Dunno how big your list is, so I'm not sure how fast/slow any #read or similar command would run on that file. If you can get the list into a variable beforehand or even to eliminate the file, you can simply use this trigger assuming they'll all be the same color:
#trigger {{@names}} {#cw red}

speed isnt an issue what im doing is makeing a list of names at the bottem is a small sample of what I want to cpy and past from. It will be a huge list. Any time I see that name in game I want it see it in red. but without putting them all in a trigger. I can make a trigger for each one but I want to be able to just copy and paste the names into a big trigger so that when it sees the names it will make them a certain color.
Im sure youll recognize a few names matt

Read all of the names from the file into a variable and then use the trigger Matt provided:
#ALIAS importNames {#FILE 1 fileName;#VAR names "";#LOOP 1,%filesize(1) {#VAR names %additem(%read(1), @names)};#CLOSE 1}
