I have a log in a seperate window.. the trigger kinda works like this
#trigger {(%w says, 'booga')} {#window chat (%1)}

Soo.. in teh window I get
Hotdog says, 'booga'

But in the mud, where he actually said it could be 3 pages up,
Is there a way to anchor The point in the buffer where he said booga, and when you click on the new windows 'Hotdog says, 'booga'' it will take you to the anchor?

?...if i understand ya, you want to click on the 2nd window and make the 1st one scroll up?
far as I know, nope.
Just have to do a "find" for that.

it's probably possible to be done using bookmarking or the likes, but i wouldn't even know where to start with something like that.

Bookmarking...wtf?...
Are u talking about zmud? or a web browser?

one way now that I think about it...
MAYBE, set the info in the second window with #menu Edit/Find or something..and with an #mxp as part of a send or something...
danged if i know.

There's no way to manipulate the text in the scrollback buffer and thus no way to set bookmarks. However, you should be able to move the scrollback buffer to the line in question using the #SCROLL command. Something along the lines of:

#trigger {(%w says "booga")} {#MXP <send ':window:#SCROLL %1'>%1</send>}

Totally untested and I have no experience with #SCROLL.

Tho actually, this way didnt quite work for me. It spammed the hell outta me with an infinite loop.

A suggestion would be to turn off triggers along with the #mxp otherwise the booga screen will get filled with repeats

#SCROLL pattern

returns ALL items in the buffer matching the pattern. Looks like you'll need to preference it such as

#SCROLL pattern 1 1

That should show the last item matching the pattern. (untested)

Thanks to Matt for once again providing great info!
