Hi. I've attempted to adjust Nick's inventory window (http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=9965) to work with group data so I can permanently monitor group stats. I've had trouble gathering the group info though. Here is the raw data i'd like to capture:


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
##| Level   Name         Pos   HitPoints   ManaPoints  MovePoints  TNL    Align
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 1|383 Lord September    Sleep 54202/54202 1141/1141   18481/18481 499    1000
 2|999 Lord Someone      Sleep 23635/23635 31040/31040 32480/32960 713    1000
 3|999 Lord Alrin        Sleep 29012/29012 70599/70599 30760/30760 1247   1000
 4| 66 Lord Notea        Sleep 5963/5963   24261/34420 6660/6660   554   -1000
 5| 26 Lord Eiri         Stand 3503/3503   30864/30864 6303/6303   1463   1000
 6|132 Lord Urecht       Sleep 15731/15731 11499/11499 18711/18711 465    1000
 7| 98 Lord Djat         Sleep 19521/19521 2867/2867   7057/7057   1335   1000
 8|441 Lord Sith         Stand 16303/16303 21690/21690 10961/10961 1238   -999
 9|999 Lord Mundegaarde  Sleep 14186/14186 35494/35494 13340/13340 544    1000
10|202 Lord Meista       Sleep 11450/11450 21297/21297 9216/9246   489    1000
11|416 Lord Victim       Sleep 13654/13654 26003/26003 6744/6744   1018   -999

Here is the alias i set up in an attempt to capture it:


require "wait"

wait.make (function ()  -- coroutine starts here


local win = GetPluginID () .. ":group"
local font = "f"

if not WindowInfo (win, 1) then
  WindowCreate (win, 0, 0, 0, 0, 6, 0, 0)
  WindowFont (win, font, "Lucida Console", 9)  
end -- if

-- request group

Send "group"


-- wait for group to start

local x = wait.match ("*|*", 10)

if not x then
  ColourNote ("white", "blue", "No group received within 10 seconds")
  return
end -- if

local grp = {}
local max_width = WindowTextWidth (win, font, "Group")

-- loop until end of inventory

while true do
  local line, wildcards, styles = wait.match ("*|*")

  -- see if end of inventory

  if not string.match (line, "*") then
    break
  end -- if

  -- save group line
  table.insert (grp, styles)
  -- work out max width
  max_width = math.max (max_width, WindowTextWidth (win, font, line))

end -- while loop


local font_height = WindowFontInfo (win, font, 1)

local window_width = max_width + 10
local window_height = font_height * (#grp + 2) + 10

-- make window correct size

WindowCreate (win, 0, 0, window_width, window_height, 6, 0, ColourNameToRGB "#373737")
WindowRectOp (win, 5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 5, 15 + 0x1000)

-- heading line

WindowText (win, font, "Group", 5, 5, 0, 0, ColourNameToRGB  "yellow")

-- draw each inventory line

local y = font_height * 2 + 5

for i, styles in ipairs (grp) do

  local x = 5
  for _, style in ipairs (styles) do
    x = x + WindowText (win, font, style.text, x, y, 0, 0, style.textcolour)
  end -- for
  y = y + font_height

end -- for each inventory item

WindowShow (win, true)


end)   -- end of coroutine

I'm sure i have more than one problem. I can't find a good way to end the loop. And it doesn't seem to be capturing the lines I've asked it to.
THanks for any help you can give.

First:


  if not string.match (line, "*") then
    break
  end -- if

This is a Lua pattern, not a wildcard, so it won't work. You want:


  if not string.match (line, "^[ 0-9][0-9]") then
    break
  end -- if

That will match on a digit or a space, followed by a digit (which is what your test data was).

Second:

You didn't skip the line with the hyphens.

Third, you didn't have a timeout on your next wait:


  local line, wildcards, styles = wait.match ("*|*")

So that will wait indefinitely for a match on *|*.

So you probably want to just wait for "*" which will be anything, including not the group.

This modified alias worked, but you may want to improve the formatting of the output:


<aliases>
  <alias
   match="test"
   enabled="y"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>require "wait"

wait.make (function ()  -- coroutine starts here


local win = GetPluginID () .. ":group"
local font = "f"

if not WindowInfo (win, 1) then
  WindowCreate (win, 0, 0, 0, 0, 6, 0, 0)
  WindowFont (win, font, "Lucida Console", 9)  
end -- if

-- request group

Send "group"


-- wait for group to start

x = wait.match ("*|*", 10)

if not x then
  ColourNote ("white", "blue", "No group received within 10 seconds")
  return
end -- if

-- skip the hyphens

x = wait.match ("-----*", 10)
if not x then
  ColourNote ("white", "blue", "No hyphens received within 10 seconds")
  return
end -- if

local grp = {}
local max_width = WindowTextWidth (win, font, "Group")

-- loop until end of inventory

while true do

  line, wildcards, styles = wait.match ("*", 5)

  -- see if end of inventory


  if not string.match (line, "^[ 0-9][0-9]") then
    break
  end -- if

  -- save group line
  table.insert (grp, styles)
  -- work out max width
  max_width = math.max (max_width, WindowTextWidth (win, font, line))


end -- while loop

local font_height = WindowFontInfo (win, font, 1)

local window_width = max_width + 10
local window_height = font_height * (#grp + 2) + 10

-- make window correct size

WindowCreate (win, 0, 0, window_width, window_height, 6, 0, ColourNameToRGB "#373737")
WindowRectOp (win, 5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 5, 15 + 0x1000)

-- heading line

WindowText (win, font, "Group", 5, 5, 0, 0, ColourNameToRGB  "yellow")

-- draw each inventory line

local y = font_height * 2 + 5

for i, styles in ipairs (grp) do

  local x = 5
  for _, style in ipairs (styles) do
    x = x + WindowText (win, font, style.text, x, y, 0, 0, style.textcolour)
  end -- for
  y = y + font_height

end -- for each inventory item

WindowShow (win, true)


end)   -- end of coroutine</send>
  </alias>
</aliases>

You are the master, thank you!
