Hey Guys, For some reason I cant seem to catcha number located inside [] and save it as a variable.

heres the game output:

Spells currently memorized:
1: [ 1]ancestral shroud [ 2]bone shape [ 2]satiate
[ 1]spectral glow [ 1]spiritual guidance
2: [ 1]ancestral blessing [ 3]blindness [ 1]cure blindness
[ 1]endurance [ 1]remove curse
3: [ 1]delay death [ 1]spectral sight [ 4]vile spirits
4: [ 1]amplify spirits [ 1]monstrous mantle [ 4]soul leech
5: [ 1]boiling blood [ 3]cure critical [ 1]ghostmaster ritual
6: [ 1]ancestral spirit [ 3]regenerate

Specificly at the moment I want to capture 3 and save it as the variable regen
here's my code:
Pattern: [%p]regemerate

#cw Gold,blink
#capture XP
#var regen %1

so what am I doing wrong? this method has served me well previosly, but I think its the [] that are messing it up.

[ and ] are characters that have a special meaning in patterns. If you want them to be interpreted literally, you need to put a tilde before them. Also, there's a couple other problems with your it. Firstly, you're not actually capturing the number - you need to put () around parts of the pattern that you want to be saved to %1, %2, etc. Secondly, %p matches punctuation characters. You want %d instead, for digits. So the final pattern would be:

Ok, that dosnt work, and now it dosnt capture the line to another screen like before

~[(%d)~]regenerate
is the exact pattern I am using now
#cw Gold,blink
#capture XP
#capture status
#var regen %1
is the script

Figured out I needed to add a space inbetween the [ and (%d and now it kinda works, however, the mud outputs:

Spells currently memorized:
1: [ 1]ancestral shroud [ 2]bone shape [ 2]satiate
[ 1]spectral glow [ 1]spiritual guidance
2: [ 1]ancestral blessing [ 3]blindness [ 1]cure blindness
[ 1]endurance [ 1]remove curse
3: [ 1]delay death [ 1]spectral sight [ 4]vile spirits
4: [ 1]amplify spirits [ 1]monstrous mantle [ 4]soul leech
5: [ 1]boiling blood [ 3]cure critical [ 1]ghostmaster ritual
6: [ 1]ancestral spirit [ 2]regenerate

Spells being memorized:
6: [ 1]regenerate

And it is capturing the 2nd instance of regenerate, not the first, which is the one I want. any thoughts?

Is there any way to make the first time it shows up var regen1 and the 2nd time regen2? there will never be more than 2 times on the screen, sometimes only 1, and I can use both the variables eventually

Name the capture trigger or stick it into a class folder and use this:

#TR {^Spells (%w) memorized:} {
#IF (%1=currently) {#T+ triggerName}
#IF (%1=being) {#T- triggerName}
}

ok so I put the trigger in a class folder and added the above script to the trigger and it produced:

mem
Spells currently memorized:
1: [ 2]bone shape [ 1]satiate
2: [ 3]blindness [ 1]cure blindness [ 1]endurance
[ 1]remove curse
3: [ 1]delay death
4: [ 1]amplify spirits [ 4]soul leech
5: [ 3]cure critical [ 1]ghostmaster ritual
6: [ 1]regenerate

For the purpose of the Alias, which I will use for several things, one of which: gtell @regen Regen's Left, it wont work, because mem gives the mem list and the memming list at the same time, no way to seperate them

Give your trigger that catches the number an id of triggerName and reread Shalimar's post. Look up the commands #T+ and #T-.
