  42. The #action command can be used to respond with one or several
  43. commands to a specific message send by the server. The %1-%99
  44. variables are substituted from the message and can be used in the
  45. command part of the action.
  46. If the message starts with a ~ color codes must be matched. You can
  47. enable #config {convert meta} on to display meta characters.
  48. For more information on pattern matching see the section on PCRE.

  134. The buffer command has various options to manipulate your scrollback
  135. buffer.
  136. The size of the scrollback buffer can be configured using #config
  137. buffer_size &lt;size&gt;. The size must be either 100, 1000, 10000, 100000
  138. or 1000000 lines.
  139. While scrolling through the scrollback buffer incoming text is not
  140. displayed, this can be disabled using #config scroll_lock off. The
  141. scroll lock is automatically disabled when manual input is received,
  142. subsequently #buffer up and down only work properly when used in a
  143. macro or mouse event.
  144. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>#buffer {clear} {[lower bound]} {[upper bound]}
  145. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  146. Without an argument this will clear the entire scrollback buffer.
  147. Otherwise it will clear the given range.
  148. Positive numbers are measured from the start of the scrollback buffer,
  149. negative numbers from the end.
  150. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>#buffer {down} [lines]
  151. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>

  161. Moves the buffer to the given string which can contain a regular
  162. expression. Optionally you can provide the number of matches to skip,
  163. allowing you to jump further back in the buffer.
  164. A positive number searches from the start of the buffer, a negative
  165. number from the end. If you provide a variable the location will be
  166. stored and no jump takes place.
  167. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>#buffer {get} {&lt;variable&gt;} {&lt;lower bound&gt;} {[upper bound]}
  168. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  169. Allows you to store one or several lines from your scrollback buffer
  170. (including color codes) into a variable. The lower and upper bound
  171. must be between 1 and the size of the buffer. If the upper bound is
  172. omitted the given line is stored as a standard variable. If an upper
  173. bound is given the lines between the two bounds are stored as a list.
  174. Positive numbers are measured from the start of the scrollback buffer,
  175. negative numbers from the end.
  176. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>#buffer {home}
  177. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>

  210. The #button command can be used to respond with one or several
  211. commands to a mouse click received within the specified square.
  212. The click coordinates are stored in %0-%3 and can be used in the
  213. command part of the button.
  214. The square part should exists of two coordinates defining the
  215. upper left and bottom right corner using row, col, row, col syntax.
  216. The square arguments should be separated by spaces, semi-colons or
  217. braces.
  218. By default the button is set to respond to a mouse button press, to
  219. respond to other button presses you must add a 5th argument to the
  220. square that defines the button press type. You can enable #info
  221. button on to see button events and their type as they happen.
  222. The priority part is optional and determines the priority of the
  223. button, it defaults to 5.
  224. You must enable #config {mouse tracking} on for buttons to work.
  225. This command draws no visible button, you'll have to do so separately
  226. if needed.
  227. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #button {1;1;2;2} {#show You clicked the upper left corner.}
  228. Buttons are ordered alphabetically and only one button can trigger at
  229. a time. To change the order you can assign a priority, which defaults
  230. to 5, with a lower number indicating a higher priority. The priority
  231. can be a floating point number.

  269. subsequently known as the command character or tintin character.
  270. When loading a command file the command character is set to the
  271. first character in the file. The character can also be redefined
  272. using #config.
  273. ; The semi-colon is used as the command separator and can be used to
  274. separate two commands. Multiple commands can be strung together as
  275. well. Trailing semi-colons are ignored when reading a script file
  276. as this is a common error.
  277. { } Curly brackets aka braces are used for separating multi word command
  278. arguments, nesting commands, and nesting variables. Braces cannot
  279. easily be escaped and must always be used in pairs.
  280. &quot; &quot; Quote characters are used for strings in the #math, #if, #switch,
  281. and #case commands. It is however suggested to use a set of braces
  282. { } to define strings instead, particularly when checking strings
  283. that may contain quotes.
  284. ! The exclamation sign is used to repeat commands, see #help history.
  285. The character can be redefined using #config.

  1162. Without an argument all available options are shown.
  1163. By default all commands are saved to the history list and the history
  1164. list is saved between sessions in the ~/.tintin/history.txt file.
  1165. You can set the character to repeat a command in the history with the
  1166. #config {REPEAT CHAR} {&lt;character&gt;} configuration option, by default
  1167. this is set to the exclamation mark.
  1168. You can use ! by itself to repeat the last command, or !&lt;text&gt; to
  1169. repeat the last command starting with the given text.
  1170. You can use #config {REPEAT ENTER} {ON} to repeat the last command
  1171. when you press enter on an empty line.
  1172. You can press ctrl-r to enter an interactive regex enabled history
  1173. search mode, or by issuing #cursor {history search}.
  1174. TinTin++ tries to bind the arrow up and down keys to scroll through
  1175. the history list by default. You can bind these with a macro yourself
  1176. using #cursor {history next} and #cursor {history prev}. Many #cursor
  1177. commands only work properly when bound with a macro.

  1182. The #if command works similar to an if statement in other languages,
  1183. and is based on the way C handles its conditional statements.
  1184. When an #if command is encountered, the conditional statement is
  1185. evaluated, and if TRUE (any non-zero result) the commands are executed.
  1186. The conditional is evaluated exactly the same as in the #math command,
  1187. if the conditional evaluates as anything except 0 the commands are
  1188. executed. See the 'math' helpfile for more information.
  1189. To handle the case where an if statement is false it can be followed
  1190. by the #else command.
  1191. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #action {%0 gives you %1 gold coins.} {#if {%1 &gt; 5000} {thank %0}}

  1239. The syntax for starting TinTin++ is: ./tt++ [command file]
  1240. Read more about the command file in the files section below. Remember
  1241. one thing though. All actions, aliases, substitutions, etc, defined
  1242. when starting up TinTin++ are inherited by all sessions.
  1243. If you want to exit TinTin++ type '#end' or press ctrl-d on an empty
  1244. line.
  1245. For the WinTin++ users, if you want to paste text use shift-insert,
  1246. text is automatically copied upon selection. This is typical Linux
  1247. behavior, but it can take some getting used to.

