MUSHclient scripting

Description of MUSHclient world function: world.ExportXML


Name ExportXML
Type Method
Summary Exports a world item in XML format
Prototype BSTR ExportXML(short Type, BSTR Name);
Description

This lets you export one trigger, timer, alias, macro, keypad item or variable in XML format. This is symmetrical with the ImportXML function - a trigger exported with ExportXML will be syntactically correct for importing with ImportXML. However, it may not actually import if, say, there is a clash where two triggers both have the same label.

This would let you send triggers etc. from one world to another in an automated way, or from one client to another if you built some chat scripting around these functions.

The various types of things are numbered:

0 = trigger
1 = alias
2 = timer
3 = macro
4 = variable
5 = keypad


Note: Available in version 3.41 onwards.
