Saving from capture window
|
I have a trigger set up to capture stuff into another window. Can I make an alias that will Take the text from the other windows, and save it into a text file?
Like if the other window is called equipment, I want to type saveother and it will save any text in the equipment window into a textfile called equipment.txt, in the zmud directory of course.
It seems possible I am just not sure how.

#TRIGGER {Your trigger} {#CAP equipment}
:equipment:#LOG equipment.txt
Focus on the equipment window, make a log file, and refocus to the main window.

I'm fairly sure that all three commands were in use in version 5.55, along with the :window: syntax, but I have absolutely no idea if that would be true for version 1.0. Nor do I have any idea when they were introduced if they weren't in the first version.
The quickest (and easiest) way to find out if something works with an older version of zMUD is to try it. You probably have a particular version (whichever one you're using) in mind anyway.

I have version 6.31 registered and using it, primarily for my id trigger, but it will not work in 5.55. I made an alias called saveeq, that does
:equipment:
#LOG equipment.txt
all it does is log the main zmud window, it wont focus.

According to the online 5.5x help files, there is a focus character, by default the colon (:).
If :equipment:#log equipment.txt doesn't work, I see 2 possibilities:
1. You have either disabled the focus character or changed it to something else in the preferences.
2. The focus syntax of :equipment: doesn't work the way it does in 6.xx
I would think that the first is most likely, so check your preferences. If the focus character is enabled and still :, then you might want to search through your help files for focus and see what syntax is expected.

Also, you should try:
:equipment:#LOG equipment.txt
and not:
:equipment:
#LOG equipment.txt

It works now, thanks for the help. The focus character was ok, and i had tried :equipment: #LOG equipment.txt as well as with it on both lines....I had a space in between :equipment: and #LOG equipment.txt.....got rid of the space and it works fine. Thanks again for all the help.
