Zugg Software :: View topic - Capturing text to a variable rather than a window

Ok, I've asked this question before, AND I've been trying to find an answer searching the forum, and tried discovering it on my own, but it escapes me how I can do this.

I want to store multiple lines from the mud to a variable. I want to trigger it with a certain phrase then end it with a prompt.

here is the sample output:

Modifies the following statistics: <-- start capture here
DEX By 2
STR By 2

< 422H 330M 194V 4384463X > <-- end capture here.

I know what to write to start the capture and to end the capture, however I don't know HOW to start the capture.. does anyone have any ideas?

The general way this is done is by having a class turned off and on.

That class would contain a trigger something like this:

#TR {^(*)$} {CapturedLine=%concat(@CaptureLine,%ch,"%1")

Then whatever trigger turn on the class clears the variable, and whatever trigger turn it off processes the info.
