Copy/paste with color codes
 
Is it possible to copy and paste text from a mud and keep the color codes intact when you copy?

Depends what you want to do with the colored cut
and paste. Two ways that I can think of.

First is to make a new trigger in the settings
editor, and click on ANSI trigger in the options tab.
Go to your mud output and cut
and paste it into the trigger location to
see/preserve the ansi codes.

The other easy way is to enable "Log ANSI Color"
in the View->Preferences->General,
click on General, click on Logging.
Then you can make an ansi log of what happens
so to preserve the color.

You can also copy the text from zMUD and paste it into the Editor (Windows|Editor). If you want to save the text with the ansi codes, enable Options|Save with Color and then save the file. If you just want to copy the text to another program with the codes, then enable Options|Raw mode, before pasting the text and then copy the text again with the codes visible.
