Problem with capturing multiple lines in one variable
 
I'm trying to capture a list of items needed to finish a quest or make an item. I have a variable I add them all into. The problem is my trigger is capturing the line it is triggering off of in the variable.

SAMPLE

Code:
That requires the following:
        A piece of marble
        A green dragon hide
        A black diamond
       
*****************************


My variable when expanded will look like this:
That requires the following:, a piece of marble, a green dragon hide, a black diamond

TRIGGERS

#TRIGGER {That requires the following:} {#T+ reqItems}
#COND {~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*} {#T- reqItems}
#TRIGGER "reqItems" {%s(*)} {#IF (%null(@itemList)) {itemList={%1}} {itemList={@itemList, %1}}

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

To solve your problem as simply as possible, anchor your trigger pattern with the ^ (you use this symbol at the beginning of the pattern).

However, your use of #T-/#T+ is completely unnecessary, as the multistate functionality can easily handle this list:

Code:
#trigger "tItemList" {^That requires the following:} {itemList = ""}
#condition {^%s(%w*)$} {
  #if (@itemlist) {itemlist = %1} {itemlist = @itemlist", "%1}
  #state tItemList 1
} {WithinLines|param=1}
