I have the following trigger:

You{ |*$*}may{ |*$*}enter{ |*$*}the{ |*$*}wilderness{ |*$*}map{ |*$*}from{ |*$*}here.$

It is written this way to account for: a space, a linebreak, a space-linebreak, a linebreak-space, or a space-linebreak-space (after any one of the words). It seems to work, however if I set the trigger value to: "#ECHO It worked!" I am spammed with multiple echoes.

This is in a room where there is a space and a linebreak after "the".

With the settings "newline" and "trigger on trigger": I get 7 consecutive echoes.

You don't need stringlists for this, just use %q. I'm not sure what the asterisks are for, but that's probably your problem.

My questions weren't really answered.

I used the { |*$*} pattern to match either word-space, word-space-linebreak, word-linebreak, word-linebreak-space, or word-space-linebreak-space. If that description is unclear, let me know?

What would %q do for me in this case? Not anything about it in the manual (unless you mean %query or %quote, in which case I'm still confused).

Help is appreciated!

Try this:

#TRIGGER {^*$} {#IF (%regex(%line2%line,"^You may enter the wilderness map from here\.$")) {#ECHO {It Worked!}}}
