Ho hum
Looking at a #TEMP trigger inside a long alias, the patterns (%d) or (%1) or whatever I use are highlighted with a yellow background and red text. No errors are shown but the trigger does not work. Can anyone clarify what the highlights signify.

The highlights just show that it's a trigger pattern within the main body of the code. As for why it's not working for you, I can't tell without more information.

Thanks

The trigger is
#temp {On the paper is written: 'l:(%d), p:(%d)'} {login %1;password %2}

Which needs to trigger on patterns like:
On the paper is written: 'l:3498, p:58240525'

Its incredibly simple but I've tried various combinations. It works if I type it manually, but as part of the alias it triggers but the 2 variables are blank.

I was asking about the yellow highlights because if I don't put the %d in brackets it's in magenta, if I put it in brackets then its red with yellow highlight.

thanks again

It may have something to do with the :s. This is the focus character be default. In your trigger add a ~ before it.

#temp {On the paper is written~: 'l~:(%d), p~:(%d)'} {login %1;password %2}

The problem is that it is using the %1 and %2 from the alias instead of just sending it as actual text for the trigger to be created. Try doing this instead:
#TEMP {On the paper is written: 'l:(%d), p:(%d)'} {login %%1;password %%2}
