| Often times when I'm online, I'm doing a combination of coding, chatting, paging, and sometimes rping. (The perils of wizzing :P). It can be very hard for me to keep track of the different chains, and I tend to lose 'em on busy nights. In tinyfugue, I can do something like:
/recall 100 public>*
This will recall any text from the last 100 lines that began with public>, which chances are will be the conversation on the game's public channel. I can then
quickly catch up on the public> channel chat, without
having to scroll back, trying to pick out lines starting
with public> from among my code, pages, and rp. Is there anything similar I can do in MUSHClient to pull up a selective recall? It's really quite essential to me :).
Thanks in advance,
Kaye | | Top |

| this may or may not help, but how about a trigger set to fire on
public>*
that sends
public>%1
and send to notepad (append).. effectively it just logs the public tells only, nothing else, and you can set up an alias to turn the trigger on/off too if you like.

| Demonsurfer's suggestion has merit, but MUSHclient *does* have a recall feature, it was requested a while ago.
See the Display menu -> Recall Text (Ctrl+U).
You can enter what you want to recall (straight text or a regular expression) and the number of lines to search, and the appropriate lines will then be presented in a notepad window, which you can keep open or close.
Next time you go to "recall" it remembers the recall text from last time, so you just need to amend the number of lines if required and hit <enter>. |

| If you wanted to get a bit fancier you could make a trigger, as Demonsurfer suggested, but make it store each (matching) line in a circular array (eg. 100 items). Then you could make an alias to copy the array into a notepad window when you wanted to see it. That way you always see the last 100 lines.
The recall window would do something similar, however that would search 100 lines, not give you 100 matches. I suppose it depends which you prefer. |

One of my friends just told me today that on another client you can have the ouput of a certain code automatically open and post to another window. Tells, orgs, pages, or the like. That way it is easy to keep all the output together from a certain area. Can this be done with MUSHclient?

| Yes there is.
You can set up one or more triggers to match on what you want, and set the trigger to "Send to" -> "Notepad (append)". In the "send" box enter "%0" which is the whole matching line.
This appends the triggering line to a notepad (text) window of the same name as the trigger label. If the trigger is unlabelled you can have multiple triggers sending to the same window, or by using labelled triggers you can filter the lines into different windows.
Then you can optionally "omit from output" to have the matching lines only in the notepad window, but not the main window. |
