I am somehow messing up the expansion rules. I have tried %expand it does not seem to be what I want here.

#VAR fooON="You turned on the switch."
#VAR fooOFF="The switch just shut off!"

#TRIGGER {@fooON} {switchON=1}

#TRIGGER {@fooOFF} {#ECHO @fooOFF;switchON=0}

This is not exactly what I'm trying to accomplish but the idea is where there is a variable I want to use the contents of the variable
as a string.

The trigger pattern should be the contents of the variable not @fooON for example. The variable inside the trigger commands needs to be the text inside the variable as well. All expanded as if I manually typed in the text.

The reason for this are the variables are dynamic. I want to create the triggers and destroy them as I read through a database, execute a few commands, and move on to the next record.

Thank you for your help.

Hm, it works fine for me in CMUD. The syntax you used to create the variable wasn't right, but I'm guessing that was just a slip
fooON = "You turned on the switch."

Maybe force expansion using
#TRIGGER {{@fooON}} {switchON=1}
