Hi!

I am trying to redirect all pages and channel stuff to a notepad, for easy reading.
However, the stuff that I send to the game does not trigger it.

This is my trigger:
^[(.*?)] (.*?)$

Which executes:
AppendToNotepad ("Chat:WNOHGB", "%0")


Is there anything wrong with that?
Also, what is the newline char?

Thanks in advance!

It helps to see the whole trigger and not just excerpts. For example, we don't know if you turned on the "regular expression" flag from what you posted.

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


Assuming you did ...

Template:regexp Regular expressions
  • Regular expressions (as used in triggers and aliases) are documented on the Regular expression tips forum page.
  • Also see how Lua string matching patterns work, as documented on the Lua string.find page.



^[(.*?)] (.*?)$


Inside square brackets it means "one of a set", so that would only match on a single one of "(", ".", "*", "?".

You need to escape the square brackets:


^\[(.*?)\] (.*?)$


A newline is \n however because of the way Windows edit windows work, you also need a carriage-return. So it would want to be:


AppendToNotepad ("Chat:WNOHGB", "%0\r\n")

And since send-to-script expands those, you need to double them:



AppendToNotepad ("Chat:WNOHGB", "%0\\r\\n")
