Im having a very strange issue using the #sub command.

Im using a trigger to remove and replace colors for public lines on a mud I play on.

This is the trigger as it stands currently

[i]#TRIGGER {^(%w) ~<auction~> (*)%cr} {#SUB {%ansi(gray)%1 <C violet>~(auction~)</C>%ansi(gray) %2}}[/i]

Now this seems to work fine for one line, but then fails on the next (stripping the <auction> part of the line in the process) so it ends up looking something like this...

Jacob (auction) Anyone want to buy a ring of forgetfullness??
Janet How much
Lazurius (auction) me, me, me
Jacob make an offer Janet
Janet (auction) 20k

All of this was on the auction line, however if i were to press enter after a working line, the trigger would continue to work on the next line.

Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this. Im Using verion 7.05 btw

I think it is because you have the %cr in your trigger line. Remove it and try it.

Nope, it still dosent seem to work correctly when removing the %cr

I think it was actually added while trying to debug it

(btw adding a %cr to the end of the #SUB part of the trigger actually makes it work, but generates and extra blank line between the lines)

Try quoting the mxp refrences *untested*

#SUB {%ansi(gray)%1 ~<C violet~>~(auction~)~</C~>%ansi(gray) %2}

daala,
I have tested your above trigger and I am not getting the same results you are. I would suggest you turn off all other triggers you have and see if you get the same results. If it suddenly starts working correctly then you have another trigger that is messing up the output.

I noticed this using the mxp tags on a substitute I wrote a while back, wasn't that big of deal I just switched to using %ansi so I really didn't look into but I did notice it will work the way you want if you disable mxp/html under telnet options.

Thanks Jessew

As soon as i disabled the MXP option the trigger works exactly as expected.

Thanks for all you help everyone :)
