How do i match something like this:
Valev asks you: I am merely curious, what type of weapons do you intend
<lots of spaces>to focus on using?

It's a multiline string and i don't want to use a timer! Note all those spaces - it's always in that pattern -

SanatClaus tells you: blah blah
<space space space>some more blah
<space space space>even more blah blah, etc

In Perl i could m|^(.+)$|si and use . to match \n.

Is there a way to #IF(perl-pattern)

What i'm trying to do is put all chat and says and group says in one window and my monitor(health/gp/spell status - shield) in a seperate window and the room desc in a third - when i jump into combat mode.

2. How do i do #TRIGGER with a PERL Regex from cmd line.

3. How do i set focus to another window and cycle through them.

4. I also want to timestamp every line that is generated and try to figure out how long shields last and other things:
I tried something like (Perl Regex):
^(.+)$
#SAY %time( "hh:nn:ss") -> %1

That goes into a infinite loop! Why? I checked the docs for SAY and it says that text is just locally displayed and not sent to the MUD. Is it being parsed by the Perl engine? I suspect that that may be causing the loop?

5. Also how do i do something like #SEND say %ansi(brown)Booo!

6. I use #WIN CHAT %1 to send the text to the CHAT window. Now to scroll up i have to click in that (ideally i'd like to just Ctrl 1 and setfocus on that window) and PgUp/PgDown - however window no 1 also splits up when i PgUp and i have to Shift Z after scrolling through that. Since the Chat window is just a scroll buffer i'd like to prevent it from splitting?

7. Err..also Lets say i use the Editor to create some Functions - how do i now put that into zMUD? Is there some place where i can store all my functions (a central repository) and then just reuse them from various triggers?
