I've trying to do a trigger that whenever i look in my bag ('bag' command) it searches for how many bloody heads i have in my bags, then stores it to a variable called 'heads'.
The trigger has to check from the mud 2 lines:

When you look inside, you see:
...
[x24] a bloody head
...

the problem is i dont know how to make a trigger pattern that checks for those two lines at once..

#trigger {^When you look inside, you see:} {#t+ headcase}
#trigger {^[x(%d)] a bloody head} {#var heads %1;#t- headcase} {headcase}

In cases like this, its easiest just to use some sort of indication trigger that tells you to start looking for your pattern. Then its simply a task of seperating your triggers by class. Learn how to enable/disable classes and effectively use them with triggers and you go a long way.

[ and ] are special characters, which are used in patterns for creating range wildcards. Since that's not what you want to do (you want to match them), you need to put a ~ in front of them.
#trigger {^~[x(%d)~] a bloody head} {#var heads %1;#t- headcase} {headcase}

ok, the above seems sound, but...
what if there are a few whitespaces between the prompt and the line saying
'inside you see:'

example:

A seemingly small bag, made out of human skin. Runes adorn the entire
surface of the bag. Yet inside the bag it seems the blackness extends
forever.
There is something in it.
--------Bag contains:
electrum ring
golden ring
jeweled egg
jeweled egg
golden ring
golden ring
golden ring
golden ring

any ideas?

(the dashes by "Bag contains:" are whitespaces x8)

Tnx :) it worked.

Just found another problem .. also dealing with the bloody heads in bag.

Now when i look in my bag and have the amount of the heads in a variable (heads), the purpose of the variable was to repeat the 'sac' (sacrifice, a mud alias that get a head from bag then sacs it on the altar) command the @heads amount of times when at altar. This helps a lot when can only press a button or type an alias to sac all heads in bag than typing 'sac' to the mud @heads times yourself, especially when you got like 250 heads in bag.
Now the problem is, that if you make an alias that repeats the sac command like 250 times to the mud rapidly, the mud disconnects you due to flooding. So the sac'ing has to paused in intervals for the mud to process the previous commands without flooding the mud.
Would work if the alias repeated sac 15 times then had a #wa 2000 or something then repeated until all heads sacrificed (The flame wells up and consumes your sacrifice! is the string from mud indicating a head being successfully sacrificed, also 'No such thing here' can be used to stop the alias from looping, (no more heads on bag to sac)
