/limit

The /limit /command allows you to filter the text received from the MU* in various ways. The syntax is:

/limit
/limit [-options] [--] <pattern>
/unlimit

With no arguments, /limit returns 1 if there is currently a /limit in effect, and 0 if not. Otherwise, the output text is filtered, with lines which do not match the given <pattern> being hidden.

Valid options are:

• -glob - Show only lines which match the wildcard pattern <pattern>. This is the default if no match type is specified.
• -literal - Show only lines which exactly match the string <pattern>
• -regexp - Show only lines which match the regular expression <pattern>
• -nocase - Match in a case-insensitive way
• -v - Inverted match (show lines which don't match <pattern>
• -msimple - Alias for -literal
• -mglob - Alias for -glob
• -mregexp - Alias for -regexp
• -wildcard - Alias for glob
• -spawn <spawn> - Instead of filtering the output, copy all matching lines to a new spawn window, <spawn>. The spawn window must not already exist, and currently <spawn> cannot contain spaces. (Note that this will not spawn text received later which matches the <pattern>; if you wish to do that, you must add an event.
• -- - Marks the end of the options. Only necessary if <pattern> starts with a -.

For extra compatability with TinyFugue, the -a option will be ignored.

The /unlimit command redisplays all text received.

Currently, /limit only affects the main output window for a world, not spawns, though this should change at some point in the future.

Examples

Filter output to show messages on code channels:

/limit -glob <*code> *

Hide all output which mentions 'foo', 'bar' or 'baz':

/limit -v -regexp -- foo|bar|baz

Copy everything in backscroll from

<Public>

to a spawn window to read later:

/limit -glob -spawn forlater -- <Public> *
