problem:
im catching 'Exits' line from my mud
It starts with 'Exits:'
and then 1-6 directions containig west, east, north, south, up, down or none.
so far i tried to catch them with Pattern: Exits: (%1)
but here already comes the trouble Sad

sometimes those exits must be surrounded with symbols.
Exits: =north=, [east], (south), <west>, *up*, ^down^ or even combined.
but zmud sees only = and 'forgots' about others!
Is here any way to catch that line to string list variable WITH symbols surrounding and use those values later in evaluating?

Capture them directly to a variable in the pattern with the &varname syntax. You will have to turn off "Use [] for evaluation" in the preferences to keep the variable from loosing that data before you can process it.
