| When I create a trigger and try to have it do a multi-line /world.DoAfter I get the following error:
Error number: -2146827255
Event: Execution of line 1 column 27
Description: Unterminated string constant
Line in error:
world.DoAfter 1, "command1
Called by: Immediate execution
I am putting the following into the "Send:" area:
/world.DoAfter 1, "command1
command 2" | | Top |

| VBscript doesn't let you have linefeeds inside strings. You could do something like:
/world.DoAfter 1, "command1"
world.DoAfter 1, "command 2"
However the sequence won't necessarily be what you expect. A better way might be:
/world.DoAfter 1, "command 1" & vbCrLf & "command 2"
That puts a linefeed into the string itself. |

| Thanks! It works, and very well I might add.
I do have a follow-up question though. Do any of the other scripting languages allow for the linefeeds inside strings? | | Top |

Well, that's it for me on this topic.
Thanks again, everyone! | | Top |

| You can do it a bit more neatly in Jscript, like this:
DoAfter (1, "laugh\\nsigh");
Normally it would be \n but MUSHclient expands out \n internally (if it is in the "Send" box) so you need two \\ before the "n".
However in a script file it would be:
DoAfter (1, "laugh\nsigh");

| By the way, the expanding sequences is a security "hole", since if you have a trigger that matches on "* says '*'" and you send "laugh %1", they could do something like
Poromenos\npassword 123 123\nhe says 'test' and it would cause you to send
laugh Poromenos
password 123 123

| | Its things like that which make getting to know regexps and making triggers as specific as possible worth while. |

| The \n is expanded in the trigger send box, not the wildcard expansions. So, if you try what you suggested you would actually see:
laugh Poromenos \n password 123 123
