First of all, I have a prompt. Depending on the situation, there can be lines before the prompt, in any of the following ways.

prompt

pattern A
prompt

pattern B
prompt

pattern A
pattern B
prompt

Unfortunately, a trigger cannot exclusively match on pattern A; it can occur in other places in the game as well. What I want the trigger to do is this.

"Every time the prompt comes in, capture values from the prompt and #substitute it to {}. If pattern B is present, capture values from it and #gag it, and note its presence. If pattern A is present, capture values from it and #gag it, and note its presence."

If patterns A and B came after the prompt, this'd be easy, but they come before. Anyone have ideas on how to do this, please?

yes, i think you will find the system variables %line2 and %line3 will solve the problem.

#tr {prompt} {
#var gagnum 0
#if (%line2 =~ "pattern A") {
#NOOP parse line2 with some string functions to extract data
#var gagnum -1}
#if (%line2 =~ "pattern B") {
#NOOP parse line2 with some string functions to extract data}
#if (%line3 =~ "pattern A") {#NOOP ditto above;#var gagnum -2}
#NOOP other trigger tasks
#if (@gagnum) {#gag @gagnum} {#gag}
}
