I would like to highlight a single word. Not the whole line of that word in other words.

example: Rat

Would to make it green, but dont want the whole line green or rat in rations green , just the word rat when it is a worb by itself.

Unfortunately, there's no easy way to create a pattern which matches rat but not rations. You'll need several patterns to allow for rat at the beginning or middle of a line, and followed by a space or punctuation. The punctuation will also be colored green. I've assumed you won't have "rat" as a single-word sentence/phrase at the beginning of the line.
#CW {^rat%s} {green}
#CW {%srat%s} {green}
#CW {%srat%p} {green}

Edited to replace spaces with %s.

I'm having a little bit of trouble here as well. What I have so far:

#TR {^Your default pack tactic is ~'*~'.} {#CW {%1} {$cccc00}}

Works fine, whenever I get something like: "Your default pack tactic is 'encirclement'." only the string inside single quotes is colored yellow, just like I wanted it.

Now, the weird part is that after I get a line like that, zMud automatically adds a new trigger in my trigger list, with "encirclement" as the pattern and "#CW $cccc00" as the value. This, of course, causes that the word "encirclement" (and any other string that matches the original trigger pattern) appears yellow, anywhere on the screen. Not exactly what I wanted, after all.

What am I doing wrong?
