| Hi,
I've read all the previous posts regarding solutions for adding a newline after the prompt but I'm still unable to find a successful fix for my problem. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
I want to trigger a newline on a prompt for filtering purposes. The prompt is very simple...
I took the Plugin (below) from an old post and modified the string.gsub to read
return (string.gsub (s, "\n%|1%|%*", "%1\n"))
However this is unsuccessful. Am I correct in thinking % is the correct escape character here rather than backslash? I did also try without escape characters but it won't trigger.

The packet debug for the line looks as follows:
...[0;30;44m|1|. 0d 0a 1b 5b 30 3b 33 30 3b 34 34 6d 7c 31 7c 1b

| You can see that after the newline (hex 0A) there is other stuff:
The string.gsub needs to match that too. Or put in a wildcard, eg.
return (string.gsub (s, "\n.*%|1%|%*", "%1\n"))

| Thanks, that now triggers correctly. However I realise this is not going to achieve what I want as the newline is only cosmetic client side. What I need is a Carriage return /r to reset the prompt.
I thought I could use something simple like below to put a /r in front of the newline when sending my next line but this doesn't work.
function OnPluginCommandEntered (sText)
return string.gsub (sText, "\n", "\r\n")
end -- function
Basically what I'm trying to do is create a second window for watching another player. Much of this is fairly easy to setup as it is simply a trigger on the prompt at the beginning of the line to filter the output to the correct window.
My output has a basic prompt of *
The watched player output has a prompt of |1|*
Hence I just filter lines starting |1|* to the second dummy window.
The only problem I have is that when some watched data is sent in, my prompt line is still showing |1|* and so my command goes to the second window. This also happens the other way round... When I send a command, the first command from the watched player comes in with the standard * prompt and so goes to my main output window.
I therefore need a way to effectively reset the prompt before the line is filtered to the correct window by issuing a carriage return.
is OnPluginCommandEntered the correct function to use for this?

| Decided to take a different approach by just using string.match on the packet and then sending a carriage return if the prompt line packet is found.
Need to test but it should work to revert the prompt for my commands. Not sure yet how I can do this in reverse (switch to the |1| prompt for watched users command) without initiating an infinite loop.
function OnPluginPacketReceived (s)
if string.match (s, "%[0;30;44m%|1%|.%[1;37;40m.%[0;34;40m.%[1;34;40m%*.%[0;34;40m.%[1;37;40m$") then
Send ("\r")
end -- if
return (s)
end -- function OnPluginPacketReceived

| Ok I'm getting there now. Went back to the beginning and started from scratch. What happens now is
-I record in a variable the last command that I sent out.
-I then check each incoming line for the prompt
-When prompt is matched, I check the line to see if it matches my last command sent out.
if it does, then it's a local command and I simply add a carriage return in front to revert the prompt.
if it does not, then it's a command from the remote player and so I will need to add the |1| to the front of the line if not present
<variables>
<variable name="snoopcheck">N</variable>
<variable name="commcheck">empty</variable>
</variables>

<script>
<![CDATA[
function OnPluginCommandEntered (sText)
local snoopy = GetVariable ("snoopcheck")
-- only apply if actively snooping
if string.match (snoopy, "Y") then
newcommand = "\r\n" .. sText
-- Note ("add CR")
return newcommand
else
return sText
end -- if
end -- function
function OnPluginSent (sText)
SetVariable ("commcheck", sText)
end -- function
function OnPluginLineReceived (sText)
local origin = GetVariable ("commcheck")
test1 = sText
if (string.match (test1, "^%*") or string.match (test1, "^%|1%|%*")) then -- line is a command
-- Note ("Command issued")
if string.match (sText, origin) then
-- Note ("Command was sent locally")
world.SetVariable ("commcheck", "empty")
-- No need to do anything else as OnPluginCommandEntered will issue /r to revert prompt
else
-- Note ("Command was sent remotely")
world.SetVariable ("commcheck", "empty")
-- <code to add |1| to beginning of line if currently on standard prompt>

return true -- display it
