Hi all -

I'm trying to write a trigger to capture item info and write to a database. When the item info is displayed on screen, the actual item detail begins on line 4 of the output, and I can't figure out how to get CMUD to correctly obtain the data. Here's an example of output:

Melizar the Sage tells you 'Ahhh... a long black cape...'
Melizar the Sage tells you 'Hrmm... YES, I know of this item... '

Item Keywords: cape black
Size: Normal, Composition: Silk, Weight: 6
Min Level: 20, Cost: 114000, Rent/day: 22800

This item is classified as ARMOR, with the following modifiers:
Equip Positions: TAKE NECK
Additional Modifiers: MAGIC

I'm trying to get my trigger to read the data immediately after the words "Item Keywords:" on line 4. I've tried several attempts at using regex to skip down (some below)... but none work, as no data ever gets assigned in #ADDKEY.

#TRIGGER {*Item Keywords: (*)} {#ADDKEY Item {Name="%1"}}

#TRIGGER {*$*$*$Item Keywords: (*)} {#ADDKEY Item {Name="%1"}}

etc...

How can I tell CMUD to skip the first 3 lines? Thank you!

Doug

Don't worry about how many lines come between.

#TR {Item Keywords: (*)} {#ADDKEY Item Name %1}

Hi Shalimar - yes, tried that too... nothing.

It's weird, from the example above, if I use:

#TR {Melizar (*)} {#ADDKEY Item Name %1} melizar

then it works fine, and returns the string: the Sage tells you 'Hrmm... YES, I know of this item... '

so it does work (though notice it pulls the second occurrence of the work Melizar). I just can't get it to find the string match on the 4th line. Very frustrating.
