Every time I look into a bucket this is what I see. I'm trying to create a multi-state trigger based off of this mud output:

#trigger {-Bucket-}
#cond {Apple} {#var item1 apple} {duration|3}

Don't know how to make it stop on the ==== and I know I'm not storing the vars efficiently...

I believe this'll do twhat you'd like.

You might find it easier to use two triggers. One to start and stop and one to actually count the items in the bucket.

Something like this.

DraxDrax, your solution perfectly did what I was needing it to. Thanks so much!

I've not used stringlists before - Is there a way to manipulate the data inside it before the say?
========================
-Bucket-

Apple [rotten]
Orange [fresh]
Big Apple [fresh]
Orange [rotten and stinky]

========================
4 items in the bucket
========================

Is there a way to remove rotten fruit from the stringlist (using #delitem I surmise) and change Big Apple to just Apple?
#say You have an Orange and an Apple!

Yep, that can be done, but before we tackle that problem, can you give a bit more information? I assume you want to do something with the contents of the bucket. Possibly remove them and eat them, or something along those lines, and it would be helpful if you could explain everything you'd like to do with your fruit, what condition you'd like them in, and the proper way to manipulate them on your mud. *

This is important if, for example, you only wanted to do things with fresh fruit, ignoring the rotten ones, and had something like this:

========================
-Bucket-

Apple [fresh]
Apple [rotten]
Big Apple [fresh]

========================
3 items in the bucket
========================

In this case you'd want to get the first and third apple while ignoring the second. On the mud I play, the syntax to retrieve objects inside of containers according to their order is 'get <#>.<object> <container>' so to get apples #1 and #3 you would 'get 1.apple bucket' and 'get 2.apple bucket' (after removing the first apple, two apples remain and the first one is the rotten one).

But perhaps your mud uses a different syntax, or perhaps you can use the keyword 'fresh', thus eliminating the need to specify items according to their order, or perhaps you have some entirely different agenda... Whatever the case, we can help you, but more info would make it easier.

* did this sound vaguely sexual to anyone else, or am I just weird?

I mostly just want to know how to work with the data once it's put into the string so that I can seperate out fresh and rotten fruit. Syntax is get 2.fruit etc and junk 3.fruit. I can't use the keyword fresh, so I need to find a way to remove the rotten fruit from the string list and only remove good fresh fruit.
