mutiple line prob

hi all,
i've got a (maybe) little problem. i would like to see
some infos of my world-window in a different window, like
the notepad window. by now, i've done a trigger that
captures world information like '[Group] says: *'.
in my trigger, i'm calling a script sub. this sub
should take the whole text which has been written
(including the '[Group] says: ') and pass it to the
notepad window. argh. by now my script only gets the first
line and send it to the notepad window. the rest will
be ignored.

as an example: i see someone else is calling something
like:
[Group] says: this is a text which has a lot of chars inside, which are in sum more than blblblblblbblbl

so in my script i'm using right now:
1. world.AppendToNotepad "Group", theword & vbcrlf
this will just bring the first (i think) 80 chars to the notepad window
2. world.AppendToNotepad "Group", strLine & vbcrlf
is the same as above (inculding the prefix)

i only get the following in the notepad window, no more:
[Group] says: this is a text which has a lot of chars inside, which
the rest will be ignored (so it seems to me)

always it's like that im only getting a fix defined number
of chars in my notepad window, but i would like to get the
whole text, not only the first line.

sorry for my bad english, i'm german so it's quiet difficult for me to describe my problem. hopefully somebody can help me.

thx in advance

If your mud allows you to turn of line wrap, then that should let you capture the entire line. The problem is that it may be like the one I play on, which wraps everything on the mud at 77 columns before I even recieve it. Since I can't turn it off I can only grab the first line of say and tell. Also, if you can turn it off you will still need to turn wrapping on in the client, or stuff will wander off the edge of the window. ;)

If you can't disable the mud's auto-wrap, then I doubt it can be fixed, since the client has not way of knowing that the additional text was part of the same message. :p
