Ever been playing a game of KoDP, and in the middle of an event,
thought "Blue Spruce? Who are they? Weren't they the ones that ...
no,
I can't remember - should I be polite to them, or do we dislike them?
Are they anywhere near me?" Well, it can be difficult. I can't help
with the location of the clan, but you can do that yourself by
occasionally using PrintScreen on the map screen, and pasting the
image into a graphics app. However, I have written a Perl script that
prints out the paragraphs that match against a given pattern. For
example: [perl kodps.pl "blue spruce"] will print all of the
paragraphs that contain the phrase blue spruce. It isn't case
sensitive, and you might want to put [| more] at the end to break it
into screenfuls. It does do word wrapping, though, and displays the
year before the paragraphs pertaining to the query. Perl is available
from http://www.activestate.com/ for Win32, and is available for Mac
as well, try looking through
http://www.perl.com/CPAN/ports/index.html.
