I've been trying to make a trigger which would calculate a graphic bar into numeric value.
The bar is made up of 5 characters, @ = 10k, # = 1k, X = 100, x = 10 and . = 1.
An example bar would be like this: [@@######XXXx.....] (26315 in numbers)
Problem is, that every character is not always present, which causes my trigger not to match the string.

The pattern I'm using is '~[([@])([#])([X])([x])([.])~]' and the trigger itself is '#mat dev ((%len( %1) * 10000) + (%len( %2) * 1000) + (%len( %3) * 100) + (%len( %4) * 10) + (%len( %5)))'

Is there any way to make it work using only a single (perhaps even simple) trigger?
And is it possible to make it use #sub command or similar to simply append the calculated value after the string itself?

Using Matt's pattern you can problably do it like this (untested!):

#VAR List {@=10000|#=1000|X=100|x=10|.=1}
#TRIGGER {~[([~@~#Xx~.])~]} {#LOOPDB @List {#ADD Value %val};#SUB {%1 (@Value)};Value = %null}

The variable @List contains the pattern with their corresponding values. The trigger adds all those values together and substitutes the line received from the mud.

Also, you might need to put a tilde in front of those patterns in the @List that can be parsed.
