From looking through old posts, I found that triggers won't fire multiple times on a line, which is kind of unfortunate for what I am doing, but still doable. Let me first state what I am trying to accomplish:

I want to populate a list with playernames, for reasons such as disabling triggers when players enter my room and whatnot. The easiest way for me to do this is the "who" command. Output of the command is below. (Note, underscores aren't really there, just represent spacing, which I don't know how to represet in these posts)

[140] Lothar______{103} Calin________{75} Yoarn________[35] Niem

I would like to capture all the names into my variable. The list is never more than 4 columns long, but sometimes not all oputput is 4 columns, i.e. only 2 columns in the last line. The solution I can see involves making a trigger for every possilbe situation. abbreviated:

[] [] [] []
[] [] [] {}
[] [] {} []
etc. for all lengths of culumns.

Is there another solution?

More output
[140] Lothar {103} Calin {75} Yoarn [35] Niem
{135} Magnum {103} Gorm [72] Makta [30] Chael
[115] Hitaru {100} Anomalie {71} Suravette {30} Koga
[115] Trajan [94] Saladin {62} Lessa [30] Silk
[110] Bender {85} Multani [52] Ashram [17] Trent
{108} Juele {75} Afterlife {40} Alucard {11} Spiff
[106] Tuck

Thanks for looking

I'm not sure this would work, but you could try

#TRIGGER {?%d? (%w)} {#ADDITEM NAMELIST %1}

Just a poor attempt, maybe it'll work though :).

This is untested.

#TR {{~{|~[}%d{~}|~]} %w} {#VAR NameList {%concat(@NameList,,"|",%word(%line,2),"|",%word(%line,4),"|",%word(%line,6),"|",%word(%line,8))};#DELITEM NameList {}}

This trigger assumes you have anoother trigger/alias to blank the variable NameList, and should be assigned an ID and turned off with #T- when not in use.

You have punctuation (includes spaces), digits, and letters. These all have individual wildcards, so four triggers should be sufficient:

It never ceases to amaze me how helpful everyone is here. As soon as I get home, I will put it together and try it out. Thanks a lot.
