Capturing wildcards into variables
 
Im having trouble catching variables that are bigger than one word when using wildcards.

E.g.:
#tr {To get home, you need to go: &directions} {@directions}

The problem here is... the mud reports something like (North.) or (Climb wall.) so the trigger sends North. or Climb wall. to the mud... this ALMOST works... it would work without . on the end.

What I need to know, is there way to strip it?

If you don't need to store this command into a variable, you can just use the * wildcard:
#TRIGGER {To get home, you need to go: (*).} {#EXEC {%1}}

If you want to capture it into a variable, then you can use {} to tell zMUD where the name of the variable ends:
#TRIGGER {To get home, you need to go: &{directions}.} {#EXEC {@directions}}
