Is there a way to send mock output to the world to test against complex regex matches?

Edit:
Can't modify title. Should be mock output. :)

I think you're looking for the Simulate() function.

Template:function=Simulate Simulate

The documentation for the Simulate script function is available online. It is also in the MUSHclient help file.

I usually use "Debug Simulated World Input" (Shift+Ctrl+F12) - see the Game menu. It's labelled Game -> Test Trigger ...

You can type multiple lines of input (use Ctrl+Enter for a newline) and there is a box at the top for entering special sequences like ANSI codes, MXP codes and Unicode. Make sure you have a final newline (blank line) after the test otherwise the trigger won't fire (yet).

For scripted testing the Simulate function could be used (this could be handy if you are testing the same thing many times). However the "Test Trigger" dialog remembers your last test, so you can re-test the same thing simply by doing Shift+Ctrl+F12 followed by Enter.
