Zugg Software :: View topic - Can I capture 3 lines that follow a trigger?

I want to capture random info that follows the Room Name, as in the Room Discription, how can I get this to happen?

Example:

A Run Down Shop
This shop is way past its prime. There is more than its share of dust that covers merchandise from top to bottom. An articulate eye would warn the buyer that this shop isn't frequently visited.

So if I #trigger {A Run Down Shop}, how can I assign the next 3 lines to a varable or multiple variables?

Thanks for any assistance.

#trigger (^Room name$(%*)$} {#variable Var1 "%1";#variable CountLines = 1;#T+ tTwoLines}

#trigger "tTwoLines" {^(%*)$} {#if (@Countlines < 2) {#variable Var@Countlines "%1";#add Countlines 1} {#T- tTwoLines}}

That can be improved, and I think I'm misinterpreting your use of the word "lines", but it's a solution to what you asked.
