Unless there is a way to uniquely identify that specific #, distinct from all other # in the map, that's going to be extremely hard. The only way I can think off off the top of my head is to somehow get it to recognize that this set of lines is a map, have it grab the seventh line, and replace the fourteenth character in the line. Assuming the maps are always the same size...

Actually, it is unique color-wise, so he can use an ansi trigger for it.

That's essentially your map space. The pipes/dashes separating each set of XXX is where walls/doors go. The XXX is the room representation. The left/right X is where any up/down exits appear, the middle X is where the player location appears (a pink/bright maroon #). There's no restriction on which cell can be used to draw a room, so the position of the player location won't necessarily be centered in the map display. Also, # is also used for room info so it can appear in the middle position when you are not in that room.
Without color, the above makes it impossible to discern where your location is. |

Save an ANSI log, grab the ANSI code and the text then stick it in the trigger while enabling the 'ANSI trigger' option.

You don't even need to do that, GS.
To get the ansi code, just highlight what you are getting the code for. Next, go to Settings, and select new trigger. Check the ansi box, then paste what you highlighted. Viola. Ansi captured.
