So I'm playing a MUD where you get tells like this:

Soandso tells you, "Sally sells
sea shells by the
sea shore".

Using #capture on "tells you," only grabs the first line. Is there a way to make the capture continue until the ". at the very end is received? I noticed the #C+ and #C- commands but I'm not sure exactly how to use these to accomplish this. There is apparently no way to turn off the word-wrapping from the MUD.

Change MUD to one that lets you turn off word-wrapping ;P Seriously, though - it's the single most frustrating thing MUDs do wrong.

I prefer to use an enabled/disabled trigger rather than #C+, but the principle is similar:

#trig {^%w tells you, ~"} {#t+ cap;#cap whatever}
#cond {."$} {#t- cap;#cap whatever}

#trig "cap" {*} {#cap whatever} "" {disable}

You could do this with #C+ just by removing the cap trigger and the #T+/- commands and replacing the two #caps with #C+ and #C-.
