Alright, I've been working on this for quite some time.

I can get zMud to smoothly capture two lines without error using States and line1 being the regular with no " and line2 being a *" that occurs within one line.

A second method I've done the same thing is with using Trigger: ChannelInfowith*'s%if("%rightback(%-1,1)" = ~",,^(*)$)

Now that works just fine but trying to expand it past two lines I'm running into errors and until just a bit ago I realised why the %rightback is having error. I was taking it up to 5, 6 and 7 %rightbacks in the triggerline but it dawned on me what each one of those things is just a newline*endline so until it gets to that last amount of data to fill that then it just keeps going and filling variables until the trigger is satisfied and then #window the %0 of it all.

Any ideas to keep this going for more then two lines? While I'd like something more dynamic the 10 nested things if 10 nested things are the only way to get the job done then thats what I'll have to use.

You might need to use two separate, single-state triggers, like so:

#trigger {the start of your tell, "(*)} {#if (%ends("%1",~")) {#noop single-line tell} {#noop multiline tell or wonky message (ie, GM send typo);#T+ tMultiLineTells};TellText = "";TellText = %left("%1",%eval(%len("%1") - 1)}

#trigger "tMultiLineTells" {(*)} {TellText = %concat(@TellText,%left("%1",%eval(%len("%1") - 1));#if (%ends("%1",~")) {#noop end of tell;#T- tMultiLineTells} {#noop more lines to come}}

Heh. I had a similar problem with my communication windows...
Until I set the colour in the mud of any comm line to reverse video as almost nothing else in the mud is reverse video, then created a colour trigger for the reverse video to capture to my comm window, after which I recoloured it in the comm window to whatever colour I wanted that comm line to be in.
If your mud generates a bit of output the same colour as what you are triggering on, you might need to create an exemption list as well in the capture part.
