Is there a way to check for more than word, and save those words to seperate variables? The thing I'm trying to do is basically take something vaguely like this:
Obvious paths: north, east, west.
and pass it to the #TAG function for tagging it as the exit line. However it *could* look like this:
Obvious exits: northeast, southwest.
It doesn't seem to pick it up. I'm using this trigger so far;
#TRIGGER {Obvious %w~: (*)} {#TAG {exit} {%1}}
Any thoughts?

Fiddling with it a lil (going into incredibly wacky string manipulation techniques and some of the more bizare functions), I discover that when testing the trigger, it'll pick up the first exit but when it hits the comma (north, east, west) it stops. So instead of picking up north, east, west like I want it to, it just picks up north. I'm using just a * to pick up the string.

to capture characters used by ZMud for special purposes, use the %* wildcard.

As far as I know a comma isn't a special character. But to capture multiple words in a variable all you need to do is quote the %1.
#TRIGGER {Obvious %w~: (*)} {#TAG {exit} {"%1"}}
