Here is the mud output I'm working with

Current Sites
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[00]: Mage Guild - Research and Tutelage
[01]: The Astarian Library
[02]: The Royal Counting House of Astaria
[03]: Starkeep Grand Hall
[04]: < open >
[05]: < open >

I would like to be able to capture each location listed and place them into an array so I can access them. I know how to populate the array once I can grab the strings.

Here is my latest attempt.

#trig {"~[00~]: "} {#call %match(%line, "~[00~]: *", $gatezero); #va test $gatezero#echo @test}

This should store the string "Mage Guild - Research and Tutelage" and store it in the variable test, then echo it to my screen. However, nothing happens and no variable test is created at all. I know it should be firing because when I made the trigger

#trig {"~[00~]: "} {#echo test}

it echos test to my screen

So something else is wrong...

oh the basic trigger,

#trig {"~[00~]: *"} {#echo %1}

also does not work, I tried that first hoping for an easy solution.

The basic trigger is the one you'd want to use, but it's not echoing anything because you're not capturing anything. Put () around the * and try again.

Also if there are no quotes on the screen then you don't want any quotes in your trigger so

#TRIG {~[%n~]: (*)} {#echo %1}

If there are a variable number of spaces after the colon as opposed to just one then use

#TRIG {~[%n~]:%s(*)} {#echo %1}
