See #WRITE

and maybe %line

quote:

write

Syntax: %write(i,s,rec)

write string s to the ith file at record rec. For text files, rec is ignored and s is appended to the file. If rec is 0, s is written to the end of the file.

That is all i found in the help files, and i found noting on %line ... If i just do
%write(file) will that log the whole line?

Who said anything about %write?

From the helpfile
(quote)
WRITE

Syntax: #WRI n value [rec]
Related: #READ

Write a value to the nth file. If n is 1-5 then the file is a text file, and the value is appended to the end - rec is ignored. If n is 6-10, then the file is structured, and value is written to the record given by rec. If rec is zero or omitted, value is appended to the file.

WRITE examples

#WRI 1 {logged onto Dark Castle}

append the string to the end of text file number 1.

#WRI 6 {this is record 3} 3

writes the string as the third record in file 6.
(endquote)

You'll probably also need to look at #FILE. You'll find both #FILE and #WRITE in the index under "commands". An easier way is to use the Contents, where they'll be under the booklet "Commands".
%line is a predefined variable, it's listed in the helpfile for predefined variables.

~[CLAN~](*)
#file 1 clan.txt
#write 1 %1
#close 1

Okay i know this is a really old topic but i could never quite get it to work and just gave up =/ Glinka has the right idea except i want to capture the whole line not just %1 with a trigger that does

#file 1 stuff.txt
#write 1 %line
#close 1

It logs "Opened stuff.txt as file 1" Anyone know how i could do this? the trigger has to open and close the file itself because i want to write to the same file from more than one window.

#file 1 stuff.txt
#write 1 %line2
#close 1

This logs the line correctly but it echoes the file opening and closing to the mud everytime. Is there any way to circumvent that without turning off echo's?

Since you are capturing this to a new window (according to the first post), why not just run a logfile from there?
(Using CLAN as the window name)
#AL atconnect {#WINDOW CLAN;:CLAN:#LOG stuff.txt}
