ScanJournal update

[Nefariis]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I think there needs to be an update to ScanJournal - if you call it on repeat a 100 times there is maybe an 80-85% accuracy rate.

for example -

[System] [FFBB00]You take [98FB98]1[FFBB00] clumps of [98FB98]Silt[FFBB00] from the soil.
[System] [FFBB00]You take [98FB98]1[FFBB00] clumps of [98FB98]Loam[FFBB00] from the soil.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to see a solution that can be implemented like this -

StartScanning() 
WhateverCommandHere()
print(RetrieveJournalScan()) # contains an array of everything from StartScanning() to RetrieveJournalScan()

and or, to expand on it...

StartScanning() 
WhateverCommandHere()
boolean = JournalScanMatch({"match str1, match str2, match str3"}) - returns true if any of the strings are found

I think what this is going to take is creating a separate thread and then using thread.join() to make sure the JournalScanner() is finished before the main thread accesses it - I foresee needing a sleep(500) or sleep(1000) in the scanner thread as well to ensure that the messages are properly picked up.

Currently how I am solving this problem is this -

function JournalScanner(startT, endT)
    arry = {}
    for i = startT, endT, .5 do
         table.insert(arry, ScanJournal(i))
    end
    return arry
end

and then it's called with something like -

start = TIME
SomeCommand()
sleep(500)
SCANJOURNAL = JournalScanner(start, TIME)

or

function JournalScanner(startT, endT, search)
    for i = startT, endT, .5 do
         ScanJournal(i)
         for str in search do
         	if string.match(SCANJOURNALMESSAGE, str) then 
                return true
         	end
         end
    end
    return false
end

and then

start = TIME
SomeCommand()
sleep(500)
boolean = JournalScannerMatch(start, TIME, {"match str1, match str2, match str3"})

Notice that sleep(500) in there? - that really is what ensures that the command's journal output is properly caught - this is why I believe that a separate thread is necessary as you wouldn't want to freeze the main thread and you still need to call the command that follows the StartScanning().

Broken pseudo code - (I haven't written C# in 10 years, please excuse the cross threading and the accessing variables on different threads)

static void scanner() {
    startTime = TIME
    sleep(500)
    get journalEntries between startTime and NOW
    JOURNAL_ARRAY = array of entries 
}

static void DoAction() {
      TargetDynamic or whatever
}

static void Main(args) {
    thread1 = new Thread(scanner)
    thread1.start()
    DoAction()
    thread1.join()
    print(JOURNAL_ARRAY)
}
