So basicly i want zmud to automaticly grab all the info i get when i identify an item and dump it into the items database. Reading through some of the old posts it even seems like it can be done. However i don't really know a whole lot about triggers and i've only just started looking into that database like 20 minutes ago. That's why i'd like to ask; Are there any particular guides/tutorials/helps i should read regarding this?
I had imagined a trigger going off when i cast a succesful identify that would filter the info from the echo'ed msg and then add it to the various fields in my database.

Should take a look at scripting the database in the help file in Zmud
If you post some Identify examples people could guide you through the triggers and database usage

Take a look at http://www.silverbridge.org/~varmel/zmud/tutorials/zmuddb.htm

So it would look something like:

#CLASS {identify}
#TRIGGER {Object '&{item.name}' is type &{item.type}, extra flags &{item.flags}.} {}
#TRIGGER {Wear location: &{item.location}} {}
#TRIGGER {Weight is &{item.weight}, value is &{item.value}, level is &{item.level}.} {}
#TRIGGER {Armor class is &{item.acpierce} pierce, &{item.acbash} bash, &{item.acslash} slash} {}
#TRIGGER {Affects ac by &{item.ac}. } {}
#TRIGGER {$} {
; If the there is an item in the database with the name @item.name
; Already then don't add the item.
#if (%find( @item.name) = "") {#new "" @item}
; New item might have been added. Empty the database record.
item = ""
; We have finished identifying the object so we deactivate this trigger class.
#t- identify
}
#CLASS 0
#ALIAS identify {
; Activate the identify trigger class. Then cast the identify spell so
; that there's some output to parse.
#t+ identify
cast identify %1
}