  1256. use at least 3 letter abbreviations just in case another command is
  1257. added that starts with 'he'.
  1258. All commands can be separated with a ';'.
  1259. n;l dragon;s;say Dan Dare is back! -- do these 4 commands
  1260. There are 3 ways ';'s can be overruled.
  1261. &bsol;say Hello ;) -- Lines starting with a '&bsol;' aren't parsed by TinTin++.
  1262. say Hello &bsol;;) -- The escape character can escape 1 letter.
  1263. #config verbatim on -- Everything is sent as is except '#' commands.
  1264. </span><span style='color:#5F5'>
  1265. Connecting to a server
  1266. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>
  1267. Command</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #session </span><span style='color:#FFF'>{</span><span style='color:#AAA'>session name</span><span style='color:#FFF'>} {</span><span style='color:#AAA'>server address</span><span style='color:#FFF'>} {</span><span style='color:#AAA'>port</span><span style='color:#FFF'>}</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1268. Example: #session someone tintin.sourceforge.net 4321
  1269. You can have more than one session, in which case you can switch
  1270. between sessions typing #&lt;session name&gt;.
  1271. You can get a list of all sessions by typing: #session. The current
  1272. active session is marked with (active). Snooped sessions with
  1273. (snooped). MCCP sessions (compression) with (mccp 2) and (mccp 3).
  1274. </span><span style='color:#5F5'>
  1275. Split
  1276. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>
  1277. Command</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #split
  1278. The split command will create a separated input and output area.
  1279. Using the #prompt command you can capture the prompt and place it on
  1280. the split line. To get rid of the split interface you can use #unsplit
  1281. which will restore the terminal settings to default.
  1282. </span><span style='color:#5F5'>
  1283. Alias
  1284. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>
  1285. Command</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #alias </span><span style='color:#FFF'>{</span><span style='color:#AAA'>name</span><span style='color:#FFF'>} {</span><span style='color:#AAA'>commands</span><span style='color:#FFF'>}</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1286. The syntax of the #alias command is almost like alias in csh.
  1287. Use this command to define aliases. The variables %0, %1.. %9 contain
  1288. the arguments to the aliased command as follows:
  1289. the %0 variable contains all the arguments.
  1290. the %1 variable contains the 1st argument
  1291. ....
  1292. the %9 variable contains the 9th argument
  1293. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #alias greet say Greetings, most honorable %1
  1294. If you want an alias to execute more commands, you must use braces.
  1295. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #alias ws </span><span style='color:#FFF'>{</span><span style='color:#AAA'>wake;stand</span><span style='color:#FFF'>}</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1296. To delete an alias use the #unalias command.
  1297. WARNING! TinTin++ doesn't baby sit, and hence does not check for
  1298. recursive aliases! You can avoid recursion by escaping the entire
  1299. line.
  1300. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #alias put &bsol;put %1 in %2
  1301. Or by using the send command.
  1302. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #alias put #send put %1 in %2
  1303. </span><span style='color:#5F5'> Action
  1304. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Command</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #action </span><span style='color:#FFF'>{</span><span style='color:#AAA'>action-text</span><span style='color:#FFF'>} {</span><span style='color:#AAA'>commands</span><span style='color:#FFF'>}</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1305. Use this command to define an action to take place when a particular
  1306. text appears on your screen. There are 99 variables you can use as
  1307. wildcards in the action-text.
  1308. These variables are %1, %2, %3 .... %9, %10, %11 ... %97, %98, %99.
  1309. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #action </span><span style='color:#FFF'>{</span><span style='color:#AAA'>You are hungry</span><span style='color:#FFF'>} {</span><span style='color:#AAA'>get bread bag;eat bread</span><span style='color:#FFF'>}</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1310. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #action </span><span style='color:#FFF'>{</span><span style='color:#AAA'>%1 has arrived.</span><span style='color:#FFF'>}</span><span style='color:#AAA'> shake %1 -- shake hands with people arriving.
  1311. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #action </span><span style='color:#FFF'>{</span><span style='color:#AAA'>%1 tells you '%2'</span><span style='color:#FFF'>}
  1312. {</span><span style='color:#AAA'>tell bob %1 told me '%2'</span><span style='color:#FFF'>}</span><span style='color:#AAA'> -- forward tells.
  1313. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #action </span><span style='color:#FFF'>{</span><span style='color:#AAA'>tells you</span><span style='color:#FFF'>}</span><span style='color:#AAA'> #bell -- beep on tell.
  1314. You can have TinTin++ ignore actions if you type '#ignore actions on'.
  1315. You can see what commands TinTin++ executes when an action triggers
  1316. by typing '#debug actions on'.
  1317. You can remove actions with the #unaction command.
  1318. </span><span style='color:#5F5'>
  1319. Command files
  1320. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1321. When you order TinTin++ to read a command file, it parses all the text
  1322. in the file. You can use command files to keep aliases/actions in,
  1323. login to a server (name, password etc..) and basically all kinds of
  1324. commands.
  1325. You can make the command files with either a text editor (suggested),
  1326. or use the #write command to write out a file.
  1327. Commands for files:
  1328. #read filename -- read and execute the file.
  1329. #write filename -- write all actions/aliases/substitutes/etc known for
  1330. the current session to a file.
  1331. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>:
  1332. #session x mymud.com 1234
  1333. myname
  1334. mypassword
  1335. #split
  1336. #action {^You are hungry.} {eat bread}
  1337. If you save the above five lines to a file named 'mymud.tin' you can
  1338. use 'tt++ mymud.tin' to start tintin and execute the file, connecting
  1339. you to your mud, logging in, enabling split mode, and setting an action
  1340. to eat a bread whenever you go hungry.
  1341. </span><span style='color:#5F5'>
  1342. Highlight
  1343. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Command</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #highlight </span><span style='color:#FFF'>{</span><span style='color:#AAA'>text</span><span style='color:#FFF'>} {</span><span style='color:#AAA'>color</span><span style='color:#FFF'>}</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1344. This command works a bit like #action. The purpose of this command is
  1345. to substitute text from the server with color you provide. This command
  1346. is a simplified version of the #substitute command.
  1347. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #high </span><span style='color:#FFF'>{</span><span style='color:#AAA'>Snowy</span><span style='color:#FFF'>} {</span><span style='color:#AAA'>light yellow</span><span style='color:#FFF'>}</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1348. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #high </span><span style='color:#FFF'>{</span><span style='color:#AAA'>%*Snowy%*</span><span style='color:#FFF'>} {</span><span style='color:#AAA'>light yellow</span><span style='color:#FFF'>}</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1349. Use #unhigh to delete highlights.
  1350. </span><span style='color:#5F5'> Speedwalk
  1351. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1352. If you type a command consisting ONLY of letters and numbers n, e, s,
  1353. w, u, d - then this command can be interpreted as a serie of movement
  1354. commands.
  1355. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: ssw2n -- go south, south, west, north, north
  1356. If you have problems with typing some commands that actually ONLY
  1357. consists of these letters, then type them in CAPS. For example when
  1358. checking the NEWS or when asked to enter NEW as your name.
  1359. You must enable speedwalking with: #config speedwalk on.
  1360. </span><span style='color:#5F5'>
  1361. Ticker
  1362. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Command</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #ticker </span><span style='color:#FFF'>{</span><span style='color:#AAA'>name</span><span style='color:#FFF'>} {</span><span style='color:#AAA'>commands</span><span style='color:#FFF'>} {</span><span style='color:#AAA'>seconds</span><span style='color:#FFF'>}</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1363. The name can be whatever you want it to be, and is only required for
  1364. the unticker command. The commands will be executed every x amount of
  1365. seconds, which is specified in the interval part.
  1366. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #tick </span><span style='color:#FFF'>{</span><span style='color:#AAA'>tick</span><span style='color:#FFF'>} {</span><span style='color:#AAA'>#delay 50 #show 10 SECONDS TO TICK!;#show TICK!!!</span><span style='color:#FFF'>} {</span><span style='color:#AAA'>60</span><span style='color:#FFF'>}</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1367. This creates a ticker with the name </span><span style='color:#FFF'>{</span><span style='color:#AAA'>tick</span><span style='color:#FFF'>}</span><span style='color:#AAA'> which will print TICK!!!,
  1368. as well as print a warning when the next tick will occure.
  1369. You can remove tickers with #untick
  1370. </span><span style='color:#5F5'>
  1371. Repeating Commands
  1372. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1373. You can repeat a command, the syntax is: #number command
  1374. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #5 cackle -- if you just killed bob the wizard.
  1375. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #10 </span><span style='color:#FFF'>{</span><span style='color:#AAA'>buy bread;put bread bag</span><span style='color:#FFF'>}</span><span style='color:#AAA'> -- repeat these 2 commands 10 times.
  1376. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #100 ooc w00t w00t!!!!! -- nochannel yourself.
  1377. </span><span style='color:#5F5'>
  1378. History
  1379. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1380. TinTin++ has a limited subset of the csh history features.
  1381. ! -- repeat the last command
  1382. !cast -- repeat the last command starting with cast
  1383. ctrl-r -- enter the reverse history search mode.
  1384. </span><span style='color:#5F5'>
  1385. Map commands
  1386. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1387. TinTin++ has a powerful highly configurable automapper. Whenever
  1388. you type n/ne/e/se/s/sw/w/nw/n/u/d tt++ tries to keep track of your
  1389. movement.
  1390. Commands for map:
  1391. #map create -- create a map.
  1392. #map goto 1 -- go to the first room in the map, created by default.
  1393. #map map -- display the map.
  1394. #map undo -- undo your last map alteration.
  1395. #map write &lt;filename&gt; -- save the map to file.
  1396. #map read &lt;filename&gt; -- load a map from file.
  1397. There are many other map options and it's beyond the scope of this
  1398. help section to explain everything there is to know, but I'll give
  1399. a set of commands that will get most people started.
  1400. #map create
  1401. #split 12 1
  1402. #map flag unicode on
  1403. #map flag vt on
  1404. #map goto 1
  1405. These commands will create a 12 row vt100 split section at the top of
  1406. your screen where a map drawn using unicode characters is displayed.
  1407. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #action </span><span style='color:#FFF'>{</span><span style='color:#AAA'>There is no exit in that direction.</span><span style='color:#FFF'>} {</span><span style='color:#AAA'>#map undo</span><span style='color:#FFF'>}</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1408. The map will be automatically created as you move around.
  1409. </span><span style='color:#5F5'>
  1410. Help

