Here is my sample data from the mud:
A Well-Traveled Road
x%+
+#:
::+

I am wanting to capture those 3 lines under the Room Name so that I can put them into a 3x3 array.

Here is what I have based on previous input from MattLofton:

#trigger {A Well-Traveled Road} {
#T+ MapRad
CapOut=0}

#trigger {(%*)} {
#ADD CapOut 1
#if (@CapOut=1) {MapGrid1=%1}
#if (@CapOut=2) {MapGrid2=%1}
#if (@CapOut=3) {MapGrid3=%1}
#if (@CapOut > 3) {#T- MapRad}} "MapRad"

My code is only capturing the top line and assigning it to MapGrid1 where MapGrid1=x%+ MapGrid2=empty and MapGrid3=empty

I am confused. How can this be? What am I doing wrong? I have even remarked out the last line #if (@CapOut > 3) {#T- MapRad} and get the same results, so I know it isn't because it is prematurely turning off the script. Help!

It might because ZMud's trying to parse the data in %1. With all them special symbols, it would be surprising if that's what was happening.

What happens if you surround each %1 with double quotes?

EDIT: you might be better served with this or a #CASE command instead of 3 #IF commands:

#if (@capout <= 3) {MapVar@capout = "%1"} {#T- MapRad}

You are the Bomb! It was the dbl quotes from around the %1's. Thanks much...
