This is my prompt:
&R%X&WXP [&Y%h/%H&WH &B%m/%M&WB &G%v/%V&WV] %a -&P%S &B%T &P%A &W$&Y%g &W>

Shows something like this:
24536XP [500/500H 800/800B 610/610V] 950 -S day H $9999999 >

My pattern:
&W$&Y(%d)

#var cash %1

When I use this trigger, it captures my experience left (%x) instead of my gold (%g), can anyone spot the problem?

You probably need to put a ~ tilde in front of the $ to keep it from matching as a newline. But other than that, i'm not really sure what you are trying to do with all of the & characters, are you trying to automatically save parts of the pattern into variables that way? If so, the syntax is incorrect, look at the "Pattern matching" section of the zmud help, it has some nice examples.

Something like this would work much better to capture the gold.

#TRIGGER { ~$(%d)} {#VAR cash %1}

but this will capture any number preceded by a dollar sign as the amount of money that you have, so it would be better to incorporate this into one large prompt trigger to capture all the status you need at once.

This is NOT your prompt:
&R%X&WXP [&Y%h/%H&WH &B%m/%M&WB &G%v/%V&WV] %a -&P%S &B%T &P%A &W$&Y%g &W>
It's the string your MUD uses to create the prompt.

zMUD works with what your MUD shows, it has no way of detecting the string your MUD uses to establish the prompt.

THIS is your prompt, it's what you see after every command:
24536XP [500/500H 800/800B 610/610V] 950 -S day H $9999999 >
and that's what your trigger needs to match. Bruntilda's trigger will do what you intended.

& is a special character, both to your MUD and to zMUD. It is used in a zMUD trigger phrase as a shortcut for creating variables, and becomes a wildcard at the same time. So in your trigger, &W is %1. That's why it captures the experience.

$ is also a special character to zMUD. If you want zMUD to treat a special character as a normal character, it must have the ~ immediately preceding it.

I hope this helped. As Brunhilda said, you should read "pattern matching".
