Can anyone help me with a Trigger to capture text and put the captured pattern into a string list. The Present trigger i use only captures 1 line and the text is over many lines.

Below is a capture of the entire text received

Mallibett regards you fiercely, and then darts so close his lips press against your ear. "Rock-face mine, Subterranean road before a gate, Twisting pathway,
Cavern with entrance, Cave leading outside, Rock-face mine, Square cut tunnel, Near the foot of the stairs, Stepped tunnel section, Rock passage, Turn in the
dark passage, Southern end of the mine, Secret valley, Field by mountains, these I see, these I see," he whispers.
1759h, 1719m efL -

So i would like to capture all those locations (excluding the rock-face mine) into a string list. The number of mines active changes and the number shown in text example is random
and could be only 1 line long 2 lines long or in this case 3

My failed attempts either captured the 1st line or last line

thanks for any any help,

You need a multistate trigger for this, and you need to do error checking to see if the current result is enough.
Something like this should work.

Small change suggestion:

Have copied and pasted the code into Cmud and it will only pick up the first line.

So have i got the correct trigger defined ? Im using pattern .

mineList=%1
#show @minelist
#IF (%match(%line, "whispers.")) {#STATE 0;#RAISE mineEnd}
#cond {*} {
mineList=%concat(@mineList,%line)
#IF (%match(%line,"whispers.")) {#RAISE mineEnd} {#STATE 1}
} {Within|Param=1}

above are the lines entered into the trigger script text

I think the problem was a matter of spacing in shalimar's post. You should have a trigger with a pattern of:

it does look the same ?

#IF (%match(%line,"whispers.")) {#RAISE mineEnd} {#STATE 1} } {Within|Param=1} <-- line on one line instead of wrapped to nextline

what i gather from you is that the "space" after "," and before "whispers" is important . Maybe my pattern type is wrong or brackets wrong

the trigger does fire and does collect the first line but then it stops almost as if its matching whispers too early and not checking the lines in between the first trigger
and whispers (closing condition)

i have a #show @minelist to see what has gone into the variable and the i type #var directly to check after as well

Thanks for all your help guys as you can see im a complete idiot...

Here is the XML of the class i made originally trying to get it to work off the sample data you supplied
Try pasting this over the information on the XML tab of a new class.
Just remember to delete/disable the old version.
