I'm trying to get a line to capture without dragging my status that comes before it.

I have about 6 triggers for when there are different numbers of people online and tried:

trigger pattern: {[1]} clan members heard you say, %*
trigger command: #CAP tell "%1"

same thing for the rest just changing the number like this:
trigger pattern: {[4]} clan members heard you say, %*
trigger command: #CAP tell "%1"

the actual capture looks like this:
[AWAY]<#oracle> [4] clan members heard you say, 'something''

or
<#oracle> [1] clan members heard you say, 'something else''

I'd like it to exclude everything prior to the [1] or whichever number it happens to be. So, getting rid of the <#oracle> and [AWAY] for the capture window.

Thanks in advance.

#TR {~[%d~] clan members heard you say, '*'$} {#WIN tell %right(%trigger,%eval(%pos("[",%trigger)-1))}

It didn't work, but that's ok. Thanks for the help, but I'm getting too stressed over trying to do this new, more complex stuff with Zmud, so I'm just going to drop it and deal with the extra capture. Thanks though!

#CAPTURE is a line command. It either captures an entire line or it doesn't, there's no way to capture part of a line with it.
#WINDOW displays text in a different window. Therefore, it can send just a portion of a line to another window when used with a trigger that saves that portion to one of its parameters.

* is a wildcard which matches anything EXCEPT a few EASILY abused special characters. Its use is recommended.
%* is a wildcard which matches anything INCLUDING those EASILY abused special characters. Its use is strongly discouraged unless you expect to enjoy watching helplessly as someone robs you blind and then suicides your character.

%1 in a TRIGGER is a numbered parameter corresponding to the first item in the trigger's pattern that was enclosed in parentheses. Your trigger patterns don't have any parentheses, therefore %1 has no meaning to them.

[1] is a user-defined wildcard which matches any string consisting of just the character "1" (1, 111, 111111, etc).
[4] is a user-defined wildcard which matches any string consisting of just the character "4".
~[1~] is a pattern which matches the character 1 enclosed by square brackets.
~[%d~] is a pattern which matches any number enclosed by square brackets.

[AWAY] is a user-defined wildcard which matches any string made entirely out of the upper-case letters A, W, or Y (AWAY, YAW, etc)
~[AWAY~] is a pattern which matches the string "AWAY" enclosed by square brackets. Case is ignored (unless the trigger uses the case-matching option).

It does help to read at least a few helpfiles, particularly the one dealing with Pattern Matching and those that cover the commands you intend to use.

For what you said you want to do

#TR {(~[%d~] clan members heard you say, *)$} {#WINDOW tell {%1}}
NOTE: Since this is NOT a capture, it won't include color-codes. Sorry.
