I use a trigger to send all tells to a seperate window....

pattern = tells you

Command is:

#CAP tell
#GAG 0

(I put the 0 in there cause I saw it while looking through other posts for this answer, but that didn't work either)

First problem - If the tell is more than one line, only the first line goes to the new windo the rest goes back to the main window.

Second - Even small lines where all the text goes to the tell window, I still get a return line in the main window. In other words, just the prompt then a blank line. like such

830h, 0m cdei([{-}])

This is a copy of what I mean

In main window I see

830h, 0m cdei([{-}])
I'll get some nice ones".

In the Tells windo I got

Somebody tells you, "True! I'm having surgery on the 16th... Hopefully

I hope that enough info, thanks.

Oh and by the way, I have this same gag problem (with the return line that is)even if I don't send it to anouther window or such, quite a pain.

Actually, the reason you have that "extra" return is because the mud double-spaces the output. #GAG will gag everything on that line up to and including ONE return (the second return used to space lines is left alone).

Using $ as a place-holder, this is how it looks:

This line gets gagged.$ <--#GAG eats this return
$ <--#GAG doesn't touch this one

Fortunately, you do have an easy and elegant option in multi-state triggers, unless your mud coders are rather forgetful or evil.

#trigger {your original pattern} {your original code}
#condition {^$} {#gag}

The first condition (what you orginally had) does what you want, and the second condition catches the leftovers.
