I play godwars muds which have tons of mobs in one room...

Is there a way to setup a multiline trigger to gag all the mobs and display a combined version, like "(30) A rat stands here." ?

I'm sure there is, but without some more information about the how the room output looks, it's a bit hard to work on it. How do you distinguish between a mob and an object in the room? How do you know the room output has finished? Will mobs always end in a period? How do you know when the room output starts?

The above link is to a post by Nyl (circa late 2001) that creates a container-contents counter illustrating exactly the concept you describe.
