I am trying to capture some data from the Zmud but im not sure how to do it. The Mud displays this

A wild ginger plant (wild ginger) 10 left.
A ginseng plant (ginseng) 10 left.

now i would like to capture the number 10 and put that into a variable but im not sure how to set that as a trigger.

You use the pattern matching (see the help topic of that name) symbols. %w is a word, * is anything (or nothing), %d is a number. So you'd get something like:

#trig {^A * ~(*(%w)~) (%d) left.} {#var %1 %2}

Great that makes more sense but i didnt give you the correct triggers, i could not edit it for some reason

A valerian plant (valerian)___________10 left

Without the underscore. there is a long space between the last word (valerian) to the number would the prevous script still work for that?

The forums eat more than space. %s in a trigger pattern represents any number of spaces - add that where the spaces would be:

#trig {^A * ~(*(%w)~)%s(%d) left.} {#var %1 %2}
