Is there some way to have a trigger ignore newlines? I've got some strings I want to change the color of (basicly make them less noticable - #CW black) but they may or may not be split across several lines.

For example:
Skeletons of those that died on this long and perilous journey litter the
landscape, all have been looted for their valubles. Sparse vegitation, an
occasional weed or cacti, seem to spring from nowhere. The sun bleached
rocks scald your feet as sand burns your nose and mouth. The air here is
cooler in the shade of the dune but the heat is still heavy and oppressive.

On the horizon to the northeast you can just make out a small cluster of
trees in the valley between two dunes, possibly one of a few rare oasis in
the trackless desert wastes. Skeletons of those that died on this long and
perilous journey litter the landscape, all have been looted for their
valubles. The dune behind you provides some shelter from the wind and many
debris have gathered here, small stones and rocks, bones and skulls bleached
by the sun and polished by the wind and sand.

I want to CW this line:
Skeletons of those that died on this long and perilous journey litter the
landscape, all have been looted for their valubles.

But in one paragraph it's broken one way, and in the second paragraph it's split another way. There are more of these too, split in even more ways.

If they are fairly specific, you can combine newlines and wildcards -

#TR {Skeletons of those that died (*)$(*)have been looted for their valubles.} {#COLOR black}

No, they're not that specific, also there are two new lines in one case...

From the lack of responses, it seems like this is not possible.

The easiest way would be to check for a Columns(or width) command on your mud, to set the columns(width) as high as possible. (my fav mud lets me set it to 1024) This will let zMud handle the word wraps, and gets rid of problems with broken lines.
