I have read the posts that deal with this, but I can’t get it to work. Here is what I have, I look forward to any help.

Some of my script file:

sub logon
world.closelog
world.openlog "C:\Program Files\MUSHclient\worlds\capture.txt", false
world.send "info here"
world.send "listen"
end sub

sub logoff
World.closelog
world.openlog "C:\Program Files\MUSHclient\worlds\avalon.txt", true
end sub

I have a trigger that should execute “sub logoff” when the response for “listen” comes back but it doesn’t work. It does work when I type in “listen”. I can work with any text I can assign to a variable or a file but how do I do get that far?
Thanks for any help.
James

Can you copy and paste the trigger here? Sounds funny that it works when you type "listen" but not when the trigger fires. Are you sure you don't have an alias instead?

Sorry forget my post I guess I figured it out. I had to change my script to read Sub logoff(thename, theoutput, thewildcards) though I don't understand why. Thank you though.
later,
James

Message
TheName - The name of the Trigger/Alias that called this script.

TheOutput - The entire line that caused the trigger to fire, or the entire alias line you entered.

TheWildcards - An array consisting of all the wildcards captured with the trigger or alias.

MUSHclient will try and send those values to your scripted subroutine. An error occurs if your subroutine is not written to accept three arguments.