  1412. The help command is your friend and contains the same helpfiles
  1413. inside TinTin++ as are available on the website. If you type #help
  1414. without an argument you will see the various available help subjects
  1415. which try to explain the TinTin++ commands and features in greater
  1416. detail. Entries in cyan describe commands, while entries in white
  1417. describe various features, often in greater detail.

  1587. <a name='LISTS'></a>
  1588. </span><span style='color:#FF5'> LISTS
  1589. </span><span style='color:#AAA'> There are several different types of lists in tintin which behave in a
  1590. fairly universal manner. To properly explain lists it's easiest to
  1591. explain the most basic variable type first before discussing more
  1592. complex types.
  1593. - Basic variable: The standard key = value variable.
  1594. - Simple list: A string that contains semicolon delimited fields.
  1595. {a;b;c}. Can be saved as a variable.
  1596. - Brace list: A string in which fields are delimited with braces.
  1597. {a}{b}{c}. Brace lists cannot be stored as a variable because tables
  1598. use braces as well, they must be stored as a simple list instead.
  1599. - Table: Think of this as variables nested within another variable. Or
  1600. as variables contained within another variable.
  1601. - List: A table that uses integers for its indexes. Also known as an
  1602. array. The #list command is a utility command for using tables as
  1603. arrays.
  1604. </span><span style='color:#5F5'> Simple Variables
  1605. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1606. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example:
  1607. </span><span style='color:#AAA'> #variable {simple} {Hello World!}
  1608. #show &dollar;simple
  1609. To see if the 'simple' variable exists you can use &amp;{simple} which
  1610. will display 0 if the variable does not exist, or the variable's index
  1611. if it exists.
  1612. If you have multiple variables they are sorted alphabetically and
  1613. numerically. While it's not all that relevant for simple variables,
  1614. the first variable has index 1, the second variable index 2, and so
  1615. on.
  1616. Variable names need to start with a letter and only exist of letters,
  1617. numbers, and underscores. If you need to use a non standard variable
  1618. name this is possible using braces.
  1619. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example: </span><span style='color:#AAA'>#variable {:)} {Happy Happy!};#show &dollar;{:)}
  1620. Variables can be accessed using their index. While primarily useful
  1621. for tables it is possible to do this for simple variables. Use +1 for
  1622. the first variable, +2 for the second variable, etc. Use -1 for the
  1623. last variable, -2 for the second last variable, etc.
  1624. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example:</span><span style='color:#AAA'> #show The first variable is: *{+1} with value: &dollar;{+1}
  1625. </span><span style='color:#5F5'> Removing Variables
  1626. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1627. To remove a variable, use #unvariable or #unvar (every command can be
  1628. abbreviated). It's possible to remove multiple variables at once
  1629. using #unvar {var 1} {var 2} {etc}
  1630. Variables are unique to each session, so if you have multiple
  1631. sessions, removing a variable from one session won't remove it from
  1632. other sessions.
  1633. If you remove a table variable, all variables contained within that
  1634. table variable are removed as well.
  1635. </span><span style='color:#5F5'> Simple Lists
  1636. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1637. A simple list is a string that contains semicolon delimited fields.
  1638. Commands can be entered as simple lists, for example:
  1639. #show {a};#show {b} will execute a single line as two commands.
  1640. Several commands take a simple list as their input, these are:
  1641. #foreach, #line substitute, #path load, #list create, and #highlight.
  1642. </span><span style='color:#5F5'> Brace Lists
  1643. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1644. A brace list is a string in which fields are delimited with braces.
  1645. Most commands take a brace list for their arguments, for example:
  1646. #session {x} {mud.com} {1234} {mud.tin}. The session command takes
  1647. 4 arguments, the 4th argument (command file) is optional.
  1648. Commands that take a simple list as their input will also accept a
  1649. brace list, keep in mind you'll have to embed the brace list in an
  1650. extra set of braces, for example: #path load {{n}{s}{w}{w}}, which is
  1651. identical to: #path load {n;s;w;w}.
  1652. Brace lists cannot be stored as variables because TinTin++ will
  1653. confuse them with tables. You can convert a brace list to a table
  1654. variable using: #list {bracelist} {create} {{a}{b}{c}} this will look
  1655. internally as: {{1}{a}{2}{b}{3}{c}}. You can then convert this table
  1656. back to a simple list using: #list {bracelist} {simplify} which will
  1657. change it to {a;b;c}.
  1658. Braces cannot easily be escaped in TinTin++. Using &bsol;{ or &bsol;} will not
  1659. work. The reason for this is due to several factors, but primarily
  1660. backward compatibility. To escape braces you must define them using
  1661. hexadecimal notation using &bsol;x7B and &bsol;x7D. See #help escape for a list
  1662. of escape options, and the help file will also remind you of how to
  1663. escape braces.
  1664. </span><span style='color:#5F5'> Tables
  1665. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1666. Tables are key/value pairs stored within a variable. Tables are also
  1667. known as associative arrays, dictionaries, maps, nested variables,
  1668. structures, and probably a couple of other names. There are several
  1669. ways to create and access tables.
  1670. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example:</span><span style='color:#AAA'> #variable {friendlist} {{bob}{bob@mail.com} {bubba}{sunset@gmail.com}}
  1671. This will create a friendlist with two entries, the key is the name of
  1672. the friend, the value is the email address of the friend. You can see
  1673. the email address of bob using: #show {&dollar;friendlist[bob]}. You can
  1674. also define this table as following:
  1675. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example:</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1676. #variable {friendlist[bob]} {bob@mail.com}
  1677. #variable {friendlist[bubba]} {sunset@gmail.com}
  1678. This would create the exact same table as the single line declaration
  1679. used previously. To see the first key in the table use:
  1680. *friendlist[+1], to see the first value in the table use:
  1681. &dollar;friendlist[+1]. To see the size of the table use &amp;friendlist[]. To
  1682. print a bracelist of all friends use *friendlist[], to print a
  1683. bracelist of all friends whose name starts with the letter 'a' you
  1684. would use: *friendlist[a%*]. Similarly to see the number of friends
  1685. you have whose name ends with the letter 'b' you would use:
  1686. &amp;friendlist[%*b].
  1687. See #help regexp for a brief overview of regular expression options.
  1688. While TinTin++ supports PCRE (perl-compatible regular expressions), it
  1689. embeds them within its own regular expression syntax that is simpler
  1690. and less invasive, while still allowing the full power of PCRE for
  1691. those who need it.
  1692. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example:</span><span style='color:#AAA'> #unvariable {friendlist[bubba]}
  1693. This would remove {bubba} from the friendlist. To remove the entire
  1694. friendlist you would use: #unvariable {friendlist}.
