Lets say I have a window @wind and it has a line that was added to it by:
/aline @wind hello 4to you 12too
So it has the hello in black, the "to you" in red, and the "too" in blue.

Now I want to use the filter command so the text will be ripped from the windows to a text file, but without the colors:

/filter -wf @wind hello.txt

Since the colors are not being striped, I get:
hello 4to you 12too
in the text files.

What must I do, so I will only get "hello to you too" ?

Second questioon:
Lets say I have the hello.txt file with the "hello to you too" line.
How to I add it to a window, using the FILTER command, so it will be in a color that I want it to be (and not black)??

I don't want to use a while loops to scan the window, or the text file, cause if the file is big, it may take a long time, and with Filter command it take less than a second.

Thanks

/help /filter
-b switch

I know it is the -b switch!!!!!

But there isn't any explenation on how to use it!!

And you don't have any answer to my second question.

there's no answer to your second question

If you don't know how to RTFM you're in deep... there...

But what about the first question?

How do I use the -b switch?

If I write:
/filter -wfb @wind hello.txt

I still get the same thing.

oh, my mistake, you have to strip 'em with loops...

Isn't there a way of doing it without striping it with a loop??

A loop take a lot of resources and time, when the @wind has a lot of lines in it.

Unfortunately there's no other way that doing it line-by-line. In case you care, all the -b switch does is strip the control codes from the wildcard text used in /filter, ie it just saves you using $strip(<wildcard>).
