I have an MXP trigger that fires when it sees the 'Prompt' MXP tag. That seems to be working fine.

What I would really like to be able to use is the text inside the prompt tag. It isn't passing properly into the MXP trigger with %0.

I receive this from Achaea:

I'm thinking it could be one of two possible things causing this. Perhaps the escape codes for its color is causing it, or perhaps the space in the prompt causes it.

Also confusing to me is that the help file says you can use %mxp as well as %0, but I can't figure out how to get that to work. The %mxp.data didn't display anything.

Yep, this was a bug in %mxp.data. The %0 was correct because the ansi color codes were being converted to nested COLOR tags. I've got %mxp.data fixed for the next beta.

But always remember that %0 won't contain any nested tags, whereas %mxp.data returns all of the data between the start and end tags. When using ANSI color codes within MXP tags, the ANSI codes are always stripped though, so there is no way to access the "raw" data within the tag.

So if I try to summarize just to make sure I understand:

- %0 works fine but isn't going to give me the whole prompt because of the color codes.
- %mxp.data had a bug, but once fixed it will give me the whole prompt with the color codes stripped out.

Correct.

Confirmed fixed in 3.13. Thanks!
