I'm trying to get a handful of data when a character's stats are rolled for creation. This is what the MUD's output looks like:

"
Here you can switch your Stats to taste, selecting two to switch until you are satisfied.
Example: Typing: CHA WIL - Switches Charisma and Willpower scores!
STR (Strength ): 65
DEX (Dexterity ): 80
CON (Constitution): 89
INT (Intelligence): 75
WIS (Wisdom ): 56
ITN (Intuition ): 61
WIL (Willpower ): 66
LUK (Luck ): 34
CHA (Charisma ): 41
Select 2 stats to switch or Done (or Reroll):
"

Eventually, I want to be able to see the stats rolled in a seperate window, without sending any commands to the MUD. Some of the things I want displayed in a seperate window: Minumum stat, Max stat, average stat, sum of all stats, etc.

Ok, let me explain how far I've gotten and what I've done so far. I've made a trigger for each of the stats that went something like this:

pattern:
STR (Strength ): (%1)
value:
#var Str %1

Which SHOULD put the value of my rolled score into a variable called "Str," correct? Well it's not. I've done that with each stat. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I think it might have something to do with the Paranthes.

Any help would be appreciated. I haven't read up much on displaying information in a new Window, so I'll do that before I go picking your brains. Thanks!

Yes it does have something to do with the ()'s and I recomend you read the help file on pattern matching and you will see BOTH errors that you made. Also if you have to account for spaces use %s

PATTERN:
STR ~(Strength~): (%d)
VALUE:
#VAR Str %1
