Okay. I'd like to think I have what is a simple problem with a hpbar trigger.

Reading a bunch of helpfiles, and asking a bunch of people I mud with has yielded no positive results.

---

Here is the trigger in its current form:

HP~: (%d)~/(%d) SP~: (%d)~/(%d)~/(%d)~%~/(%d)~% Sat~: (%d)~% Cnc~: (%d)~% G~:(%d)/(%d)~% S~:(%d)~/(%d)~% G2N~:(%d)% (*) ~<P~>

---

And here are several differeing samples of the text it matches:

HP: 713/321 SP: 1526/1526/92%/20% Sat: 0% Cnc: 0% G:3/31% S:1/35% G2N:47% A MI B MB 

HP: 713/321 SP: 1526/1526/92%/20% Sat: 0% Cnc: 0% G:3/31% S:1/35% G2N:47% A SS MS B MG PG 

HP: 713/321 SP: 1526/1526/92%/20% Sat: 0% Cnc: 0% G:3/31% S:1/35% G2N:47% A SS MS B MG PE MB 

HP: 713/321 SP: 1526/1526/92%/20% Sat: 0% Cnc: 0% G:3/31% S:1/35% G2N:47% A SS MS PA B MG PE MB GS 

---

What I want to do is simple. Or it should be simple. All of that text in capital letters with the space bars in it, I want to put all of that into a plain old variable. I don't want to do anything special with it. I just want it in a variable, with its space bars right where they should be. No processing of any kind will happen with this variable. So it doesn't have to be fancy shmancy. All I want done with it is to put the stored variable on a lable and there it shall sit. Looking pretty and achieving nothing. That's it! Should be simple. That section of the current trigger is currently (*)

It's important that the variable is limited only by the text G2N: (%d)~% at the start, and by ~<P~> at the end, because that section of text can be all manner of lengths, all manner of combinations. Theres never going to be a value that starts and ends it every time within that section of text, just the bits around it.

So can anyone think of a solution?

That is. If anyone cares. I'm not the first, and I won't be the last person to log on to zuggsoft, beg for help with a trigger, and then disappear like a fart in the wind once someones done what I want.

I am using Zmud 7.05

Thanks in advance.

If you're not planning on doing anything with the variable then you can probably be a bit more lax in defining the pattern match.

You misunderstood, perhaps I didn't write it correctly.

All of the patterns that currently exist in that trigger are defined like that because they are used for many many things. The addition I want to make, that one change that I cannot master, I don't want to do anything with. All the other pattern matching has to remain as it is. It is the (*) that is able to, and has to change.

An example to make it clear.

In the line:

HP: 713/321 SP: 461/1615/100%/40% Sat: 0% Cnc: 58% G:3/19% S:1/49% G2N:51% A MS SS B MG PE MB GS Mon(Mud):pe

I want the variable to store, without quotes "A MS SS B MG PE MB GS"

Then I will place that variable on my Status Bar. And I will be a happy fellow.

Hrm. This is interesting. It's actually already doing what I want kind of.
I simply did this:

#var currentdspells %14

Then I started echoing triggers to see what was taking place.
And this is what I am presented with.

[G2N:(*)~% (*) ~<P~>-> #IF (@hpgag) {#gag}]
[HP~: (%d)~/(%d) SP~: (%d)~/(%d)~/(%d)~%~/(%d)~% Sat~: (%d)~% Cnc~: (%d)~% G~:(%d)/(%d)~% S~:(%d)~/(%d)~% G2N~:(%d)~% (*) ~<P~>-> #var currenthp 753
#var maxhp 361
#var currentsp 1228
#var maxsp 1771
#var mentalcognition 100
#var gem 10
#var saturation 2
#var concentration 75
#var gcanmake 3
#var greset 90
#var schoolspell 1
#var schoolreset 12
#var G2N 52
#var currentdspells A MS SS B MG PE MB GS]

If i then at this point do:

#var currentdspells

Variable: currentdspells A

It's stopping storing at the first space bar. What minor change do I have to do? I knew this wasn't a complex problem.

Use proper delimeters to tell zMud that all the text should be used as a single argument. In this case either double quotes or braces are proper. I chose braces since that is what is shown in the help for #VARIABLE.

#var currentdspells {%14}

Sorry, it's morning and I've not had my coffee yet.
I removed a few of the ~'s from the pattern match, but this seems to be matching the last bit fine for me now, whilst still leaving all the rest intact too.

#TRIGGER {HP: (%d)/(%d) SP: (%d)/(%d)/(%d)~%/(%d)~% Sat: (%d)~% Cnc: (%d)~% G:(%d)/(%d)~% S:(%d)/(%d)~% G2N:(%d)~% (*) ~<P~>} {currentdspells = %14}
