Trigger help

Hi, I've been using MUSHclient for a while, but haven't really gotten deep into using triggers or the other advanced things that the program offers. As such, I thought I would turn here for help, as I can't seem to find a similar thread anywhere with an answer to my problem.

The situation is that I have a character on a MUSH who owns several puppets to monitor various places that character owns. However, sometimes when things get busy, there are things going in all three places, and it gets hard to read the text from each one.

What I would like to do is, if possible, have the things each puppet hears be diverted to a separate window, so it's easier to keep track of what's going on where.

The strings from the puppets are all prefixed by:
Puppetname> <text>

Thanks for any help or advice you might have.

You just need a trigger, like this:

Puppetname> *

This can "send to" "append to notepad", and it will append to a separate window, named after the name you give to the trigger.

If each puppet's output is to go to the same window, you could just do:

*> *

(Although that might be dangerous as it would match virtually any line with a > in it).

If each puppet is to go to a separate window, then you could just make one trigger per puppet, with its name in the trigger, as in the first example above.
