Firstly, a hello! to everyone~ who view this message. I'm very new to zmud, just started using it a few days ago.
Basically I need help capturing data from the mud, and outputting it to a sub window in zmud and also logging the data to a text file.

I've explored zmud a bit and managed to set up triggers to get the information i've required, but i couldn't find a way to log that specific amount of text except manually.

Triggers on "night has come".
Activated commands are "weather" and "time"

Weather yields this information:
You see the constellation Pisces in the center of the sky.
The crescent waning Lunitari glows red in the sky.
The gibbous waxing Solinari showers you with its silvery light.
The crescent waxing Nuitari emits an eerie aura, sending chills down your spine.

Time yields this information:
It is 8 o'clock pm, Day of the Great Gods, 20th the Month of Pisces, 983AD.
Lost Dragon Chronicles started up at Tue Jun 22 03:40:21 2004
The current time is Wed Jun 23 22:17:09 2004

I would really fancy some help, but would even appreciate it more, if the help given is simple enough to understand. I'm not really a whiz at understanding some things. Smile

walkthroughs for dummies would do~~

Take a look at #window and #capture in the help files.

Somthing as simple as:
#trigger {You see the constellation (%w) in the (%w) of the sky.} {#window weather}
Not saying that would work exactly but just some idea of what you might be looking for.

Set up a capture trigger for each line. The patterns should contain enough information so that only the desired lines will be captured, but don't need to include the entire line. Run a log from the capture window.
#AL {atconnect} {#CAP Weather;:Weather:#LOG weather.txt}
#TR {You see * in * the sky} {#CAP Weather}
#TR {Lunitari glows red in the sky} {#CAP Weather}
#TR {Solinari showers you with its silvery light} {#CAP Weather}
#TR {Nuitari emits an eerie aura} {#CAP Weather}
#TR {It is %d o'clock} {#CAP Weather}
#TR {Lost Dragon Chronicles started up at} {#CAP Weather}
#TR {The current time is} {#CAP Weather}

Many people prefer to remove information from the main window if they are displaying it elsewhere. This may be done by adding a #GAG command to each trigger.
