New page

== Calling Pattern ==
Call
local j = sl.journal()
later
local r1,r2,r3 = j.nextline([split])
Argument
split (optional) is a boolean, defaults to false
Results
r1 is a string, the next unread line of the journal
r2 is a number, the color
iff split is true then
r3 is the name split from the beginning of the line, if any

== Example ==

local j = sl.journal()
local e,line,col,name = "","",0,""
local start,color = 3,946
while true do
local new,total,unread = j.refresh()
if unread > 0 then
line = ""
local tot,ur = j.count()
print(tostring(tot)..' '..tostring(ur))
while ur > 0 do
line,col,name = j.nextline(true)
print(tostring(name)..'|'..tostring(line)..'|'..tostring(col))
tot,ur = j.count()
end
print(sl.exkeyvalstr(j.gmatchcolor(start, color, 'c(ur)')))
start = tot + 1
end
wait(50)
end

== Description ==

Nextline checks to see if there are more journal messages, and if so, copies them to the internal store. If any of the messages in the internal store haven't been previously been read by nextline (or skipped over via [[journal.mark|mark]]), then nextline returns the next unread message.

Nextline, along with [[journal.clear|clear]] and [[journal.refresh|refresh]], are the only methods which force an update to the internal store.
