Need help improving a trigger
 
I'm playing a MUD with too many channels to keep tabs of, and was trying to split these into windows using the #capture command. I am wondering if #capture is not the best way to go about it however, and was hoping someone might be able to help me refine the trigger:

#TRIGGER {(Group)} {#cap Group} "Captures" {case|verbatim}

Very simple trigger, and I have a couple of problems with it:

1) The format I want would be:
#TRIGGER {^(Group) %w: '*' } {#cap Group} "Captures" {case|verbatim}

But (I think because I had to use verbatim to get around the () in the trigger), I cannot get it to recognize anything beyind (Group).. this causes the obvious problem of capturing way too many things.

The second issue I have is that I sometimes see channels linked after my prompt, like:

<HP: 2140/2140, MN: 1766/1766 MV: 1521/1521, XP: 1232tnl QT:3, AL: 1000> (Group) Atreides: 'test'

So if I anchor the trigger with ^ I am missing many matching patterns.

If anyone could advise me, I'd appreciate it.

Try this:

#trigger {~(Group~) (%w): '(*)'} {#win Group ~(Group~) %
1: '%2'} "Captures"

To stop zmud parsing the parentheses and force it to match them, the quote character had to be used: ~

To capture channels which occur on the same line with your prompt, don't use the ^ anchor.

Alternatively, use a second trigger with the prompt pattern preceding the channel pattern.
