Zugg Software :: View topic - Detecting certain color strings in trigger pattern

I'm trying to make my own mapper trigger (since the automapper doesnt work too well with my MUD). I want this trigger to fire whenever I enter a new room. I want the pattern to detect cyan colored text after my prompt but what I'm trying doesn't seem to be working... Here is the pattern I'm trying to use:

^(%d)H (%d)M (%d)V > %ansi(cyan)(%*)$

This looks like it should work but it isnt... When I enter a new room I see this:

1334H 177M 363V > A Frozen Lake

The room name is colored regular cyan (not bright or anything)...

Why isnt my trigger firing?

%a = match any number of alphanumeric characters (a-z,0-9)
Since %ansi(cyan) is in your pattern, it's

any number of alphanumeric characters (a-z,0-9), followed by "nsicyan", with cyan saved to the %1-%99 parameters.

You can't use functions in the pattern.
