Heh, a scripting contest
PHX, what I posted works... consistently for me anyway. I can't think of a reason why it doesn't work for you. I played with this a good bit, hoping I could post a 6 line script that would do the same thing <grin> but it proves to be tougher than that. The only fool-proof way I came up was long... like Tweety's.

I like the way you guys concatenate all of the lines into one. This can present some problems though... like if Photons are disabled they'll be absent from the quickstats, throwing your numbering off. Also, the last line may not have #179 in it, so you have to allow for that. I'm sure there are others scenarios as well.

And the reason CK doesn't just use "(?=help)" is because it is sometimes "(?=Help)", like at the command prompt. Notice the uppercase "H".

Ah well, I'm sure it can be done in 10 lines

ok Find a flaw in this one....



More often than not (but not always) it is missing the "elp)" trigger, so I added a delay trigger to handle that...only problem I can see with this is if your on a slow Butt server or hit some bad lag right when this activates. Aside from that...its golden baby.
Unless someone can think of some other items that might not show up depending on game settings, lemme know so I can make the necessary changes.

I suppose that adding [xxx] to the get lines also updates the DB?

Actually PHX, that looks very thorough, well done. I can't think of a single scenario when that one will not work. And best of all, you've come a long way in your scripting ability since the first post.

I never would have imagined it was so hard to get that info in TWX. It's really simple in REXX.
