I am tring to color more than one line of Text send to me by using a trigger with the #co 12 command

There is a lot of times it is longer than one line and it does not color more than one line.

I was wondering if any one had a way around this??

Any help would be nice :}

Pretty sure that mud-side linebreaks (such as those for multi-line tells and such) stop any coloring command/function. Are you already able to capture the extra lines? If so, simply insert a color command in that/those triggers too.

EDIT: if it's ZMud doing the wrapping, then all the color commands should work normally

Post mud output of what you are seeing and tell us what you want captured.

Hard to guess not seeing what exactly you are doing.

Ok here is my trigger as it stands right now
#trigger {^Your comm unit relays a message from %w, "} {#co 14}

So the proplem is that it is set to trigger whenit sees that and the rest of it can be more than a one line response.
Like.. Your comm unit relays a message from Archangel, "We have been playing around with the defibrillators 0:-)"

and the defibrillators 0:-)" is on a second line and does not get any color
so thats whats up

First thing it try finding out if your mud allows you to set your screen width. If you can set it to as high a value as possible and then zMud will do the coloring correctly and take care of word wrapping. Currently you mud is doing the word wrap hence a hard line break and the second line does not fire any trigger. If you can't change the screen width then we can write a more complex trigger to color the second, third, forth... lines.

If you can't change your screen width and let zMud wrap for you (making it easy just to trigger it all and #COLOR it), this problem is similar to Rainchild's TellWindow (TM)

Probably a simple kludged way to handle finding where the " ends. Handling " tends to be messy.

#TRIGGER CommUnitRelayColoring {^(*)$} {#CO 14}
#T- CommUnitRelayColoring
#TRIGGER {^Your comm unit relays a message} {#CO 14;#T+ CommUnitRelayColoring}
#TRIGGER {^Your comm unit relays a message from %w, "%*"$} {#T- CommUnitRelayColoring}
#TRIGGER {^Your comm unit relays a message from %w, "%*"$} {#T- CommUnitRelayColoring}
#TRIGGER {^Your comm unit relays a message from %w, "%*$%*"$} {#T- CommUnitRelayColoring}
#TRIGGER {^Your comm unit relays a message from %w, "%*$%*$%*"$} {#T- CommUnitRelayColoring}
#TRIGGER {^Your comm unit relays a message from %w, "%*$%*$%*$%*"$} {#T- CommUnitRelayColoring}
#TRIGGER {^Your comm unit relays a message from %w, "%*$%*$%*$%*$%*"$} {#T- CommUnitRelayColoring}

Works based on the order of the triggers. Depending on where you get the "'s it could color more than you want.

Maybe someone can think of a cleaner way.