  1695. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example:</span><span style='color:#AAA'> #variable {friendlist} {{bob} {{email}{bob@ma.il} {phone}{123456789}}}
  1696. There is no limit to the number of nests, simply add more braces. To
  1697. see Bob's email in this example you would use:
  1698. #show {&dollar;friendlist[bob][email]}.
  1699. To merge two tables the #cat command can be used.
  1700. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example:
  1701. </span><span style='color:#AAA'> #variable {bli} {{a}{1}{b}{2}}
  1702. #variable {blo} {{c}{3}{d}{4}}
  1703. #cat {blo} {&dollar;bli}
  1704. </span><span style='color:#5F5'> Lists
  1705. </span><span style='color:#AAA'> Tables are sorted alphabetically with the exception of numbers which
  1706. are sorted numerically. If you want to determine the sorting order
  1707. yourself you can use use the #list command which helps you to use
  1708. tables as arrays.
  1709. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example:</span><span style='color:#AAA'> #action {%1 chats %2} {#list chats add {%0}}
  1710. Each time a chat is received it's added to the end of the 'chats' list
  1711. variable. If you type #variable chats this might look like:
  1712. </span><span style='color:#FF5'>#</span><span style='color:#5FF'>VARIABLE </span><span style='color:#A0A'>{</span><span style='color:#FFF'>chats</span><span style='color:#A0A'>}
  1713. {
  1714. {</span><span style='color:#FFF'>1</span><span style='color:#A0A'>} {</span><span style='color:#FFF'>Bubba chats Hi</span><span style='color:#A0A'>}
  1715. {</span><span style='color:#FFF'>2</span><span style='color:#A0A'>} {</span><span style='color:#FFF'>Bob chats Hi bub</span><span style='color:#A0A'>}
  1716. {</span><span style='color:#FFF'>3</span><span style='color:#A0A'>} {</span><span style='color:#FFF'>Bubba chats Bye</span><span style='color:#A0A'>}
  1717. {</span><span style='color:#FFF'>4</span><span style='color:#A0A'>} {</span><span style='color:#FFF'>Bob chats bub bye</span><span style='color:#A0A'>}
  1718. }
  1719. </span><span style='color:#5F5'> Parsing
  1720. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1721. There are various ways to parse lists and tables, using either #loop,
  1722. #foreach, #while, or #&lt;number&gt;.
  1723. #loop takes two numeric arguments, incrementing or decrementing the
  1724. first number until it matches the second number. The value of the loop
  1725. counter is stored in the provided variable.
  1726. #foreach takes either a simple list or a brace list as its first
  1727. argument. Foreach will go through each item in the list and store the
  1728. value in the provided variable.
  1729. #while will perform an if check on the first argument, if the result
  1730. is true it will execute the commands in the second argument. Then it
  1731. performs an if check on the first argument again. It will continue to
  1732. repeat until the if check returns 0 or the loop is interrupted with a
  1733. control flow command. It takes special care to avoid infinite loops.
  1734. #&lt;number&gt; will execute the provided argument 'number' times. For
  1735. example: #4 {#show beep! &bsol;a}
  1736. Here are some examples.
  1737. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example:</span><span style='color:#AAA'> #list friends create {bob;bubba;zorro}
  1738. Internally this looks like {{1}{bob}{2}{bubba}{3}{zorro}} and the
  1739. list can be parsed in various ways.
  1740. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example:</span><span style='color:#AAA'> #foreach {&dollar;friends[%*]} {name} {#show &dollar;name}
  1741. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example:</span><span style='color:#AAA'> #foreach {*friends[%*]} {i} {#show &dollar;friends[&dollar;i]}
  1742. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example:</span><span style='color:#AAA'> #loop {1} {&amp;friends[]} {i} {#show &dollar;friends[+&dollar;i]}
  1743. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example:</span><span style='color:#AAA'> #math i 1;#while {&amp;friends[+&dollar;i]} {#show &dollar;friends[+&dollar;i];
  1744. #math i &dollar;i + 1}
  1745. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example:</span><span style='color:#AAA'> #math i 1;#&amp;friends[] {#show &dollar;friends[+&dollar;i];#math i &dollar;i + 1}
  1746. Each of the five examples above performs the same task; printing the
  1747. three names in the friends list.
  1748. If you want to get a better look at what goes on behind the scenes
  1749. while executing scripts you can use '#debug all on'. To stop seeing
  1750. debug information use '#debug all off'.
  1751. </span><span style='color:#5F5'> List Tables
  1752. </span><span style='color:#AAA'> List tables are also known as databases and the #list command has
  1753. several options to manipulate them.
  1754. For these options to work properly all tables need to have identical
  1755. keys. Here is an example list table.
  1756. #var {friendlist}
  1757. {
  1758. {1}{{name}{bob} {age}{54}}
  1759. {2}{{name}{bubba} {age}{21}}
  1760. {3}{{name}{pamela} {age}{36}}
  1761. }
  1762. To sort the list table by age you would use:
  1763. #list friendlist indexate age
  1764. #list friendlist order
  1765. To remove everyone whose name starts with a 'b' you would use:
  1766. #list friendlist indexate name
  1767. #list friendlist filter {} {b%*}
  1768. The filter option only supports regular expressions. To filter
  1769. using mathematics you would loop through the list backwards:
  1770. #loop &amp;friendlist[] 1 index
  1771. {
  1772. #if {&dollar;friendlist[+&dollar;index][age] &lt; 30}
  1773. {
  1774. #list friendlist delete &dollar;index
  1775. }
  1776. }
  1777. Alternatively you can use the refine option.
  1778. #list friendlist indexate age
  1779. #list friendlist refine {&amp;0 &gt;= 30}
  1780. To add an item to a list table there are two options:
  1781. #list friendlist add {{{name}{hobo} {age}{42}}}
  1782. #list friendlist insert -1 {{name}{hobo} {age}{42}}
  1783. </span><span style='color:#5F5'> Optimization
  1784. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1785. TinTin++ tables are exceptionally fast while they remain under 100
  1786. items. Once a table grows beyond 10000 items there can be performance
  1787. issues when inserting and removing items in the beginning or middle of
  1788. the table.
  1789. The plan is to eventually implement an indexable and flexible data
  1790. structure for large tables.
  1791. If you load a large table from file it's important to make sure it's
  1792. sorted, when using #write to save a table it's automatically sorted.
  1793. If you notice performance issues on large tables it's relatively easy
  1794. to create a hash table.
  1795. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example:</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1796. #alias {sethash}
  1797. {
  1798. #format hash %H %1;
  1799. #math hash1 &dollar;hash % 100;
  1800. #math hash2 &dollar;hash / 100 % 100;
  1801. #var hashtable[&dollar;hash1][&dollar;hash2][%1] %2
  1802. }
  1803. #function {gethash}
  1804. {
  1805. #format hash %H %1;
  1806. #math hash1 &dollar;hash % 100;
  1807. #math hash2 &dollar;hash / 100 % 100;
  1808. #return &dollar;hashtable[&dollar;hash1][&dollar;hash2][%1]
  1809. }
  1810. #alias {test}
  1811. {
  1812. sethash bli hey;
  1813. sethash bla hi;
  1814. sethash blo hello;
  1815. #show The value of bla is: @gethash{bla}
  1816. }
  1817. The above script will rapidly store and retrieve over 1 million items.
  1818. Looping through a hash table is relatively easy as well.
  1819. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example:</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  1820. #alias {showhash}
  1821. {
  1822. #foreach {*hashtable[%*]} {hash1}
  1823. {

