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
It is much easier to fight for one's ideals than to live up to them.

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.

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.

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" )

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.

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.

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.
