Hi again,

just wondering, can you open multiple logs at the same time?
I'm hoping to have a map log, and an event log open at the same time
and didn't know if this was possible.

as for the map log, I'd like to just capture the room exit msg
when folling a person, since i cant get the automapper working on
my mud.

the trigger is easy..."you follow fred west."
You follow %1 %2

what i'd like to do is just capture the %2 variable to a log
or something, and NOT see all the room descriptions and actions.

...if not to a log, could i capture this any other way, besides
capturing to a window and logging the window...(can that be done?)

so my log file would look something like this..

west,north,west,west, Through the gate....etc.

Thanks again for any help,
G.

In your case, it would probably be simpler to use the #FILE command to open a sequential file and then use #WRITE in a trigger.
#FI 1 follow
#TR {You follow %w (*).} {#WRI 1 %1}

A log records everything that happens in a window, according to how your Logging prefs are set. It might be possible to open multiple logs from the same window but it wouldn't make much sense, since they would all have the same prefs and therefore would all record exactly the same thing.

It is possible to open different logs from multiple windows. What goes in each log is then controlled by controlling what is displayed in each window.

As an add-on to this, how would you take a line containing a certain couple of words (In Character) and put it in a file?

Thanks

~~#VAR~~ #TR {^(~(In Character~) *)} {#WRITE 1 {%1}}

EDIT: Corrected command

Or for Any words, just make an alias,
#alias file (*)
value:
#file 1 hints.txt
#wri 1 %1
#close

Then you should be able to do this

file "john says the entrance is in the castle"
..and the line would go to your file 1

You may need a period after the file(*). part, or it may
lose the last word, not sure on this tho
Hope this helps,