  1825. {
  1826. #echo {%-20s = %s}
  1827. {hashtable[&dollar;hash1][&dollar;hash2]}
  1828. {&dollar;hashtable[&dollar;hash1][&dollar;hash2]}
  1829. }

  1839. regular variable.
  1840. Commands that store information to a variable will use a local variable
  1841. if it exists.
  1842. Avoid setting the result variable as local in a function.
  1843. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #alias {swap} {#local x %0;#replace x {e} {u};#show &dollar;x}

  2163. </span><span style='color:#FF5'> MAPPING
  2164. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2165. TinTin++ has a powerful automapper that uses a room system similar to
  2166. Diku MUDs which means that odd map layouts and weird exit
  2167. configurations aren't a problem. The mapper provides tools to improve
  2168. the visual map display. For basic path tracking see #help PATH.
  2169. </span><span style='color:#FFF'> #map create [size]
  2170. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2171. This command creates the initial map. The size is 50,000 by default
  2172. and can be changed at any time with the #map resize command. If you
  2173. play a MUD that uses MSDP or GMCP to provide room numbers you'll have
  2174. to increase it to the highest reported room number. Increasing the
  2175. size of the map doesn't decrease performance.
  2176. </span><span style='color:#FFF'> #map goto &lt;location&gt;
  2177. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2178. When you create the map you are not automatically inside the map. By
  2179. default room number (vnum) 1 is created, so you can go to it using
  2180. #map goto 1. Once you are inside the map new rooms are automatically
  2181. created as you move around. Movement commands are defined with the
  2182. pathdir command. By default n, ne, e, se, s, sw, w, nw, u, d are
  2183. defined.
  2184. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>
  2185. #map map &lt;rows&gt; &lt;cols&gt; &lt;append|overwrite|list|variable&gt; &lt;name&gt;
  2186. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2187. To see the map you can use #map map. It's annoying to have to
  2188. constantly type #map map however. Instead it's possible to use #split
  2189. to display a vt100 map. To do so execute:
  2190. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>#split 16 1
  2191. #map flag vtmap on</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2192. The first command sets the top split lines to 16 and the bottom split
  2193. line to 1. If you want a smaller or larger map display you can use a
  2194. different value than 16.
  2195. If you don't need to display diagonal exits and prefer a more compact
  2196. look you can use #map flag AsciiGraphics off. This will enable the
  2197. standard display which uses UTF-8 box drawing characters, results may
  2198. vary depending on the font used.
  2199. If your terminal supports UTF-8 you can also give #map flag unicode on
  2200. a try.
  2201. If you want to display the map in a different location of the screen
  2202. use something like:
  2203. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>#split 0 1 0 -80
  2204. #map offset 1 81 -4 -1</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2205. This will display the map on the right side of the screen, if the
  2206. width of the screen is wide enough.
  2207. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>
  2208. #map undo
  2209. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2210. If you accidentally walk into the wall on your MUD the mapper will
  2211. still create a new room. You can easily fix this mistake by using
  2212. #map undo. If you want to move around on the map without moving around
  2213. on the MUD you can use: #map move {direction}. To delete a room
  2214. manually you can use: #map delete {direction}. To create a room
  2215. manually you can use: #map dig {direction}.
  2216. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>
  2217. #map write &lt;filename&gt;
  2218. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2219. You can save your map using #map write, to load a map you can use
  2220. #map read &lt;filename&gt;.
  2221. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>
  2222. #map set &lt;option&gt; &lt;value&gt;
  2223. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2224. You can set the room name using #map set roomname &lt;name&gt;. You either
  2225. have to do this manually or create triggers to set the room name
  2226. automatically. Once the room name is set you can use #map goto with
  2227. the room name to visit it. If there are two rooms with the same name
  2228. #map goto will go to the most nearby room. If you want to always go
  2229. to the same room you should memorize the room number or create a
  2230. landmark.
  2231. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>
  2232. #map landmark firstroom 1
  2233. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2234. You can further narrow down the matches by providing additional
  2235. arguments, for example:
  2236. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>
  2237. #map goto {dark alley} {roomexits} {n;e} {roomarea} {Haddock Ville}
  2238. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2239. You can set the room weight using #map set roomweight {value}. The
  2240. weight by default is set to 1.0 and it represents the difficulty of
  2241. traversing the room. If you have a lake as an alternative route, and
  2242. traversing water rooms is 4 times slower than regular rooms, then you
  2243. could set the weight of the lake rooms to 4.0. If the lake is 3 rooms
  2244. wide the total weight is 12. If walking around the lake has a weight
  2245. less than 12 the mapper will go around the lake, if the weight is
  2246. greater than 12 the mapper will take a route through the lake.
  2247. You can set the room symbol using #map set roomsymbol {value}. The
  2248. symbol should be one, two, or three characters, which can be
  2249. colorized. You can for example mark shops with an 'S' and colorize the
  2250. 'S' depending on what type of shop it is.
  2251. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>
  2252. #map run &lt;location&gt; &lt;delay&gt;
  2253. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2254. The run command will have tintin find the shortest path to the given
  2255. location and execute the movement commands to get there. You can
  2256. provide a delay in seconds with floating point precision, for example:
  2257. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>
  2258. #map run {dark alley} {0.5}
  2259. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2260. This will make you walk towards the nearest dark alley with 0.5 second
  2261. intervals. Typical MUDs accept commands at 0.25 second intervals.
  2262. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>
  2263. #map insert {direction} {flag}
  2264. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2265. The insert command is useful for adding spacer rooms called void rooms.
  2266. Often rooms overlap, and by adding void rooms you can stretch out
  2267. exits. For example: #map insert north void. You cannot enter void rooms
  2268. once they've been created, so you'll have to use #map info in an
  2269. adjacent room to find the room vnum, then use #map goto {vnum} to
  2270. visit.
  2271. It's also possible to align rooms using void rooms. This is easily
  2272. done using #map insert north void.

