I play Dragonrealms and have created a class that is activated by a macro. This class is responsible for searching a creature I kill and skin. This part works fine.

The part that is giving me an issue is the collection of treasure boxes. I have a trigger set up to pick these boxes up but once in a while I come accross an oddball box description.

You also find a salt-stained steel trunk
You also find a poorly made copper trunk

I can match this fine without the hyphen but it is the hyphen that is throwing me off on some of these boxes.

Thanks for any help.

What is your current trigger pattern and action?

My guess is that he's using something like [%w%s] to capture "poorly made copper". * would do the same thing, but it wouldn't have problems with hyphens unless that happened to be used as a special character. In keeping with the former assumption, just use either of the following:

[%w%s-] -- specifically only matches (or should, based on my knowledge of ZMud) the letters, spaces, and hyphens
[%x%s] -- matches letters, punctuation symbols like hyphens, commas, and quotes (ie, gor'tog), numbers, and spaces

Thanks Matt. [%w%s-] did the trick.

I don't know why I keep trying to do this stuff when I am half asleep.. Embarassed
