The problem is, the compiler doesn't really know what you intended, once you break the rules of the language.

Let's take a simple example:


a = b c

Gives error:

Expected ';'
Line in error: 
a = b c


Now there are quite a few things you might have meant, so the compiler can't really say "replace this with that". Here are some examples of what you might have meant:


a = bc  // added a space by mistake
a = b + c  // left out arithmetic operator
a = b - c
a = b / c
a = b * c
a = b (c)  // meant to call function


The intention of the error message is to look at the line in error (and sometimes the previous line is really the problem line), and, using your knowledge of the language, work out what is wrong.

its not like the errors scream out "replace this with this". its only "expected this" and then shows you the line with an error....so helpful.

If you can't fix the typo of a comma needing to be a semicolon, maybe you should pick a language that you are familiar with and run with that. There are several tutorials for pretty much any language you could hope to look for. I've noticed a few errors with the javascript part I jotted down real quickly because I couldn't currently test it on my normal machine. I haven't bothered to try and get javascript running through wine after my last install.

At some point I'll remember what language I'm trying to deal with.

for (i = 1; i <= world.GetInfo(224), i++) {
  if world.GetLineInfo(i, 1).indexOf( "wordtofind" ) {
    world.AppendToNotepad( "findlines", GetLineInfo(i,1) + "\n" )
  }
world.SaveNotepad( "findlines", "C:\filename" )

Sorry, should have mentioned that the script was for Lua. I completely missed that this was in the Jscript forum.

for i = 1 to world.GetInfo(224) {
  if world.GetLineInfo(i, 1).indexOf( "wordtofind" ) {
    world.AppendToNotepad( "findlines", GetLineInfo(i,1) + "\n" )
  }
world.SaveNotepad( "findlines", "C:\filename" )

Also fixed a few mistakes I had made, like forgetting to put a line break at the end of each line.

The Display menu -> Recall Text can be used to search the output buffer for a word or text that is already there. Matching lines are written to a separate window, which can then be saved as a file.

It's probably easiest to just match the lines as they come in. You can have a trigger copy the line into a notepad file within MUSHclient.

You can search the output buffer and grab every line with something like this:

for i = 1,GetInfo(224) do
  if string.find(GetLineInfo(i).text, "wordtofind") then
    AppendToNotepad( "findlines", GetLineInfo(i).text )
  end
  SaveNotepad( "findlines", "C:\filename" )
end

Is there a way to capture a word from the buffer and have it write to a file the exact line containing that particular word? If it can only be captured "as I go" then thats fine too, but looking for a way to capture the line with the word thats in my buffer already.

See this post:

It could something to do with having to change your "plugins" folder in global configuration from a relative path to an absolute path.

Double check your MUSHclient/worlds/plugins/state folder. Make sure it exists, and that you have permission to edit files there. If you do, try matching your worldid-pluginid to a savestate and delete that. Sometimes starting over like that can help.

For instance, if I installed a plugin with the id you just listed into my main world file, I would see this file:
4f290293a1feabfdc0be9e26-a9dea92c93314180d3e365cc-state.xml

thats what it looks like.
keeps saying "Unable to create the plugin save state file".
Its always said this as far as i know, and I know that taking out the save_state line wont give me an error but it also wont save either im sure.

I would need to see your whole plugin header to answer that. Is this a plugin you are talking about? Edit one of the existing ones to see how that is used. For example:


<muclient>
<plugin name="Random_Socials"
  author="Nick Gammon"
  language="Lua"
  id = "e032b4b7db80da78a87dc708"
  purpose = "Displays a random social from time to time"
  save_state = "y"
  date_written="2007-05-03 09:30"
  requires="3.80"
  version = "1.0"