  2313. Strings must be enclosed in &quot; &quot; or { } and in the case of an == or

  2315. right-hand string. In the case of a &lt;= or &gt;= operation the alphabetic
  2316. order is compared.
  2317. The #if and #switch commands use #math. Several commands accepting
  2318. numeric input allow math operations as well, such as #delay.
  2319. Floating point precision is added by using the decimal . operator or
  2320. using #format with the %f flag character.
  2321. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #math {heals} {&dollar;mana / 40}

  2423. </span><span style='color:#FF5'> MSLP
  2424. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2425. MSLP (Mud Server Link Protocol) requires enabling #config mouse on,
  2426. and creating the appropriate LINK events.
  2427. The simplest link can be created by surrounding a keyword with the
  2428. &bsol;e[4m and &bsol;e[24m tags.
  2429. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #substitute {&bsol;b{n|e|s|w|u|d}&bsol;b} {&bsol;e[4m%1&bsol;e[24m}
  2430. This would display 'Exits: n, e, w.' as 'Exits: n, e, w.'.
  2431. When clicked this would trigger the PRESSED LINK MOUSE BUTTON ONE
  2432. event of which %4 will hold the link command and %6 holds the
  2433. link name, which in the case of a simple link will be empty.
  2434. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #event {PRESSED LINK MOUSE BUTTON ONE} {#send {%4}}
  2435. Keep in mind that if you change PRESSED to DOUBLE-CLICKED the link
  2436. will only work if the text does not scroll in between clicks.
  2437. If you want to create a complex link use an OSC code.
  2438. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #sub {&bsol;bsmurf&bsol;b} {&bsol;e]68;1;;say I hate smurfs!&bsol;a&bsol;e[4m%0&bsol;e[24m}
  2439. If you have the LINK event of the previous example set, the %4
  2440. argument will contain 'say I hate smurfs!'.
  2441. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #sub {&bsol;bgoblin&bsol;b} {&bsol;e]68;1;SEND;kill goblin&bsol;a&bsol;e[4m%0&bsol;e[24m}
  2442. Notice the previous instance of ;; has been replaced with ;SEND;
  2443. which will name the link. This will generate a named event.
  2444. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #event {PRESSED LINK SEND MOUSE BUTTON ONE} {#send {%4}}
  2445. By naming links you can organize things a little bit better instead
  2446. of tunneling everything through the same event.
  2447. Keep in mind that the server is allowed to use &bsol;e]68;1;&bsol;a as well,
  2448. subsequently various security measures are in place.
  2449. To create secure links, which are filtered out when send by a server,
  2450. you need to use &bsol;e]68;2;&bsol;a, and they instead trigger the SECURE LINK
  2451. event.
  2452. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #sub {%* tells %*} {&bsol;e]68;2;EXEC;#cursor set tell %1 &bsol;a&bsol;e[4m%0&bsol;e[24m}
  2453. </span><span style='color:#FFF'> </span><span style='color:#AAA'> #event {PRESSED SECURE LINK EXEC MOUSE BUTTON ONE} {%4}
  2454. This would make you start a reply when clicking on a tell.

  2460. Short for 'no operation', and is ignored by the client. It is useful
  2461. for commenting in your coms file, any text after the nop and before a

  2463. though, unless you close them properly.
  2464. A valid alternative for #nop is #0.
  2465. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Comment</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: By using braces you can comment out multiple lines of code in a script
  2466. file.
  2467. For commenting out an entire trigger and especially large sections of

