I was creating some hightlight triggers and I can't figure out how to stop Zmud from highlight strings of that word in other words.

For example, let's stay I want to highlight red as the color red but the problem I get is the letters "red" is highlighted in words that contain "red" and not just the whole word red.

Any comments?

Depends on the word you are trying to catch.

Try grabbing the thing you wish to highlight
with a following space or punctuation.

#TRIGGER {red[ ,.!?]} {#CW red}

Other kinds of words work well with a preceeding
space and/or capturing it from the beginning
of the line.

#TRIGGER {^Red} {#CW red}
#TRIGGER { red} {#CW red}

Actually, I'm not doing a trigger on the specific word but instead setup a trigger on a stringlist. So would this be the same thing? Not at home right now so can't try it but just wanted an idea so I have something to work with later.

Thanks

#trigger {([ ]@redcolorlist}) {#CW bold,red}

Generally, you'll want to include a space or other identifying mark on BOTH sides of the word/wordlist. Also, if you don't like having the extra stuff (ie, punctuation) colored, I'd recommend you use %ansi() or the MXP color tag.
