It may be that it's 4 am but after reading all the posts I could find on the topic and tweaking the codes I still didn't get this to work so here goes.

my problem is i couldn't find the parameters to grab the next avalible line when the text wraps. I can get the first line and gag it in my main window .. but anything else is showing up in the main window

EX:
Player {chat}: what ever they type here and if it's too long then some of it isn't caught

after trial and error what i have is because when i start trying to improve it it dosen't work at all

#tr (~{chat}~:){
#CAP chat
#GAG
}

the other one is a tell message
#trigger {(%w) telepathically contacts you with '*'} {#var tellfrom %1;#var tellmessage %concat( %1, "' ");#t+ Tells}

#trigger {(*)} {#gag
#if (!%begins( %trigger, "@tellfrom telepathically contacts you with")) {#var tellmessage %concat( @tellmessage, %replace( %trigger, %char( 34), "'"), " ")}
#if (%ends( %trigger, %char( 34))) {#win Tells @tellmessage;#t- Tells } } "Tells"

it gags everything and nothing goes to the window

Thanks in advance

For the chat message, is there some difference between the second line in the chat message and other lines from the MUD? Is it perhaps indented with some amount of whitespace, a specific color, or perhaps it comes right after the first line of the chat message but there is a blank line right after the last line?

As for the tells trigger, there are a few problems. However, there is no reason to make it so complex. Here is a simpler version:
#TRIGGER {%w telepathically contacts you with '*'} {#T+ Tells}
#TRIGGER {(*)} {#CAP Tells;#GAG;#IF (%ends( %trigger, %char( 39))) {#T- Tells}} "Tells"

the chat looks like
Rhadaz {chat}: hmm dont majere know its dangerous to sleep and idle without
tp

which is verbatum from the mud

Thanks for the tell trig .. but if the text wraps (looks the same as channels) it dosen't grab it to window.

Again thanks

Just sticking with this thread cause there's more

#TR {^~[retro]~:} {#T+ retro}
#TRIGGER {(*)} {#CAP retro;#GA;#IF (%ends( %trigger, %char( 39))) {#T- retro}} "retro"

is what i tried and it captured te entire buffer to the new window
any suggestions?

You can't use the same method for chat and retro since they don't end with a '. What you are going to have to use for this is the fact that the other lines start with some spaces. Thus, when you receive a chat or retro, you need to start capturing each line that starts with spaces until you receive a line that does not have the spaces. This should work for the chats (you should be able to easily modify the pattern for retro):
#TRIGGER {^%w ~{chat~}:} {#CAP chat;#GAG;#T+ chats}
#TRIGGER {(*)} {#IF ("%1" =~ "%s*") {#CAP chat;#GAG} {#T- chats}} "chats"

You may want to modify the "%s*" pattern to "^%s%*$". Otherwise, you would match any line that has a space anywhere in it.

Yes, good catch Charbal. I forgot about that.