  2524. <a name='PCRE'></a>
  2525. </span><span style='color:#FF5'> PCRE
  2526. </span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2527. A regular expression, regex or regexp is a sequence of characters that
  2528. defines a search pattern. Since the 1980s, different syntaxes for
  2529. writing regular expressions exist, the two most widely used ones being
  2530. the POSIX syntax and the similar but more advanced Perl standard.
  2531. TinTin++ supports the Perl standard known as PCRE (Perl Compatible
  2532. Regular Expressions).
  2533. Regular expressions are an integral part of TinTin++, but keep in mind
  2534. that tintin doesn't allow you to use regular expressions directly,
  2535. instead it uses a simpler intermediate syntax that still allows more
  2536. complex expressions when needed.
  2537. Commands that utilize regular expressions are: action, alias, elseif,
  2538. gag, grep, highlight, if, kill, local, math, prompt, regexp, replace,
  2539. substitute, switch, variable and while. Several other commands use
  2540. regular expressions in minor ways. Fortunately the basics are very
  2541. easy to learn.
  2542. </span><span style='color:#FFF'> TinTin++ Regular Expression</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2543. The following support is available for regular expressions.
  2544. ^ match start of line.
  2545. &dollar; match of end of line.
  2546. &bsol; escape one character.
  2547. %1-%99 match of any text, stored in the corresponding index.
  2548. %0 should be avoided in the regex, contains all matched text.
  2549. { } embed a perl compatible regular expression, matches are stored.
  2550. %!{ } embed a perl compatible regular expression, matches are not stored.
  2551. [ ] . + | ( ) ? * are treated as normal text unless used within braces. Keep in
  2552. mind that { } is replaced with ( ) automatically unless %!{ } is used.
  2553. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>
  2554. TinTin++ Description POSIX</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2555. %d Match zero to any number of digits ([0-9]*?)
  2556. %D Match zero to any number of non-digits ([^0-9]*?)
  2557. %i Matches become case insensitive (?i)
  2558. %I Matches become case sensitive (default) (?-i)
  2559. %s Match zero to any number of spaces ([&bsol;r&bsol;n&bsol;t ]*?)
  2560. %w Match zero to any number of word characters ([A-Za-z0-9_]*?)
  2561. %W Match zero to any number of non-word characters ([^A-Za-z0-9_]*?)
  2562. %? Match zero or one character (.??)
  2563. %. Match one character (.)
  2564. %+ Match one to any number of characters (.+?)
  2565. %* Match zero to any number of characters (.*?)
  2566. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>
  2567. Variables</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2568. If you use %1 in an action to perform a match the matched string is
  2569. stored in the %1 variable which can be used in the action body.
  2570. Example: #act {%1 says 'Tickle me'} {tickle %1}
  2571. If you use %2 the match is stored in %2, etc. If you use an unnumbered
  2572. match like %* or %S the match is stored at the last used index
  2573. incremented by one.
  2574. Example: #act {%3 says '%*'} {#if {&quot;%4&quot; == &quot;Tickle me&quot;} {tickle %3}}
  2575. The maximum variable index is 99. If you begin an action with %* the
  2576. match is stored in %1. You should never use %0 in the trigger part of
  2577. an action, when used in the body of an action %0 contains all the parts
  2578. of the string that were matched.
  2579. To prevent a match from being stored use %!*, %!w, etc.
  2580. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>
  2581. Perl Compatible Regular Expressions</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2582. You can embed a PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expression) using curley
  2583. braces { }, these braces are replaced with parentheses ( ) unless you
  2584. use %!{ }.
  2585. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>
  2586. Or</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2587. You can separate alternatives within a PCRE using the | character.
  2588. Example: #act {%* raises {his|her|its} eyebrows.} {say 42..}
  2589. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>
  2590. Brackets</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2591. You can group alternatives and ranges within a PCRE using brackets.
  2592. Example: #act {%* says 'Who is number {[1-9]}?} {say &dollar;number[%2] is number %2}
  2593. The example only triggers if someone provides a number between 1 and
  2594. 9. Any other character will cause the action to not trigger.
  2595. Example: #act {%* says 'Set password to {[^0-9]*}&dollar;} {say The password must
  2596. contain at least one number, not for security reasons, but just to
  2597. annoy you.} {4}
  2598. When the ^ character is used within brackets it creates an inverse
  2599. search, [^0-9] matches every character except for a number between 0
  2600. and 9.
  2601. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>
  2602. Quantification</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2603. A quantifier placed after a match specifies how often the match is
  2604. allowed to occur.
  2605. ? repeat zero or one time.
  2606. * repeat zero or multiple times.
  2607. + repeat once or multiple times.
  2608. {n} repeat exactly n times, n must be a number.
  2609. {n,} repeat at least n times, n must be a number.
  2610. {n,o} repeat between n and o times, n and o must be a number.
  2611. Example: #act {%* says 'Who is number {[1-9][0-9]{0,2}}?} {Say &dollar;number[%2] is
  2612. number %2}
  2613. The example only triggers if someone provides a number between 1 and
  2614. 999.
  2615. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Parantheses</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2616. TinTin Regular Expressions automatically add parenthesis, for example
  2617. %* translates to (.*?) in PCRE unless the %* is found at the start or
  2618. end of the line, in which cases it translates to (.*). Paranthesis in
  2619. PCRE causes a change in execution priority similar to mathematical
  2620. expressions, but parentheses also causes the match to be stored to a
  2621. variable.
  2622. When nesting multiple sets of parentheses each nest is assigned its
  2623. numerical variable in order of appearance.
  2624. Example: #act {%* chats '{Mu(ha)+}'} {chat %2ha!}
  2625. If someone chats Muha you will chat Muhaha! If someone chats Muhaha
  2626. you will chat Muhahaha!
  2627. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Lazy vs Greedy</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2628. By default regex matches are greedy, meaning {.*} will capture as much
  2629. text as possible.
  2630. Example: #regex {bli bla blo} {^{.*} {.*}&dollar;} {#show Arg1=(&amp;1) Arg2=(&amp;2)}
  2631. This will display: Arg1=(bli bla) Arg2=(blo)
  2632. By appending a ? behind a regex it becomes lazy, meaning {.*?} will
  2633. capture as little text as possible.
  2634. Example: #regex {bli bla blo} {^{.*?} {.*?}&dollar;} {#show Arg1=(&amp;1) Arg2=(&amp;2)}
  2635. This will display: Arg1=(bli) Arg2=(bla blo).
  2636. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Escape Codes</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2637. PCRE support the following escape codes.
  2638. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>
  2639. PCRE Description POSIX</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2640. &bsol;A Match start of string ^
  2641. &bsol;b Match word boundaries (^|&bsol;r|&bsol;n|&bsol;t| |&dollar;)
  2642. &bsol;B Match non-word boundaries [^&bsol;r&bsol;n&bsol;t ]
  2643. &bsol;c Insert control character &bsol;c
  2644. &bsol;d Match digits [0-9]
  2645. &bsol;D Match non-digits [^0-9]
  2646. &bsol;e Insert escape character &bsol;e
  2647. &bsol;f Insert form feed character &bsol;f
  2648. &bsol;n Insert line feed character &bsol;n
  2649. &bsol;r Insert carriage return character &bsol;r
  2650. &bsol;s Match spaces [&bsol;r&bsol;n&bsol;t ]
  2651. &bsol;S Match non-spaces [^&bsol;r&bsol;n&bsol;t ]
  2652. &bsol;t Insert tab character &bsol;t
  2653. &bsol;w Match letters, numbers, and underscores [A-Za-z0-9_]
  2654. &bsol;W Match non-letters, numbers, and underscores [^A-Za-z0-9_]
  2655. &bsol;x Insert hex character &bsol;x
  2656. &bsol;Z Match end of string &dollar;
  2657. &bsol;s matches one space, &bsol;s+ matches one or multiple spaces.
  2658. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Color triggers</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  2659. To make matching easier text triggers (Actions, Gags, Highlights,
  2660. Prompts, and Substitutes) have their color codes stripped. If you
  2661. want to create a color trigger you must start the triggers with a ~
  2662. (tilde). To make escape codes visible use #config {convert meta} on.
  2663. Example: #action {~&bsol;e[1;37m%1} {#var roomname %1}
  2664. If the room name is the only line on the server in bright white
  2665. white color trigger will save the roomname.
  2666. This covers the basics. PCRE has more options, most of which are
  2667. somewhat obscure, so you'll have to read a PCRE manual for additional
  2668. information.

  2707. Prompt is a feature for split window mode, which will capture a line
  2708. received from the server and display it on the status bar of your
  2709. split screen terminal. You would define &lt;text&gt; and &lt;new text&gt; the
  2710. same way as you would with #substitute.
  2711. The row number is optional and useful if you use a non standard split
  2712. mode. A positive row number draws #row lines from the top while a
  2713. negative number draws #row lines from the bottom. Without an argument
  2714. #prompt will write to the default split line, which is one row above
  2715. the input line, typically at row -2.
  2716. If the row number is set to 0, #prompt will behave like #substitute.
  2717. This is useful to let tintin know that a prompt was received so you
  2718. can use #config packet_patch with minimal interference.
  2719. The col number is optional and can be used to set the column index.
  2720. A positive col number draws the given number of columns from the left,
  2721. while a negative col number draws from the right. If you leave the
  2722. col number empty tintin will clear the row before printing at the
  2723. start of the row.
  2724. The #show command takes a row and col argument as well so it's also
  2725. possible to place text on your split lines using #show.

  2734. Reads a commands file into memory. The coms file is merged in with
  2735. the currently loaded commands. Duplicate commands are overwritten.
  2736. If you uses braces, { and } you can use several lines for 1 commands.
  2737. This however means you must always match every { with a } for the read
  2738. command to work.
  2739. You can comment out triggers using /* text */

  2744. Compares the string to the given regular expression.
  2745. The expression can contain escapes, and if you want to match a literal
  2746. &bsol; character you'll have to use &bsol;&bsol; to match a single backslash.
  2747. Variables are stored in &amp;1 to &amp;99 with &amp;0 holding the matched
  2748. substring.
  2749. The #regex command is not a proper statement like #if, when using
  2750. #return or #break in the {true} argument it won't terminate any loop
  2751. the #regex command is nested within.
  2752. ^ force match of start of line.
  2753. &dollar; force match of end of line.
  2754. &bsol; escape one character.
  2755. %1-%99 lazy match of any text, available at %1-%99.
  2756. %0 should be avoided in triggers, and if left alone lists all matches.
  2757. { } embed a raw regular expression, matches are stored to %1-%99.
  2758. %!{ } embed a raw regular expression, matches are not stored.
  2759. [ ] . + | ( ) ? * are treated as normal text unlessed used within
  2760. braces. Keep in mind that { } is replaced with ( ) automatically
  2761. unless %!{ } is used.
  2762. Of the following the (lazy) match is available at %1-%99 + 1
  2763. %d match zero to any number of digits.
  2764. %D match zero to any number of non digits.

