Automatically capture all mud output between two tags

I constantly find myself capturing between two tags. I don't think there is an easier way than creating three triggers. I wish there were.

Maybe I am missing something, but I have searched through the help files and forums and I can't find it.

Here is my example:
Say I want to capture and gag all text between {start_capture} and {end_capture}.

I need:
Trigger 1) A trigger that matches {start_capture}, and turns on trigger (2)
Trigger 2) A trigger that matches *
Trigger 3) A trigger that matches {end_capture}, and turns off trigger (2).

Do this 3 or 4 times in a plugin, and all of a sudden you have a ton of triggers that easily get confusing.

I would like to suggest that there be a function TagTriggerCapture (Crappy name) that takes the following options:

start_tag
omit_from_output y/n
match_between_tags (For me this would usually be *, but why not give the option of other matches)
script/function to the lines to
end_tag

BTW, I really love this client, and keep up the good work! This is just small issue, but figure I'd make the suggestion.

I'm not sure it should be part of MUSHclient itself, but you could create your own TagTriggerCapture() in Lua using AddTriggerEx().

I agree it can be a bit of a pain, and there isn't really anything at present that does it.

As Twisol said, you could probably encapsulate the functionality with a bit of scripting. Instead of the usual process of enabling/disabling triggers a script could simply add, remove them in the appropriate sequence.

Someone could make a nice library that does that.
