Ok, that works. But the issue I'm still encountering is when I say something on HT or CT or CLT it still posts two, sometimes three times in all, while being sent to the proper tab. Ideally, I like everything to be captured in All while certain things being sent to certain tabs as well. 

Mainly this is because it's a headache and a half to keep up with communications while sailing (even after five years I've not gotten used to it), so this scrip is a big relief. 

So since I have to have something in the trigger field for it to send to All as well as to the proper tab, do I need to add exceptions like that for each tab I have set? So add in the script:

moonlightUI.sendChatPoM = function ()

selectCurrentLine ()

copy ()

appendBuffer ("ChatBoxPoM")

end -- func

Then the trigger will be:

moonlightUI.sendChatPoM ()

That make sense? I have no idea what I'm talking about by the way and I'm about 1/3 of the way into this bottle.

And thanks for the help guys, this really makes sailing a lot more conveinent. 

Edit:

Nvm, just tried it and does exactly that, just like I want it to do. Thanks again!

Edit 2:

Nvm I fucked that up. Now it's sending those things to those tabs only, and not to both All -and- the specified tab.

Ok, screw stopgap fixes. Since this is a legitimate concern, here's a real fix.

new script: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=rFwdBPPQ

What that does now is sends to the Chat you specify, and send to "All" if that is NOT where it's already headed. So sure, send to All - it won't double up now.

Honestly, the main reason I want to avoid doing that is the point of the script is it's modular. It would be a LOT simpler to just make functions like that, but I want to be able to support someone just adding a new tab, then being able to trigger lines to go to that tab, and the script does all the heavy lifting of making a tab name, underline, clicking, text box, function to throw in a trigger, etc.

@Trevize: Just came back, and noticed this isn't catching incoming tells into the Tells tab. Anyone have any idea what might cause this?

I know this answer sounds overly simple, but I have to assume the trigger isn't firing. Try making it print something to the screen and see if it's firing at all, then check the pattern closely.
