Regex help
 
Hello,

This is the regex pattern that I have working in RegExBuddy
Code:
<wielded>\s*(\(.*\) )*(.*)

this matches
Code:

<wielded>           (Glowing) a fiery dagger
or
<wielded>           (Glowing) (Magical) a fiery dagger


However in the trigger setup of cMUD, it doesn't seem to work, even on the testing page. (And yes, I have the 'use regular expressions' option checked)
Any suggestions? The entire object is to get the 'the fiery dagger' part into a variable for other scripts.
Also, any ideas on how to be able to read any number of (Glowing) or (Humming) etc that may be on the item into separate variables?

Thank you for your time.

Code:

#trigger {^<wielded>%s~((*)~)([%w%s])} {
  $ItemFlags = %replace(%subchar(%1,"()","")," ","|")
  #forall "Glowing|Magical[b]|other tags you never mentioned[/b]" {
    #if (%ismember(%i,$ItemFlags)) {#addkey Item %i 1} {#addkey Item %i 0}
  }
  item.name = %2
}

<wielded>\s+((?:\(.+\) ?)*) (.+)

Should work
