| I've been looking for this plug-in but can't find it in the plug-in list, so I searched these forums and found a very old thread that contained a 'simple version' (Nick's words) here;
http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/bbshowpost.php?id=7430
I copied it exactly into the plug-in wizard and installed but it's not acting in the way I expected.
I expected it to drop to a new line right after each prompt line like this;
<5000hp 5000m 4997mv>
You say 'hello'
Instead, I get, well, a space after the prompt like this;
<5000hp 5000m 4997mv> You say 'hello'
I have the latest version of MUSHclient installed with No Command Echo checked (because frankly command echo annoys me) on a SMAUG codebase.
Am I using the right plug-in for what I want? Is there a different one out there somewhere? Or perhaps I did something wrong?

| That fairly lengthy thread discusses various similar issues. For it to work the string.gsub in the plugin must match what your prompt looks like. I am not sure which one you used, but one of the ones I did matched a prompt with current and max values, which your prompt doesn't have.
In particular, this part:
function OnPluginPacketReceived (s)
return (string.gsub (s, "\n<.+/.+hp .+/.+m .+/.+mv .+/.+xp.*> ", "%1\n"))
end -- function OnPluginPacketReceived
Now your prompt would be matched by something like this:
function OnPluginPacketReceived (s)
return (string.gsub (s, "\n<%d+hp %d+m %d+mv> ", "%1\n"))
end -- function OnPluginPacketReceived

I'm sorry, I don't understand what the %d means in your example or if it even pertains to this? |

| %d is the Lua string representation of a digit, meaning a number, I, probably as well as Nick are perplexed by the &X's ... as well as the fact that the example prompt you posted has 3 sections, and this appears to be attempting to match 4 items.

| Er, oops. Bad example, there are 4 things in my prompt. The first %r displays room vnums. The other &thingies are colour codes. Even if I take them out I'm still not getting what I want.
10300 5000 5000 5000You say 'hello' is the output of this in the plugin...
function OnPluginPacketReceived (s)

| The function in question is string.gsub:
http://www.gammon.com.au/scripts/doc.php?lua=string.gsub
That mentions that string.find explains Lua regular expressions:

I think he has posted what he types into the MUD to get the prompt. Read up on regular expressions (see above link). The %d+ means one or more digits, which is what 5000 consists of. So %d+hp would match on some number of digits, followed by "hp". Try my example and see if it works. |

Don't change the prompt, change the plugin to match the prompt.
You are changing the rules as we go, now there is a room number. However following the regular expression shown above you should be able to allow for that. |

lol, I was (btw, she not he).
Ok, I've read up on the regular expressions and it's becoming a little more clear. The string.gsub needs to match on the output, what the display window shows, right?
The output of my prompt is: <1000hp 1000m 750mv> <#21000>
And following your example it makes sense to have %d+hp to match on 1000hp, etc.
So I corrected the plugin to be this;
(string.gsub (s, "\n<%d+hp %d+m %d+mv %d> ", "%1\n")
(the extra %d on the end is for the room vnum in the prompt - not sure if that's correct or not)
Anyway, it still doesn't work. I'm not getting a new line.
<1000hp 1000m 750mv> <#21000> You say 'hello'
Note: I'm (obviously) not a coder so I really need a "Lua for Dummies" explanation.

My apologies. I normally type s/he but that day a wave of laziness overtook me. :)
Anyway, although you are getting closer, you put the room number in, in a way it wasn't going to match. I got it to work against your example prompt using:
function OnPluginPacketReceived (s)
return (string.gsub (s, "\n<%d+hp %d+m %d+mv> <#%d+> ", "%1\n"))
end -- function OnPluginPacketReceived
Since the room number was in < ... > signs, the %d+ had to be inside them too.

| Did you reinstall the plugin after changing it?
If so, please copy and paste the entire modified plugin. Also copy and paste a few sample lines from the MUD, so I can see the exact context in which the prompts appear? |

]]>
</script>
</muclient>
And some samples of what I'm looking at;
<1000hp 1000m 742mv> <#21020> Inside the Southern Gate
You stand inside the southern gate of Darkhaven. To the north is the
intersection of Vertic Avenue and Law Avenue.
Exits: north.
A guard of the city stands at the ready.
<1000hp 1000m 750mv> <#21074> You are carrying:
Nothing.
<1000hp 1000m 750mv> <#21074> You say 'hello'
<1000hp 1000m 750mv> <#21074>
The bells of the cathedral toll the passing of time.
Funny how the area reset message starts on a new line but that does that already without the plugin.

| Are there color codes involved, that is the only reason, I think that this might not be functioning properly is if there are multiple colors in the code, and it is not matching against the escape codes for the colors.
I had the same issue with several packet matches.

| I think we need to see the raw packets - Onoitsu2 is right, colour codes would throw things out because we are matching the raw data.
Go to the Edit menu -> Debug Packets (check it).
Then grab a few prompts. Then turn Debug Packets off again or the packet debug window will get very large.
Then paste the results here, please. |

| Yes the prompt is coloured. It's the default in SmaugFUSS, I haven't changed it.
But now I'm totally confused as to how matching the prompt as it's seen is messed up by colour code that's not seen.
Hopefully you'll find the problem in here;
