#cap issues
 
I'm capturing chat text and sending it to a different window by using:

#trigger ~(newbie~)
#cap Chat; gag

The text is being captured and send to the new window but there are still a couple of issues I would like to resolve. They are:

1) I still receive a linefeed. The text is sent to the new window but the linefeed is sent to the main window, causing a new prompt line to appear. How do I disable the linefeed feature?

2) Long lines of text are split. The first part goes to the new window but the remainder is sent to the main window. I have tried using {#cap -1 Chat; gag} but it doesn't fix the problem. What is the solution?

1. This is an annoying problem. sometimes using #GAG 0 will help instead of just #gag.

2. This is caused because your mud is sending you the chat on multiple lines. Meaning they are doing line breaks. See if your mud has a option to disable line wrapping so you can let zmud perform line wrapping. If not, you'll have to find another solution. do a search in the forums on multi-line gag. you should find a lot of post on this. One common method is if your mud sends a prompt after the chat. you could start gaging all line, create a temp trigger to stop gagging when the mud sends the next prompt.

Hope this helps
