I have an alias that I want to capture text. So if I type this
NH looktag lookcolor #666600 You also see
Then it save looktag to %1
lookcolor to %2
#666600 to %3
and You also see to %4

I am using this code

Alias name: NH
Value:
#VAR tagname %1
#VAR colorvar %2
#VAR color %3
#VAR ct %4

The thing is the var CT I want to capture more then just one word. I tried * but it didn't work either. The first %1, %2, %3 worked great but %4 just isn't capturing You also see. How do I fix this

NH looktag lookcolor #666600 You also see
%4 should be capturing "You" ....

To capture the whole thing, try:
NH looktag lookcolor #666600 {You also see}

Or use %-4 instead of %4.

Ok, I am using this code

ALIAS: NH
CODE:
#VAR tagname %1
#VAR colorname %2
#VAR color %3
#VAR @colorname @color
#PROMPT trigname "What do you want to highlight?"

#TRIGGER "@tagname" {@trigname (*)} {#SUBSTITUTE {~@trigname %1~</font~>};#IF (!%ends( "%1", ".")) {#STATE @tagname 1}} "" {manual}
#COND "@tagname" {(*)} {#SUBSTITUTE {~%1~</font~>};#IF (%ends( "%1", ".")) {#STATE @tagname 0}} {manual}#COND "@tagname" {(*)} {#SUBSTITUTE {~%1~</font~>};#IF (%ends( "%1", ".")) {#STATE @tagname 0}} {manual}

But it doesn't seem to work. I get all the info up to the prompt right then something goes terrible wrong.

Here is your alias:
#ALIAS nh {#VARIABLE tagname %1;#VARIABLE colorname %2;#VARIABLE color %3;#VARIABLE @colorname @color;#PROMPT trigname "What do you want to highlight?";#EXECUTE %concat( "#TRIGGER ", %char( 34), @tagname, %char( 34), " {", @trigname, " (*)} {#SUBSTITUTE {~", @trigname, " %%1~</font~>};#IF (!%ends( ", %char( 34), "%%1", %char( 34), ", ", %char( 34), ".", %char( 34), ")) {#STATE ", @tagname, " 1}} ", %char( 34), %char( 34), " {manual}");#EXECUTE %concat( "#CONDITION ", %char( 34), @tagname, %char( 34), " {(*)} {#SUBSTITUTE {~%%1~</font~>};#IF (%ends( ", %char( 34), "%%1", %char( 34), ", ", %char( 34), ".", %char( 34), ")) {#STATE ", @tagname, " 0}} {manual}")}

I fixed some errors and changed it to create the triggers using #EXEC. This way, expansion of variables can be controled. Also, the %'s of %1..%n were doubled to prevent zMUD from expanding it in the alias instead of the trigger.

It worked good but it turned all of my text yellow as well and I can't seem to change it back to the default color.

Got it! Just restarted ZMud and it fixed itself. Works great though. I already have about 20 things highlighting
