We have rules preventing us from afk practising,
And those who check if one practices afk send different emotes, questions etc. people here made triggers on most popular questions like "Are you here?" or "Do you prac afk?" but then immortals started to add random spaces into phrases. So it is now totaly imposible to make right patters for triggers.

So my idea was to create the file with all the lines mud sends by default. (it is not THAT large list of lines, probavly 20 or 30, with deaf mode on and prompts off) and then make a trigger that considers everything comes from mud with these standart lines. And if mud sends something different I get alert.
