Line Highlight

[tsuujin]

I'm completely stumped.

All I want to do is take a line and highlight it. I thought this was as simple as creating a new trigger with an "exact match" pattern, checking "highlight" and selecting the colors. So I tried it, and it failed.

Then, I tried doing the same thing but unselecting highlight and instead using selectString(line,1) fg("green") resetFormat()

This, too, failed.

I don't know where to go from here!

Code: Select all

mudlet version? Highlighting strings ending in "." was broken in one of the mudlet 1.0.6 pre releases

[tsuujin]

the linux installer for 1.0.6 version, which is displayed in the about page as "Mudlet 1.0.6 built: January 23, 2010".

Good to know. I changed the trigger to remove the line ending in "." and replaced it with one ending in ")", to the same results.

[tsuujin]

it should be noted that I'm using a target highlighter via temp trigger without problem.

Code: Select all

target = matches[2]
if tarHighlight then killTrigger(tarHighlight) end
tarHighlight = tempRegexTrigger(target, [[selectString("]] .. target .. [[", 1) fg("red") resetFormat()]])
echo("Target is now: "..target.."\n")

[naftali]

try using a begin-of-line substring trigger that just doesn't have a "." at the end - don't replace it with anything

[tsuujin]

Ok, progress.

I can get a line to highlight, just so long as it ends with a alphanumeric character. ")" and "." both cause it to fail, as I've just confirmed.

Any workaround? Possibly a code update to a newer version of 1.0.6 code for linux?

The currently available Linux code is really old now, Mac and windows snapshots are more recent, but still outdated.
New snapshots for all OS are coming up soon though.
