Like I said: "I know I must be missing something simple here."

Turns out it was a typo on my part:
throws an error
works precicely as expected, even on docked windows.

I retract my question and apologize for the distraction!

Apologies if this has been answered somewhere. It seems like something that should be straightforward, but I'm not finding anything in my searches and reading. I have several docked windows. When I start Mudlet, I have to manually resize them by grabbing the handles and adjusting the height and widt...

Yep. Perfect!

Thanks!!!

I am using string.cut and it is struggling when the string contains special characters. Many of the string functions have UTF8 versions (like string.len and utf8.len), but I don't see anything similar of .cut. Any advice on the best way to handle UTF8 chars with string.cut?

@demonnic aha, thanks! Similar to how I would do it if I were just rendering strings or such. Slick (and obvious now that you point it out ... ).

Thanks for all the help!

I need to format certain fields based...

@Vadi, that was my fallback plan. I am using GMCP, and I get a GMCP.Room.Char.Upate event that only contains the updated information, so I was hoping to be surgical, and just replace those few (often one) values, but if I have to redraw the whole table, so be it. I didn't really think there would be...

The TableMaker in MDK looks quite interesting. I would need to change my strategy a bit, but it looks like there is a good bit of flexibility. I'll tinker with that a bit.

Yeah, I realized later last night after I posted this that the example is a much simplified one from what I actually need. I created it to reduce the variables while I figured out the solution. What this is for is for a list of mobs in a room. Sometimes the whole table will be replaced (i.e. enterin...

I have the following code that generates tabular output in a user window. function WindowUpdate() roomWindow:clear() echo("roomWindow", "1234567890123456789012345678901234\n") echo("roomWindow", "Fruit Color Size Price\n") echo("roomWindow", "Ap...
