try this, be sure to tick the perl regex box under the trigger box.

#regex {(you ask|you tell|asks you|tells you|secretly)\:(.+)}

Doesnt capture anything at all your way... mine at leas will capture the first line, if not any followup lines

(you ask \w+|you tell \w+|\w+ asks you|\w+ tells you|secretly): (.+)

heh had to add another wild card to account for the player names but since im not sure on the actual out put lines from the mud ive had to guess ... not sure about secretly though.

The above trigger capped the examples i was able to echo to screen.

I have an example of the output in the second code block above showing a two line test tell i made for this purpose.
I have made a new trigger with your suggested pattern (you ask \w+|you tell \w+|\w+ asks you|\w+ tells you|secretly): (.+) with the regex box ticked and it still will not capture the second line. Capturing the first line was never the issue, I may not know regex but that part i had capturing just fine.

Heh, you're going to kick yourself for this one. Your script is still in the CMud style:

%len(%1) <--right for CMud, wrong for ZMud
%len("%1") <--wrong for CMud, right for ZMud

Your original code was running perfectly fine, but you didn't include a false condition with visible output and so you assumed it wasn't doing anything at all. One of the many tricks I learned as a ZMudder, where trigger/alias code can run right, wrong, or simply not at all.
