ScanJournal

Synopsis

scanJournal {index}

Description

The scanJournal command scans the users journal and puts the matching string into the #journal system variable. The system variable #jColor is updated with the line's color.

The index specifies which line in the journal to use. 1 is the bottom line, 2 is the second to the last line and so on. If the index is 1000 or over it is considered a #jIndex value.

Example

; example 1 (old way)

waitForAttack:
scanjournal 1
if is_attacking_you in #journal
  msg guards $
goto waitForAttack

; example 2 (new way) (won't skip lines like the old way will)

set %jrnl #jindex
while #true
   {
   if #jindex > %jrnl
      {
      set %jrnl %jrnl + 1
      scanjournal %jrnl
      if is_attacking_you in #journal
         event macro 1 0 Guards
      }
   }
