I've been setting up triggers to paste channels to a notpad window so that if I'm busy fighting and miss a message it's in another window to find instead of having to wade through scroll back. I'm familiar with vba to a certain extent but keep running into errors. The last channel I'm trying to get to append only shows a person's name and what s/he said.


<Name> the message that was sent

the only problem with doing a match on <*> * is that's also the format for most of the other prompts in game


<[892X] [7835H 13M] [14 Blood]>

The one thing I do know is the line for that channel will never start with <[, so I tried doing a check but I keep getting an error I don't quite follow.

Here's what I've been trying:


if len(world.replace(%1,"[","")) = len(%1) Then
world.AppendToNotepad "Trigger", %0
end if

and the error I got as this:


Execution of line 1 column 33
Immediate execution
Expected ')'
Line in error: 
if len(world.replace([Crippled] [7835H 13M] [14 Blood],"[","")) = len([Crippled] [7835H 13M] [14 Blood]) Then

I tried adding in an extra ) at the 33rd character but that also didn't fix the issue, is there a way to make this script work? Also I think another issue here is not quite understanding replace and len as I've only really used those in excel/vba/ms office, is it possible to replace characters within a script the way i'm attempting to and then calculate the length of the string?

Can you paste the whole trigger?

For advice on how to copy aliases, timers or triggers from within MUSHclient, and paste them into a forum message, please see Copying XML.

Looks like this is the issue:

Please read the MUSHclient FAQ - point 32.

Ah, it took me a bit to understand, but yes, that was it!

Finished version:


<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   group="social"
   match="&lt;*&gt;*"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>If (len (World.Replace ("%1","[","",1)) = len ("%1")) Then
World.AppendToNotepad "Trigger: ", "%0" &amp; vbcrlf
end If
</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

the "Trigger: " was to get it to paste to the same notepad window as a few triggers I have that are "send to notepad(append)" instead of "send to script". I might work on converting the others to script as well to clean it up, but the one tip really did help.
