Could someone help me make this work ,I want to capture lines that come after the pattern as variables.
Pattern
In the forest you notice:
Fred the Dwarf
Bob the Drow

This how I would like it to work but it seems to be failing

#Trigger In the forest you notice~:$(&%d{inf1})$(&%d{inf2})$(&%d{inf3})$

Any advice would be appreciated.

%d is for numbers
You need to use %w for words

Never really worked with CONDITIONS but i'll think you should check into it.

#Trigger In the forest you notice~:
#COND (*)
#COND msg seen after people

wish i could help ya better, but only used #cond like 3 times, and it was all from other people helping me.

#CLASS Things
#VARIABLE ThingsList {} {}
#TRIGGER "ThingsCapture" {^In the * you notice:$} {ThingsList=""}
#COND {} {#IF (%line="") {#STATE ThingsCapture 3;#SET ThingsCapture 3 1} {#ADDITEM ThingsList {%line}}} {looplines|param=20}
#COND {*} {#ECHO {Error in ThingsCapture: Captured lines exceeded 20};#STATE ThingsCapture 0}
#COND {} {#NOOP Preform further processing here.} {manual}
#CLASS 0

That should do it, but as with all scripts I write here, unless otherwise stated, it is off the top of my head and may be missing a closing something or other. Simply copy and paste into the command line.
