Hello All,

I play a MUD that when you type bboard info you get something like this:

OOC fighter board [0 out of 30 unread]
OOC rid board [0 out of 4 unread]
OOC announcement board [0 out of 120 unread]
OOC comment board [0 out of 44 unread]
OOC main (SG information) board [0 out of 42 unread]
To access these OOC virtual boards, use <bboard next>, 'bboard <boardname>
<command> [title | #]>' or type 'help bboard' for more information and
examples.

What I would like is to have a seperate window off to the side in the upper right (or wherever) that has this in it all the time and reloads every minute or so. However I want it to look like this:

fighter board [0 unread]
rid board [0 unread]
announcement board [0 unread]
comment board [0 unread]
main (SG information) board [0 unread]

I only want the amount of unread messages in the brackets and the class board without the OOC before it.

Can anyone help me with this?

Well, first you need a trigger to capture them and gag them.

#trig {OOC [%a ()] board ~[%d ou of %d unread~]} {#cap news;#gag}

NB: You may need to change the () part to ~(~), but probably not.

Then in the news window you can create a trigger to change the format:

#trig {OOC ([%a ()] board) ~[(%d) out of %d unread~]} {#sub {%1 ~[%2 unread]}

You could also combine these two by removing the #cap command in the first trigger and replacing it with a #win command that sends the formatted text to the window.

I got it working, thanks for the code. Now the second part of my question is can I get it to reload on it's own every few minutes or so?

Just add an #alarm that sends the command every x seconds.

#alarm {60} {bboard info}
