Zugg Software :: View topic - Capture first word of each new line into a list

I've been browsing around and cant see a complete solution to this. Tried cobbling together bits from other peoples but the problem is the first line.

Basically i have a command to check my inventory. I send the command and the list of items starts without any intro text I can trigger on like this:

Wand121497; a magical wand.
Sword121499; a silver sword.
potion121; a clear potion.

etc etc

At the end of the list I get the text: 'Thus 14 items protected with ....' Which I can trigger on to end the capture.

My problem is I cant figure out how to start the capture and get the first word only (up to the ;) of each line into a list variable. Becuase theres no text at the start I cant fire it on that and secondly Im not getting the syntax right for the word that precedes ;

TIA

You can use [%w%d] to capture the word at the start, matching letters and numbers. You can start the capture by using an oninput trigger, something like:

#oninput {^inv} {#t+ itemcap}
#cond {Thus %d items protected with} {#t- itemcap}

#trig itemcap {^([%w%d]); a*.} {do whatever} "" {disable}
