What are you having difficulty with?

The usual technique is to initialize variables and enable a trigger class by triggering on the text which indicates the beginning of an identify. Inside the class there would be several triggers to get information from the various lines and store it in a record variable. The keys of the record variable should match database field names.

In addition, most people have a trigger to detect the end of the identify. This trigger will usually disable the trigger class, check the database to see if this is a new entry, and add it to the database if it is. What criteria are used to identify duplicates is up to you. Usually, this trigger will either have a blank line or the MUD prompt as its pattern. If a suitable pattern can't be found, this can also be done manually in which case an alias would probably be useful.

Sample script
#TRigger {^Your divination is complete...} {#VAriable id {};#T+ Identify}
#CLAss Identify disable
#TR {^Object: (*) ~[(*)~]} {#ADDKey id Name {%1};#ADDK id Keywords {%2}}
#TR {^$} {#T- Identify;#IF (%query( {%db( @id, Name)} = {&Name})) {} {#NEW All @id}}
#CLA 0
#T- Identify

That should be enough triggers for some help in getting started. If you are still lost, please try to make your questions more specific.
