Trigger and wildcard help
 
Allright, I'm trying to trigger a line of text to put into variables, then show me what it is. I can get everything working except for the last number, which works for numbers smaller then 10, but not 10 itself.

This is the actual prompt from the mud.
Quote:
A wooden pipe (pipe19203) Elecampane 10


Quote:
#trig {^A wooden pipe(*)~(pipe(%d)~)(*)(Elecampane)(*)(%d)} {#var elepipe %2;#var elepuff %6}


and then I have an alias to show the stats quick, instead of looking at all of the pipes.

Quote:
#say Elecampane ---> @elepipe -----> @elepuff


But, when I try to use it, instead of it coming out as 10, this shows.

Quote:
Elecampane ---> 19203 -----> 0


And im not the best with this kind of thing, so...if anyone could provide help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Edit:I've tried this with numbers other then ten, and it works.

It looks like you're trying to account for format-controlled spacing. Instead of using (*) use %s for that. If you need to preserve spacing, you can always surround it with () without having it interfere with your other wildcards.
