I have run into a problem, I was making a script and I want to use a range of numbers to idenntify a certain spell, what I have are as follows.

#TRIGGER {Completed mixture power is: [221-686]} {#say;#say %ansi( red, hi)With the current power you will create: Magic Bomb}
#TRIGGER {Completed mixture power is: [1-10]} {#say;#say %ansi( red, hi)With the current power you will create: Awaken}
#TRIGGER {Completed mixture power is: [11-20]} {#say;#say %ansi( red, hi)With the current power you will create: Cause Light}
#TRIGGER {Completed mixture power is: [21-30]} {#say;#say %ansi( red, hi)With the current power you will create: Detect Invisibility}
#TRIGGER {Completed mixture power is: [31-40]} {#say;#say %ansi( red, hi)With the current power you will create: Reveal}
#TRIGGER {Completed mixture power is: [41-50]} {#say;#say %ansi( red, hi)With the current power you will create: Cure Light}
#TRIGGER {Completed mixture power is: [51-60]} {#say;#say %ansi( red, hi)With the current power you will create: Refresh}
#TRIGGER {Completed mixture power is: [<0]} {#say;#say %ansi( red, hi)FATAL ERROR!}
#TRIGGER {Completed mixture power is: [71-85]} {#say;#say %ansi( red, hi)With the current power you will create: Sense Life}
#TRIGGER {Completed mixture power is: [106-115]} {#say;#say %ansi( red, hi)With the current power you will create: Cure Poison}
#TRIGGER {Completed mixture power is: [116-135]} {#say;#say %ansi( red, hi)With the current power you will create: Blindness}
#TRIGGER {Completed mixture power is: [136-145]} {#say;#say %ansi( red, hi)With the current power you will create: Death Grip}
#TRIGGER {Completed mixture power is: [146-155]} {#say;#say %ansi( red, hi)With the current power you will create: Fatigue}
#TRIGGER {Completed mixture power is: [156-170]} {#say;#say %ansi( red, hi)With the current power you will create: Cure Disease}
#TRIGGER {Completed mixture power is: [171-185]} {#say;#say %ansi( red, hi)With the current power you will create: Charm}
#TRIGGER {Completed mixture power is: [186-200]} {#say;#say %ansi( red, hi)With the current power you will create: Flame Wind}
#TRIGGER {Completed mixture power is: [201-220]} {#say;#say %ansi( red, hi)With the current power you will create: High Explosive}
#TRIGGER {Completed mixture power is: [>686]} {#say;#say %ansi( red, hi)FATAL ERROR!}

How would I make it so my triggers would recognize and number within those ranges? Then set off the appropriate trigger. Thanks.

#TRIGGER {Completed mixture power is: ~[(%w)~]} {
#If (%w < 10) {{#say;#say %ansi( red, hi)With the current power you will create: Awaken};#If (%w > 10 AND %w < 21) {{#say;#say %ansi( red, hi)With the current power you will create: Cause Light}

And so forth. Hopefully that will work. It's kind of messy though, I'm sure someone else could come up with something with something better.

I'm not positive what you're trying to do. If you want to reference the explicit number given then this should work:

#TRIGGER {Completed mixture power is: ([146 - 155])} {#SAY;#SAY %ansi( red, hi)With the current power you will create: Fatigue;#SHOW %1}

%1 will hold the value of the number.

I don't like a bunch of triggers active all the time so I'd rewrite this I think...

#VAR effect {} {}
#TRIGGER {Completed mixture power is: (%d)} {#IF (0 < %1 AND %1 < 11) {effect="Awaken"} {};#IF (10 < %1 AND %1 < 21) {effect="Cause Light"} {};~;Continue with ranges here.;#IF (0 > %1 OR %1 > 686) {effect="FATAL ERROR!} {};#SAY;#SAY %ansi( red, hi)With the current power you will create @effect with power %1}

If neither of these are what you want, please clarify what the problem is.

The range wildcard, [range] doesn't allow you to specify numeric ranges that are more than one digit. Thus, [221-686] doesn't mean match any number between 221 and 686 inclusive. It means match any string containing only the characters 2, 2, 1-6, 8, and 6. 1-6 is a range containing all the numbers from 1 to 6, so this matches any string containing only the characters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8.

You'll have to use %d or %n, then do comparisons with #IF or something similar.
