now, when I test this in the test section of triggers it puts the correct value in the correct places, however, when I try it in the mud it only captures the first part of the string it needs to capture.

here's the script.

the trigger part.
It would cost you (*) xp and (*) to raise (*) from level * to (*).

the variable part.
#var mygoal %1
#var costi %2
#var skils %3
#var lvlgoal %4

now I normally use characters that are trained in a part of the world where the money format is $12.34

if I use this line to test the trigger in Zmud:
It would cost you 162804 xp and LC 4|8|6 1/4 to raise magic.spells from level 5 to 50.
the variable output is:
%1 : 162804
%2 : LC 4|8|6 1/4
%3 : magic.spells
%4 : 50

however, when I enter the line in the mud to trigger this output from the mud:
It would cost you 162804 xp and LC 4|8|6 1/4 to raise magic.spells from level 5 to 50.
the variables stored is:
%1 : 162804
%2 : LC
%3 : magic.spells
%4 : 50

I need to know how to force zmud to capture the whole string between 'xp and' & 'to raise'
please help me, wits end coming soon.

It is a good practice to use limited wildcards whenever possible. Also surrounding parameters in proper delimiters it necessary. While it wouldn't affect the assignments for mygoal, skills,and lvlgoal; it was the source of trouble with costi. You will likely find that variable has some garbage in its default value, and you may have some screwy classes and duplicate variables because of the lack of delimeters.

the trigger part.
It would cost you (%d) xp and (*) to raise (*) from level %d to (%d).

the variable part.
#var mygoal {%1}
#var costi {%2}
#var skils {%3}
#var lvlgoal {%4}