  2767. %w match zero to any number of word characters.
  2768. %W match zero to any number of non word characters.
  2769. Experimental (subject to change) matches are:
  2770. %a match zero to any number of characters including newlines.
  2771. %A match zero to any number of newlines.
  2772. %c match zero to any number of ansi color codes.
  2773. %p match zero to any number of printable characters.
  2774. %P match zero to any number of non printable characters.
  2775. %u match zero to any number of unicode characters.
  2776. %U match zero to any number of non unicode characters.
  2777. If you want to match 1 digit use %+1d, if you want to match between 3
  2778. and 5 spaces use %+3..5s, if you want to match 0 or more word
  2779. characters use %+0..w, etc.
  2780. %+ match one to any number of characters.
  2781. %? match zero or one character.
  2782. %. match one character.
  2783. %* match zero to any number of characters.
  2784. %i matching becomes case insensitive.
  2785. %I matching becomes case sensitive (default).
  2786. The match is automatically stored to a value between %1 and %99
  2787. starting at %1 and incrementing by 1 for every regex. If you use
  2788. %15 as a regular expression, the next unnumbered regular expression
  2789. would be %16. To prevent a match from being stored use %!*, %!w, etc.

  2955. already existing session, a number, or the keywords '+' and '-'.
  2956. If a file name is given the file is only read if the session
  2957. succesfully connects.
  2958. Without an argument #session shows the currently defined sessions.
  2959. If you have more than one session, you can use the following commands:
  2960. #session {-} Switch to the previous session.
  2961. #session {+} Switch to the next session.
  2962. #session {&lt;number&gt;} Switch to the given session. Session 0 is the
  2963. startup session, +1 the first, +2 the second, and
  2964. -1 is the last session. Sessions are (currently)
  2965. sorted in order of creation.
  2966. #gts Switch to the startup session. The name gts stands
  2967. for global tintin session.
  2968. #ats Switch to the active session. The name ats stands

  2984. You can create multiple sessions with the #session command. By default
  2985. only one session is active, meaning commands you input are executed in
  2986. the active session. While all sessions receive output, only output sent
  2987. to the active session is displayed.
  2988. When you create a session with the #session command you must specify a
  2989. session name, the session name, prepended with a hashtag, can be used
  2990. to activate the session when used without an argument. If an argument
  2991. is given it will be executed by that session as a command, the session
  2992. will not be activated.
  2993. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #ses one tintin.net 23;#ses two tintin.net 23;#one;#two grin

  2995. in this case) will be automatically activated upon creation. Using
  2996. #one, session one is activated. Using #two grin, the grin social will
  2997. be executed by session two, session one will remain the active session.
  2998. If you send a variable to another session it will be substituted before

  3076. By default the bottom status bar is filled with dashes --- and
  3077. subsequently it is also known as the split line. The scrolling
  3078. region is also known as the main screen and this is where all
  3079. incoming text is displayed by default.
  3080. If you use #split without an argument it will set the height of the
  3081. top status bar to 0 lines and the bottom status bar to 1 line.
  3082. If you use #split with one argument it will set the height of the top
  3083. status bar to the given number of lines and the bottom status bar will
  3084. be set to 1 line.
  3085. If you use two arguments the first argument is the height of the top
  3086. status bar and the second argument the height of the bottom status bar.
  3087. The third and fourth argument are optional and default to 0.
  3088. The fifth argument is optional and sets the size of the input bar, it
  3089. defaults to 1.
  3090. It is possible to use negative arguments in which case the bar width
  3091. defines the minimum width of the scrolling region.
  3092. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #split 0 0

  3258. The %t format specifier of the #format command allows printing dates
  3259. using the strftime() format specifiers. By default the time stamp used
  3260. is the current time, if you want to print a past or future date use:

  3262. The current epoch time value is obtained using #format {time} {%T}.
  3263. When using %t the argument should contain strftime format specifiers.
  3264. The output may differ depending on your locale. See man strftime.

  3288. <a name='VARIABLE'></a>
  3289. </span><span style='color:#FF5'> VARIABLE
  3290. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Command</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #variable </span><span style='color:#FFF'>{</span><span style='color:#AAA'>variable name</span><span style='color:#FFF'>} {</span><span style='color:#AAA'>text to fill variable</span><span style='color:#FFF'>}</span><span style='color:#AAA'>
  3291. Variables differ from the %0-99 arguments in the fact that you can
  3292. specify a full word as a variable, and they stay in memory for the
  3293. full session unless they are changed. They can be saved in the
  3294. coms file, and can be set to different values if you have two or
  3295. more sessions running at the same time. Variables are global for
  3296. each session and can be accessed by adding a &dollar; before the variable
  3297. name.
  3298. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #alias {target} {#var target %0}
  3299. #alias {x} {kick &dollar;target}
  3300. The name of a variable must exist of only letters, numbers and
  3301. underscores in order to be substituted. If you do not meet these
  3302. requirements do not panic, simply encapsulate the variable in braces:
  3303. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #variable {cool website} {http://tintin.sourceforge.net}
  3304. #chat I was on &dollar;{cool website} yesterday!.
  3305. Variables can be escaped by adding additional &dollar; signs.
  3306. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #var test 42;#showme &dollar;&dollar;test
  3307. Variables can be nested using brackets:
  3308. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #var hp[self] 34;#var hp[target] 46
  3309. You can see the first nest of a variable using &dollar;variable[+1] and the
  3310. last nest using &dollar;variable[-1]. Using &dollar;variable[-2] will report the
  3311. second last variable, and so on. To show all indices use *variable[].
  3312. To show all values use &dollar;variable[]. To show all values from index 2
  3313. through 4 use &dollar;variable[+2..4].
  3314. Nested variables are also known as tables, table generally being used
  3315. to refer to several variables nested within one specific variable.
  3316. It's possible to use regular expressions.
  3317. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #show {Targets starting with the letter A: &dollar;targets[A%*]
  3318. To see the internal index of a variable use &amp;&lt;variable name&gt;. To see
  3319. the size of a table you would use: &amp;targets[] or &amp;targets[%*]. A non
  3320. existent nested variable will report itself as 0.
  3321. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #show {Number of targets starting with A: &amp;targets[A%*]
  3322. In some scripts you need to know the name of a nested variable. This
  3323. is also known as the key, and you can get it using *variable. For
  3324. example *target[+1]. To get the first variable's name use *{+1}.
  3325. It's also possible to declare a table using brace notation. Using
  3326. #var hp[self] 34 is the equivalent of #var {hp} {{self}{34}}. This
  3327. also allows merging tables. #var hp[self] 34;#var hp[target] 46 is
  3328. the equivalent of #var {hp} {{self}{34} {target}{46}} as well as
  3329. #var {hp} {{self}{34}} {{target}{46}} or if you want to get creative
  3330. the equivalent of #var hp[self] 34;#var {hp} {&dollar;hp} {{target}{46}}.
  3331. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Comment</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: You can remove a variable with the #unvariable command.

  3336. This command works similar to a 'while' statement in other languages.
  3337. When a 'while' command is encourated, the conditional is evaluated,
  3338. and if TRUE (any non-zero result) the commands are executed. The
  3339. 'while' loop will be repeated indefinitely until the conditional is
  3340. FALSE or the #BREAK or #RETURN commands are found.
  3341. The 'while' statement is only evaluated if it is read, so you must
  3342. nest it inside a trigger, like an alias or action.
  3343. The conditional is evaluated exactly the same as in the 'math' command.
  3344. </span><span style='color:#FFF'>Example</span><span style='color:#AAA'>: #math cnt 0;#while {&dollar;cnt &lt; 20} {#math cnt &dollar;cnt + 1;say &dollar;cnt}

  3350. Writes all current actions, aliases, subs, highlights, and variables
  3351. to a command file, specified by filename.
  3352. By default you cannot write to .map files to prevent accidentally
  3353. overwriting a map file. Use the FORCE argument to ignore this
  3354. protection.
