The TinTin++ message board

[Harissa]

I tried all sort of things, but, what ever I do, gag zaps the line contents and subs a '\n' for it, so, I get whole chunks of empty lines in my terminal (and, in my log).

Is there anything at all I can do about those?

thanks!

Could be useful to see the exact code you use and an example of a subtitution

Hi,

I just used a straight forward 'gag', but, seeing that no-one
else chimed in, I started to suspect that it's a mud specific
issue, and not a tintin problem. (bear with me, I now have a new
(but gag related) tintin problem!)

So, I logged in raw (which showed nothing unusual):

(ungagged)

Scanning down, you see:
the matron of the Green Dragon, right here.
a local gossip, immediately below you.
a publican, immediately below you.

You hear some mindless drivel.

You hear some mindless drivel.

You hear some mindless drivel.

... and then I had a look in emacs hex mode. Lo and behold, this

00005d20: 0a --> this dot is the part '.' of the ..You .

So, it looks to me like this '0a' is Ascii 10, the NL (new line
feed), and it's sent twice, whilst the gag most likely only caters for one NL type char.

So, my questions has morphed into: how do I gag the new line feed
char?

thanks!

I can't reproduce... gag seems to remove all the new lines...

[Slysven]

You are also loosing leading spaces after the \x0a (LF, Line-Feed) characters as well BTW...

[Scandum]

You can use #gag {^$} to gag empty lines. Probably not what you want though.

I'll put multiline gags at the top of my todo list. I looked into it before but there was some kind of difficulty with implementing it.

Powergod: You can't reproduce this problem with #showme.
