Greetings! I appreciate the help, and apologize before hand for taking your time.

Anyway, i have this prompt

4300h, 5654m, 20400e, 24894w cexkdb-+++++--

And the trigger for the prompt (best i could think of):

^(%d)h, (%d)m, (%d)e, (%d)w [cexkdb-](*)

I want to capture the +++++-- and translate into numbers.

The general idea is that you start without any + or -. When you receive an attack in that mud, you gain "energy" in form of +. Each + represents 20 points, with the max of energy gained is +++++ (100 points), (-- don't matter). So the prompt could be instead:

4300h, 5654m, 20400e, 24894w cexkdb-+--
4300h, 5654m, 20400e, 24894w cexkdb-++--
4300h, 5654m, 20400e, 24894w cexkdb-+++--
4300h, 5654m, 20400e, 24894w cexkdb-++++--
4300h, 5654m, 20400e, 24894w cexkdb-+++++--

I stored the entire thing in a variable. But how would i go about changinn those +'s into numbers? If my pattern is not correct, how could i go about fixing it?

Thank you.

Maybe a #TRIGGER and #SUB for each variation, only using the end of the line...

#TRIG {cexkdb~-~+~-~-} {#SUB {cexkdb~- 20~-}}
#TRIG {cexkdb~-~+~+~-~-} {#SUB {cexkdb~- 40~-}}
#TRIG {cexkdb~-~+~+~+~-~-} {#SUB {cexkdb~- 60~-}}
#TRIG {cexkdb~-~+~+~+~+~-~-} {#SUB {cexkdb~- 80~-}}
#TRIG {cexkdb~-~+~+~+~+~+~-~-} {#SUB {cexkdb~-100~-}}

Haven't tested, but should work. You can edit the #SUB output to format the number however you wish, I left it surrounded by "-" for continuity.

Coincidentally, this should work too, with only one trigger needed:

#TRIG {cexkdb~-%1~-~-} {#SUB {cexkdb~- %eval(%len(%1)*20)~-}}

How could i go about gagging that part and storing it to a variable (the numbers) so i can echo it later?
