Ok this will sound long winded but its pretty simple what I am trying to do.

I have a trigger like this:
Trigger: landed a yellow perch weighing (%d) pounds and (%d) ounces.
Value: #NEW Fishing {Type of Fish=Catfish|Pounds=%1|Ounces=%2}
Now that all works fine.
What I want it to do is only do the #NEW if %1+%2 is greater than any catfish ever caught by me before.

The problem is as always with Achaea that it can line wrap at any of these points.
#TRIGGER {^landed a yellow perch weighing (%d) poun[ds] and (%d) ounc[es]} {#NEW Fishing {Type of Fish=Yellow Perch|Pounds=%1|Ounces=%2}} "FISHINGDB"
#TRIGGER {^perch weighing (%d) poun[ds] and (%d) ounc[es]} {#NEW Fishing {Type of Fish=Yellow Perch|Pounds=%1|Ounces=%2}} "FISHINGDB"
#TRIGGER {^perch weighing (%d) poun[ds]} {#NEW Fishing {Type of Fish=Yellow Perch|Pounds=%1|Ounces=%2}} "FISHINGDB"

At Present I have a heap of fish all in the database when really all I need is the biggest ones. Sort of like my own trophy room of big fish. I probably could do it just with variables but I cant seem to work it out and I figure that Zmud has a Database I may as well learn to use it as it is one of the features I have always wanted to learn.

Thanks in Advance

Start by upping your pagewidth in the config. This solves most triggering problems not related to the room text.

No, that doesnt work I am sorry. By upping pagewidth all you do is cause it to wrap at a different location in the sentence. This still breaks it up into odd lengths and so multitriggers are still needed. Anyways I can do the mutlitriggers. Its the Database part I need help with.

UPDATE:
Here is my class folder which seems to do what I want but not perfectly. It seems to work fine for a few but then stops working or works sporatically. At present it is only for the Small fish on Achaea. I am sure there are more efficent ways to do this but this is what I have managed.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

How far can you up it? If you can reach a point where not even Achaea will be able to wrap the text then ZMud treats whatever it wraps as a single line. This single line is then easily triggered on.

Matt you so rock! It let me go out to 250 characters which makes it work.
I now have just 2 triggers that capture all the fish I catch, this is much better anyways because I can look at them all.
All I need now is a way to go through the lists and grab the biggest of each and #echo them. Is this possible? What I am looking for is a way to echo something like this.

Anyone have any ideas. As I said I am not familar with the database system. I figure there has to be a way to compare all the Pounds and Ounces columns while using the Type column as the point of reference. So that it will parse through all Type that are say Catfish and then move the one that has the largest Pounds and Ounces into a variable so I can display it. Does that make sense?

Set up a view for the database with Type in the sort. Also enter the formula "&Pounds*16+&Ounces" in the sort. You can the use %query with that view to get a list of records for any given type all sorted by weight.

Ah ok, I think I will go back to variables and string lists. The database is a great storage idea but doesnt seem to do effectively what I need. Thanks for all the help anyways!

call me stupid, but I can't find where the config is to change the pagewidth.....where can I find it?

#TRIGGER {lan[ded] {an|a} (*) weighing (%d) poun[ds] and (%d) ounc[es]{!|.}$} {Type=%1;pounds=%2;ounces=%3;date}

using the above trigger I have a string that I am trying to compare. It is a list of fish names like this:

#VAR fname {Giant chubsucker|Striped Shad|Blue eel}

I capture the matching name from a trigger and what I need is a way to #IF check.
[code]
#TR {lan[ded] {an|a} (*) weighing (%d) poun[ds] and (%d) ounc[es]{!|.}$} {Fish_records/Type=%proper( %1);Fish_records/pounds=%2;Fish_records/ounces=%3;#math Fish_records/Fchecker (@pounds*16+@ounces);#IF (@Fish_records/type="%item( @Fish_records/fname, 1)") {#IF (@Fish_records/Fchecker>%item( @Fish_records/current, 1)) {#Addi records {%proper( @type) @pounds @ounces @date}};#VAR current %replaceitem( "@Fish_records/fchecker", 1, @current)} {All the blue part is repeated here 16 times, each time the red +1}}

Should the above work? I cant seem to see why it doesnt. Syntax wise it seems ok according to Zmud.

Oh @current has a value in it that is checked against that is @Fchecker. If Fchecker is larger than current it is supposed to replace corresponding current value with fchecker value.

I am having a similar problem. My MUD doesn't have a way to adjust the page width, and I am having difficulting figuring out the database stuff. I can follow some of it, but a lot is confusing me and all....If someone could explain how it works or show me something to help me out it would be most appreciated. This is an example of what my identify command looks like....
