Here is the line I'm trying to get a trigger to fire on:

Str :[319/171] Int :[274/167] Wis :[165/ 67] Hr :[452]

Keeping in mind that if a number is only 2 digits, it has a space before it, as demonstrated above in "Wis :[165/ 67]".

I'm trying to find the right sequence of wild card expressions, etc., to match that line. I've tried using %s to match white space, but apparently if you use %s, atleast ONE space of white space has to exist for the pattern to work. I really don't want to have to create seperate triggers for each possibility where the number could be 2 digits vs. 3 digits, but I've exhausted all my ideas of how to use pattern matching wildcards, etc. Any help would be appreciative!

TIA.

Trigger:

Str :~[(%d)/(%d)~] Int :~[(%d)/(%d)~] Wis :~[(%d)/ (%d)~] Hr :~[(%d)~]

I guess I wasn't completely clear. The trigger needs to able to match each of those numbers regardless of if there are two digits or three digits. That part could have easily been:

Wis :[165/165]

In which case, Wis :~[(%d)/ (%d)~] would not have matched it. I need some way to have the trigger recognize the number, and get rid of anything before it, if there is anything in front of it at all, like a space.

Ahh, didn't realize the space after the / was for the 3rd digit. Gimme a few and we'll have that fixed as well.

Trigger:
Str :~[(*)/(*)~] Int :~[(*)/(*)~] Wis :~[(*)/ (*)~] Hr :~[(*)~]

value:
maxSTR=%trim(%1)
STR=%trim(%2)
maxINT=%trim(%3)
INT=%trim(%4)

etc.

This worked offline using:
#SHOW Str :[319/ 71] Int :[274/ 67] Wis :[ 65/ 67] Hr :[452]

Another solution is a user-defined wildcard which includes all the digits and a space. The minus sign, plus sign, comma, and period can also be included if there's a possibility they'll be needed. Not as convenient as the predefined wildcards, but easily done.
[0-9 ]
[0-9 ~-+,.]
NOTES:
Since - is used to indicate a range, you MUST put the quote character ~ before it to include it in the wildcard.
For repeated use, I usually type the wildcard once, then copy it to the clipboard and use CTRL-V to paste it where needed.

Your pattern would be:
Str :~[([0-9 ])/([0-9 ])~]%sInt :~[([0-9 ])/([0-9 ])~]%sWis :~[([0-9 ])/([0-9 ])~]%sHr :~[([0-9 ])~]
