Here is my Exit desc:
Exits: [north] east west [southeast]

[] indicate that it is a door.

I want to automaticly create these doors in the mapper.

I tried this trigger and it works on rooms where there are only one door.
Exits:*~[&doordir~]
@doordir = direction

If i use this trigger in the exit example
Exits: [north] east west [southeast]
@doordir = southeast

I tried to add a second trigger (to caputre only the first [north])
Exits: ~[&doordir~]
@doordir = north] east west [southeast

Conclusion: Im a twat.
I can make it work with rooms that have only one door. Rooms with multiple doors i can not get to work.

Your help would be much appriciated.

your problem is that a trigger will only fire once per line. I'm going to show you a solution similar to the one i posted for kaset, where we take the whole string and then cut out the parts we don't want:
#tr {Exits: (*)} {
#var doordir ""
#var exitstring ""
#VAR exitstring %replace( "%1", "[", "/")
#VAR exitstring %replace( @exitstring, " ", "|")
i = 1
#FORALL @exitstring {
#IF (%pos( "]", %i)) {
} {
#DELNITEM exitstring @i
}
#add i 1
}
doordir = %replace( @exitstring, "/", "")
doordir = %replace( @doordir, "]", "")
}

and the final variable @doordir should be a string list with the directions of the rooms that are doors.

--edit--
left out crucial part..the trigger pattern

Thanks Emit for your quick response, but it didnt work ;)
I had to change the #forall code to this one

#forall @exitstring {#if (%pos( "/", %i)>0) {} {#delitem exitstring %i}}

Zmud got confused by using
#DELNITEM exitstring @i in your #forall statement. It deleted wrong doors and some time it didnt delete the door it should delete.

So i went through your code (and all the help files i could find) and came up with the solution above.

Thanks for your time and effort

Best Regards

yeah, i had some problems with that too, i thought it was stripping the []'s from the string, which is why i came up with the solution of replacing in the "/". i'm glad its working now at least
